This may be a bit overdue, but here goes. I lost my same-sex partner, Louis Uetz Jr., 5 years ago this coming January 14th.
I went to Schetter's mainly because my family had utilized their services many times before.
Bill Schetter treated me with class, dignity and respect. I felt as if I was treated with the same respect as if I were Louis legal spouse.
Louis and I had spent 9 years of our lives together and on my own, at age 30, I was planning a funeral for my beloved.
Louis was cremated the day after his death and his service was held at Schetter's 7 days later. I could not have been more pleased. The property is perfection, the staff dignified and warm and the surroundings are warm and welcoming.
My own father said it, and I agree, Bill Schetter is the epitome of a gentleman.
Noone ever wants to think of where they would go to for one of the darkest times in their life, but Schetter's did help to darken and warm my coldest and gloomiest days after Lou's passing.
Thank you, Sincerely. I hope to live a long time, but when my own time comes, the people who need to know already know who to call.
Even now, 5 years later, I know that I put together a service that Lou would have been proud of, with the help of a great man, Bill Schetter.
