Schaudt's Buddy Bear

At Schaudt Funeral Service & Cremation Care Centers, we understand that visiting a funeral home can be an unfamiliar or even intimidating experience for children. To help make that experience more comforting, we created Schaudt’s Buddy Bear — a soft, friendly teddy bear given to every small child who walks through our doors.

This simple gesture was born out of compassion and a shared belief that comfort can come from the smallest acts of kindness. Schaudt’s Buddy Bear is our way of helping children feel not just welcomed, but genuinely cared for during their visit.

Schaudt’s Buddy Bear serves as a symbol of comfort, love, and emotional support. Each child who visits one of our funeral homes is invited to take home their very own Buddy Bear — a keepsake that provides a sense of warmth and security.

For many children, having something to hold during difficult moments helps them feel calm and included. Our goal is to make every young visitor feel seen, supported, and comforted in a caring environment.

We encourage families to include their children — of all ages — in meaningful ways during funeral services or remembrance gatherings. These experiences help children develop emotional understanding and begin to process early feelings of loss in a healthy way.

Schaudt’s Buddy Bear is just one of the ways we make our funeral homes a place of comfort, compassion, and healing for every member of the family.

At Schaudt Funeral Service & Cremation Care Centers, we believe it’s often the little touches that make the biggest difference — both for the families we serve and throughout our community. When a child hugs Schaudt’s Buddy Bear, we hope it reminds families of the warmth, care, and love that we bring to every service, every visit, and every life we’re honored to celebrate.
