We had a very compassionate and caring experience with Hoffmann Schneider as they guided us through the necessary arrangements during this pandemic when the virus took our mother from us. They went out of their way to avoid stress and make sure the arrangements went smoothly.

Everyone at the funeral home was so kind and helpful when making dad’s final arrangements. Scott helped with all of the arrangements, finalizing the obituary, the private family wake service and the funeral, Samantha with the Celebration of Life programs and Jessica checking in with us multiple times to see how we all were doing. My family appreciates everything you have done.

My family had a great experience with HSKFH after the passing of my Dad. We worked with Scott who was very friendly and helped us through this difficult time. They were very accommodating and willing to help in any way possible. I also received a follow-up text a few weeks later checking on us and seeing if we needed anything from them. Right there tells you they truly care about you during your difficult loss. Thanks for all you did to help us get through this difficult loss.

Adam at Hoffman/Schneider and his crew were awesome. He went out of his way to make me feel comfortable during my hard time. He not only did it when my husband had passed but also when my father passed both this year. They go out of their way to make you feel like their own family. Thank you so very much Adam.

Adam Kenny and Karla Schueller were recently at Oak Park Place to speak about pre-planning and have alot of valuable information to offer families who are in need of making final arrangements. Their professionalism and considerate ways were apparent when visiting with our community and I have no doubt that they will provide compassionate dignified care for not only your loved one but just as importantly, the family also.

My family's recent experience with Hoffman-Schneider and Kitchen was absolutely wonderful. Every person who helped us was outstanding, from Alonza who walked us through the planning details with patience and advice to George who comforted us on the evening of my father's wake. We felt at every moment we were in good hands and had nothing to worry about. Flawless isn't a word I use often but I will use it here... thank you for the wonderful work you do for the people of Dubuque. It's a horribly difficult experience made immeasurably better by your expertise and professionalism. Thank you so much!

From the moment the two representatives from HSFH entered my dad's hospital room after his passing, to the final dropping off of flowers and gifts to my mom's house, we couldnt have asked for any better. Alanza (sp?) in particular went the extra mile with all aspects. She was respectful and followed our lead with the atmosphere. During the planning, she offered unbiased advice and had immediate answers to all our questions. During such sadness, her professionalism could not have been appreciated more by all of us. Thank you so much!
