Welcome to Schoen Funeral Home

In 1859, there arrived in New Orleans, from the Rhineland village of Rommersheim, two ambitious young German immigrants named Jacob Schoen and Henry Frantz. The former became a carriage driver, the latter a blacksmith and wheelwright. On March 4, 1874, Schoen and Frantz started a family business and adopted as their policy the ideal of “the highest standard of service to all, regardless of financial circumstance”. Through the years, this policy has proven to be the foundation of the greatest significance for Jacob Schoen & Son Funeral Home in building this institution of broad community service. The policy was perpetuated by the son of Jacob Schoen, Philip J. Schoen, Sr. and continued by his sons, grandsons and great-grandsons through the third, fourth and fifth generations.

Since 1874, each decade has been marked by advancements inaugurated by Jacob Schoen and Son in providing better service and facilities for people in the community where families come to pay respect to loved ones, and discuss options, such as advance planning for a traditional, memorial, or cremation service.
