Testimonials

On 8/19/2026 D.J. Fifield had this to say:
Rarely does a family have a pet so dear to their hearts, a companion that gave as much love as she received. Echo was our little lady for more than a decade, and when she passed it was devastating, and has left an emptiness in our home. Lynn and her mom at Schultz Cremation Center are a blessing. They took the best care of our little Echo. We cannot thank them enough for treating her with such compassion and care, and treating us as a priority. Thank you so much.

On 8/9/2026 Heather Tesdal had this to say:
Schultz crematorium gave us the best experience there possibly could be after losing our precious cat Thursday. We brought our baby to Lynn and she took us in immediately. She was extremely compassionate and caring with our baby girl and us. Very professional yet extremely caring during a very difficult time. Highly recommend using Schultz pet cremation. We received our girl back very fast and the beautiful keepsakes we were given were absolutely heartfelt and made with much thought and caring. Would rate there business more than 5 stars if possible. Please consider using Schultz cremation services for your needs.

On 8/4/2026 Kathryn Tuma had this to say:
Our sweet boy passed away on a Saturday while we were out of town. We truly were at a loss of what to do. Corry and Lynn were able to take him in after hours. They were extremely thoughtful of our dog, the situation and everything in between. Our boy was privately cremated- and we did receive a certificate of cremation.knowing his final hours were nothing but full of love gave light to our hearts. I highly recommend the Shultz family in Streator. ❤️

Lynn and the team at Schultz pet crematory were amazing! Saying goodbye to my beautiful 12 year old rottie Miles was heartbroken, but Lynn had two gentlemen at my vet ready to take Miles as soon as I was done saying goodbye. And they had Miles back to us so fast! Very thankful for there kind words and gentle handling of miles ! I will definitely go back to them in the future .
