Our Promise
“An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.” - William Dean Howells
Paul Schelm Funeral Home was founded on strong principles, which have evolved into a promise made to each and every family in Charlotte and Desoto Counties. A promise is, of course, a commitment to do, or to give; a pledge. For us, this promise has four facets:
- To treat those we serve with respect, compassion and dignity.
- To take care of the details, allowing you to concentrate on the celebration of your loved one's life.
- To provide the most value for your dollar.
- To guide and assist you in selecting only those services and products necessary for the care and remembrance of your loved one.
A foundation of this promise is our commitment to always be available when you need us. That level of service has been a cornerstone of our caring for the families of Southwest Florida since 1979, and will continue to be. When you call us, you reach us directly; 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The second cornerstone of our firm is affordability. We are the most reasonably priced full service funeral firm in the area. In today's economy, families owe it to themselves to explore all their options, and our General Price List and Price Comparision Sheet will help you do that – in the comfort of your own home.
When you’re ready, we invite you to call, or come in, and see what we can do for you. Our goal is to help you memorably celebrate the life of your loved one – while staying within your budget. We know you’ll find that ‘our acre of performance’ will exceed your expectations.
“Families that call us will never reach an answering service. The phone goes home with us at the end of each day, and all calls are answered personally –no matter when it rings. You will always reach a caring professional, and a member of the Schelm family.” - Paul Schelm
