Years
of Caring
tarted in 1855 by Henry Schellhaas, the
oldest funeral home in Pittsburgh—
Schellhaas & Sons Funeral Home &
Cremation Services—is currently operated by fifth
generation owners Chuck and Rob Schellhaas
and sixth generation funeral directors Matt, Drew
and Ryan Schellhaas – all born, raised, and active
throughout the North Hills communities. From its
modest beginnings, the funeral home has grown to
three distinct state-of-the-art facilities blanketing
the North Hills in West View, Bakerstown/Gibsonia,
and the newest location in the stately Stone
Mansion in the Franklin Park/Wexford community.
“After all this time our foremost priority remains
providing people with the very best services they
need at the most challenging of times – the loss of a
loved one,” says Matt Schellhaas. “All of our facilities
are continually being updated with technology and
spacious family rooms to accommodate modern
demand. We offer the latest in website integration,
online condolences, and mobile capability, while
maintaining the first-class customer service
impressed upon each generation. We can customize
any funeral in any way, including personalized
remembrances and veterans’ funerals with full
honor guard recognition.”
Schellhaas & Sons also provides what anyone
would come to expect from a modern funeral
home: countless ways to personalize a meaningful
funeral, plenty of parking, and the availability of a
member of the Schellhaas family attending to your
every need.
“All of that is important,” notes Matt, “but what we

Rob Schellhaas, Chuck Schellhaas, Matt Schellhaas
hear the most from the people we serve is that they
are happy that they’ve dealt with a compassionate
and knowledgeable Schellhaas family member
from start to finish, that their loved ones received
exactly the funeral services they wanted, and that
we let families decide what’s best for them.”
He adds that one of the big things they
emphasize most is the importance of preplanning,
which carries many benefits for surviving loved
ones.
“This is such an important issue that we’re just
happy to educate people about it,” he said. “With
changes in Medicare and the law surrounding
living wills, it all ties into funeral planning. We can
help people navigate those issues and at least get
them headed in the right direction for what’s best
for them personally. Knowing what you or your
loved one wants in the end can simplify the process
immeasurably, making it easier for any survivors
dealing with the loss.”
Assistance with estate issues, insurance
claims, living wills, and veteran and
Social Security benefits are all part of
a comprehensive aftercare program
offered to every family served. In addition,
grief support programs, literature, and
referrals are made available to help when
times may become especially hard. Every
family is given access to
