Our Legacy

Serving Families with
Compassion Since 1966

For over half a century, Schindler Funeral Home has proudly served families in Gowanda and the surrounding Tri-County region. As a family-owned and operated establishment, we understand the importance of personal attention, heartfelt compassion, and guiding care through life’s most difficult moments.

Under the leadership of Mark Schindler, who brings over 45 years of experience as a funeral director, our mission has remained the same — to provide meaningful, dignified services that honor every life and offer comfort to every family.
