I would not lay a loved one to rest with this funeral home, even if I was poor and they offered to pay for the entire service and procession. This place disrespected the deceased by prohibiting friends of that person entry in to their funeral home to pay respect. The vile human beings who operate this funeral home took away numerous people's chance to give their respect to a friend one last time, and allowed family members to play gatekeeper at what was a funeral open to the public, as stated in the local newspaper. This place also seems to think they have ownership over public parking spaces, as they asked others to remove themselves from the curb where parking was set up for the automobile procession, and even after they cooperated by taking the signs off their car, were still asked to move at the threat of towing the vehicle, even though it was parked at a public curbside. To no avail, the business also contacted the police to come and see that all people were trying to do was get one last moment with their deceased friend, before the police communicated that "nothing was going on here, I'm leaving". So all in all, Schmidt Funeral Home in Nazareth, Pennsylvania is not only a place to stay away from when choosing a place to care for your loved one after their death, but a place that you shouldn't even attend funerals.
