Jesse and Tammy were thoughtful, kind, helpful, and caring. I couldn’t ask for more. At a very difficult time, Jesse met me at Heritage Square Nursing Center with a hug and stories about my Dad. It was one of the most challenging moments of my life and I will never forget his sincerity and kindness. I highly recommend Jesse and only wish everyone who loses a loved one could be met with that same hug and warmth from Jesse…at just the right moment.

Beth and Tammy were both so very sweet to me. It was very much appreciated. I would recommend this firm to family members and friends. They did everything they could. Even offered if paperwork with companies needed to be done. This was our first choice of location, independently-owned, along with the funeral home website.

We chose this funeral home because it was wishes of the family. It was our first choice. Casket "rental" and urn were pricey but we know it's not your fault...things are expensive. We would definitely and absolutely recommend this firm to family and friends. The caring and understanding throughout. This was our first experience being "in charge" and making big decisions. They explained things so well and were patient with us through such a hard time. Beth and the staff were extremely kind before, during and after the following service.

So many little touches were done, delivery of flowers after service, extra newspaper obituaries, etc. All these were noticed and appreciated. Jesse and his staff made us feel taken care of. They were so kind and caring at a time we needed it - feels like we are old friends (and we are from out of town!)

We could not be any more satisfied. Everyone went above and beyond. Beth made sure we didn't need to worry about anything. She prepared a great tribute to my mom.

The staff was very flexible when trying to give Rick his due since there could not be a visitation and only 10 people for the funeral. During this pandemic, they were trying their best to make good of a bad situation.

The Family of Elsie Kraft
The entire staff went above and beyond their services. I would like to have had a listing of all the floral arrangements in the tribute book. I had sent different arrangements with different people, and then it was difficult when writing thank you notes.

Jesse Partington went out of his way to accommodate our family. He is knowledgeable, polite, compassionate and sincere. I cannot say enough about Jesse and Preston- Schilling Funeral Home. The over all assurance was meaningful that we were in capable and caring hands. Beth Baker helped us tremendously - on a Sunday she gave up her family time to prepare more brochures for our celebration of life. Very satisfied on all accounts. A++++
The Family of Mary Jo Hermes Tsokolas
I wanted a wooden urn. They tried to inscribe many pictures on the urn and all the pictures were not the right shade. Never the less, I appreciated their many attempts and patience. To me they were like my family and so easy to talk with, in fact I enjoyed every phone call. Beth and Tammy were so patient, professional, very warm and compassionate. Very satisfied on all accounts.
The Family of Douglas Henry II

Very accommodating!! Warm & sincere. We would definitely recommend this firm to family members & friends. My husband wanted this location because of previous funerals attended. Preston-Schilling is attractive inside and staff will go the extra mile to ease a difficult and sad situation. Innovative in their personal touches pertaining to the deceased. All involved were polite, accommodating and caring. They made a golf display with my husbands picture along with golf tees to be taken as a memento Preston-Schilling did this on their own!! Wonderful display and very personal. Both Beth & Tammy were wonderful! Did everything to help over family during this difficult time. This was our first choice for a funeral home.
