The Funeral Home Grounds
The very first thing you'll notice about Schrader Funeral Home is the stunning setting of the funeral home. Although on a busy major highway, the Schrader family has built the funeral home amidst peaceful green lawns and award-winning flower gardens and landscaping. We have been recognized by the Ballwin Days Committee for years for excellence in landscaping and floral display. Many people recognize Schrader Funeral Home by the huge bed of impatiens in the front of the building, offering those who stop at the Holloway Road traffic signal in front of the funeral home a moment of peaceful reflection in our busy world.

Atrium and Grand Foyer
As guests enter Schrader Funeral Home, they pass through a domed atrium with seasonal plants and a 20-foot-diameter fountain, then into the story-and-a-half grand foyer where portraits of the Schrader family ancestors flank the wood-burning fireplace. |

Williamsburg Room
The Williamsburg Room features fabric and furniture design in keeping with the colonial Williamsburg tradition with a ramped entry from the main hallway along an inside waterfall. The white-painted mantle above the fireplace displays a ceiling-high gilded framed antique mirror. The Wiliamsburg room is considered by many to be the premier visitation room in the area, and is requested by many families. The Williamsburg room, along with the Chapel garages, is part of the addition to the building of the early 1960s. |

Wedgwood and Rose Rooms
The Wedgwood and Rose Rooms are two large staterooms located in the East addition of the funeral home, completed in 1973. A display case in the Wedgwood room features several pieces of Wedgwood china, while the Rose Room highlights the French Provincial style of furniture and fabrics in complimentary shades of rose. The crystal chandeliers in the Rose Room complete the French look to the room. |

Canterbury Room
The Canterbury Room is a smaller, more intimate stateroom. Families expecting smaller visitations often chose this room for its masculine shades of tan and brown, highlighted by a maroon and green wallpaper border and accessories. |
 |
Schrader Chapel
The Schrader Chapel with its soaring peaked ceiling and central stained-glass window is designed to seat about 150 in colonial designed pews. A separate, adjoining family room can seat an additional 30 guests. The chapel has a state-of-the-art sound system with CD and cassette capabilities, recording capabilities, and a two-manual Rodgers church organ in the balcony. |

Lounge
Schrader Funeral Home's large public lounge is designed for comfortable seating of family members and friends who want to have a snack and a cup of coffee during the visitation. With tables and chairs, a soda and snack machine, free coffee service and a TV with cable, VCR and DVD players, it is well suited to its purpose. There is plenty of counter space for the food items that friends and relatives may bring in. A fireplace warms the atmosphere in the colder months. |
