Schad and Zabel Funeral Home

Schad and Zabel Funeral Homes has been a trusted pillar of compassion and support for families in Plainview, Eyota, and the surrounding southeastern Minnesota communities. With two conveniently located chapels—Plainview at 57 3rd Street SW and Eyota at 115 South Avenue—the funeral home is dedicated to providing dignified, personalized funeral and cremation services that honor the unique life of every individual. Guided by the core values of compassion, integrity, and honesty, the Schad and Zabel team understands the profound emotional weight of loss and strives to create a comforting, respectful atmosphere for grieving families.

The Plainview chapel, situated in the heart of the city, offers an onsite chapel for services and ensures accessibility with a wheelchair‑accessible entrance and parking. The Eyota location extends the same warm, professional care to families in that area. Both facilities are designed to accommodate a variety of memorial traditions, from traditional funerals to contemporary celebrations of life. The funeral home also partners with local florists to offer flower delivery for expressions of sympathy.

Understanding that grief does not follow a timeline, Schad and Zabel provides ongoing grief support resources to help individuals and families find hope and healing after a loss. They also offer a year‑long grief support email program, delivering weekly messages of strength and comfort. For those thinking ahead, the funeral home’s pre‑planning services allow individuals to make arrangements in advance, relieving loved ones of difficult decisions during a time of sorrow. Brian Poch, the preplanning specialist, assists clients in creating meaningful plans that can even be transferred from other providers if circumstances have changed.

Though the Plainview office is currently listed as temporarily closed, the staff remains available by phone 24/7. Families can reach the team at 507‑534‑2003 or contact Jeff Cink directly at 651‑764‑3680. The Plainview location is open to visitors on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 am to 1 pm, and appointments can be arranged at other times. The Eyota chapel can be reached at 507‑545‑2020.

Schad and Zabel Funeral Homes is committed to transparency and respect in every interaction. They feature current obituaries on their website and offer a subscription service to notify community members when new obituaries are posted. Whether a family needs immediate assistance, wishes to plan ahead, or simply seeks a listening ear, the compassionate team at Schad and Zabel is ready to walk alongside them with genuine care and understanding.
