September/October 2020 • TulsaPets 17 SCHAUDT’S FUNERAL SERVICE & CREMATION CARE ‘SERVING WITH DIGNITY, CARE & UNDERSTANDING’ At Schaudt’s, our family believes in the value of creating healing and meaningful ceremonies. Our staff has been serving families with a combined experience for over 100 years, helping them during the most difficult time in their lives. This passion for helping families is the heart of our company. As we continually think about what we can do to better serve each family, we developed our core purpose statement: “Serving with Dignity, Care & Understanding.” With the mission statement always in mind, and thinking outside the box, we’ve added Goldie, a Goldendoodle, to our staff, filling the position of “comfort companion.” Goldie follows the lead of service dogs often used in healthcare settings, such as hospitals and nursing homes, and provides families with unconditional love and support as well as a subtle distraction from their grief. Family-owned and operated, Schaudt’s has facilities in Tulsa, Glenpool and Okmulgee, and we are the only firm in Tulsa and Okmulgee County to have a comfort dog on staff. Goldie found a special niche at the funeral home where she soothes grieving families with her calming presence. The funeral home does everything within its capabilities to make its facilities warm and comforting—we’re not your typical funeral home. Outside of her duties, Goldie is a cheerful family dog and loves cuddling with her family at home, going for walks and playing in the yard. Visiting a Schaudt Location: In today’s climate, we know there is a lot of uncertainty. We want you to know what we are doing to keep your safety top priority and how you can still support friends and family during a time of loss by knowing the facts. We want to thank you in advance for putting your trust in us. While the COVID-19 virus has required all of us to be more mindful as we go through our regular activities, rest assured that our locations are clean and safe. Even before this crisis, we maintained health and safety measures designed to address a broad spectrum of viruses. Now this includes COVID-19. Our protocols cover everything from handwashing hygiene, cleaning and product specifications to ventilation, equipment and common area cleaning procedures.
