Before sending flowers, payment or private information

  • Check that the official domain is maurinaschilling.com.
  • Match the funeral-home location named in the memorial: Abbotsford, Owen or Colby.
  • Open the complete individual memorial, not only a search-result preview.
  • Use the church, cemetery or community venue address when the memorial names a location outside the funeral home.
  • Call the correct branch if accessibility, parking, procession timing or cemetery access is unclear.
Same-name caution: This is a Maurina-Schilling page, not a general Schilling page. The same name-confusion problem appears in our Harris Funeral Home obituary guide, where matching the exact domain and location prevents wrong-provider mistakes.

Understand the memorial

What a Maurina-Schilling Memorial Can Include

Obituary textFamily-approved life story, relatives, dates and community details.
EventsMemorial pages can include visitation, funeral, memorial service, burial, interment or celebration of life details.
Funeral-home branchThe memorial can identify Abbotsford, Owen or Colby as the entrusted location.
Church serviceSome official memorials list services at churches, such as local Lutheran or Catholic churches, rather than the funeral home.
Cemetery / intermentBurial can be at a public cemetery, church cemetery or other local cemetery named in the memorial.
Military honorsSome memorials list military honors by a local American Legion or VFW post.
Tribute wallIndividual pages can offer a family-friendly memory or condolence area.
Flowers / treesSome memorials include flower, memorial-tree or plant-a-tree options.
Memorial fundsSome families name a memorial fund, charity, church or other remembrance route.
Practical note: If a notice only says arrangements are entrusted to Maurina-Schilling but the service is at a church or community venue, use the venue address from the individual memorial.
05

Service-day routing

Before Driving: Funeral Home, Church, Cemetery or Community Venue?

Maurina-Schilling memorials can involve more than one location. A memorial service may be at the Abbotsford funeral home, a funeral service may be at a church in Colby or Owen, and the burial or military honors may be at a separate cemetery.

Route A Funeral-home event Use Abbotsford, Owen or Colby only when the memorial identifies that branch for the event.
Route B Church / public venue Use the church or venue address printed in the memorial, not automatically the funeral-home address.
Route C Cemetery / military honors Use the cemetery named for interment or graveside service and ask about procession timing when unclear.

Official memorial examples show why address-checking matters

Church service example Some Maurina-Schilling notices list memorial or funeral services at a local church rather than at a funeral-home chapel.
Funeral home service example Other notices list visitation or service at Maurina-Schilling Funeral Home in Abbotsford.
Cemetery / military honors example Some notices list cemetery interment and military honors after the service, creating a second destination.
Common mistake: Do not map only “Maurina-Schilling Funeral Home” and drive there without checking the full memorial. Chapel, church, cemetery and celebration-of-life venues can be separate destinations.

  • If the memorial names a church, search that church address separately.

Immediate need

What to Do When a Death Has Just Occurred

    Unexpected, accidental, unattended or legally reportable deaths may involve county medical-examiner or coroner coordination before release.

  4. 4

    Prepare personal information

    Have legal name, date of birth, Social Security number if available, marital status, parents’ names, Veteran status, next-of-kin contacts and cemetery or cremation preferences ready.

  5. 5

    Ask about certificates and timing

    Ask whether the funeral home is ordering initial certified copies or whether the family should request copies through the county Register of Deeds or Wisconsin Vital Records.

08

Funeral pricing

How to Get Current Maurina-Schilling Funeral Home Prices Without Guessing

A current itemized General Price List was not visible in the public material reviewed for this guide, so this page does not invent burial, cremation, chapel, casket, cemetery or transfer charges. Ask Maurina-Schilling directly for current itemized pricing.

Ask about Useful question Why it matters
General Price List “Can you provide your current General Price List and explain which items apply to our situation?” The GPL is the central price document for funeral goods and services.
Basic services fee “What is your current basic services fee?” This is commonly separate from facilities, staff, merchandise and outside costs.
Transfer into care “What is the transfer charge, and what distance or after-hours terms apply?” Place of death, distance, weather and release timing can affect the total bill.
Visitation / funeral “What are the charges for visitation, chapel service, church service, staff, hearse and graveside service?” Funeral-home service, church service and cemetery service can be separate line items.
Cremation “What cremation options are available, and what is included in each option?” Direct cremation, viewing and memorial service are different choices.
Outside costs “Which cemetery, church, clergy, newspaper, permit, death-certificate or third-party charges are separate?” Outside costs may not be funeral-home charges.
Official consumer route: Review the FTC Funeral Rule, then call the Maurina-Schilling branch handling arrangements for current itemized price information.

Death certificates

Wisconsin Death Certificate Route After a Maurina-Schilling Obituary

An obituary is not a certified death certificate. For a Wisconsin death, use Wisconsin Vital Records or the correct county Register of Deeds route. The right county depends on where the death occurred, not only where the person lived or where the funeral service is held.

Clark County route Useful for deaths registered in Clark County and for many Abbotsford, Owen, Colby-area families.
Marathon County route Marathon County states its Register of Deeds can print certain records from other counties when the event date qualifies.
Taylor County route Use Taylor County Register of Deeds when the death record belongs to Taylor County or when its statewide-issuance rules apply.
Situation Likely first route Before you order
Death occurred in Clark County Clark County Register of Deeds or Wisconsin Vital Records. Confirm eligibility, ID, current fee, and whether the county can issue the record.
Death occurred in Marathon County Marathon County Register of Deeds or Wisconsin Vital Records. Confirm the date of death and whether statewide issuance applies.
Death occurred in Taylor County Taylor County Register of Deeds or Wisconsin Vital Records. Use the current county form and follow mail, in-person or online instructions.
Death occurred outside Wisconsin Use the vital-record office for the state where the death occurred. Do not use Wisconsin forms for a death registered in another state.
  1. 1

    Confirm where the death occurred

    Use the county and state where the death was registered. Residence alone may not identify the correct office.

  2. 2

    Ask what the funeral home filed

    Confirm whether Maurina-Schilling has submitted death-registration information or ordered initial certified copies for the family.

  3. 3

    Choose county or state route

    Use Clark, Marathon, Taylor, another Wisconsin county Register of Deeds, or Wisconsin Vital Records according to the record location and date.

  4. 4

    Prepare ID and eligibility proof

    Certified copies generally require identification and a qualifying relationship or legal need.

  5. 5

    Order enough certified copies

    Banks, insurance, property transfers, retirement accounts, probate and benefits may require certified copies, but not every organization needs an original.

Fee caution: County, state and online-vendor routes can show different convenience fees or processing rules. Check the current official page before mailing payment or submitting online.

Estate / probate

Probate After a Maurina-Schilling Obituary

An obituary does not open probate. In Wisconsin, probate and estate questions normally route through the Register in Probate for the proper county. The correct county depends on the decedent’s residence, estate property and court jurisdiction.

Clark County Register in Probate

Use when the estate belongs in Clark County.

Clark County identifies the Register in Probate as the office handling probate, guardianship, juvenile and adoption matters that legally come before it.

Marathon County Register in Probate

Use when the estate belongs in Marathon County.

Marathon County probate guidance says a will must be filed with Register in Probate within 30 days of death even if probate is not required.

Taylor County Register in Probate

Use when the estate belongs in Taylor County.

Taylor County notes that Register in Probate staff are not allowed to give legal advice.

Before calling about an estate

  • Have the deceased person’s legal name and date of death.
  • Know whether there is an original will.
  • Identify the decedent’s last legal residence.
  • List titled property, accounts, debts and likely heirs.
  • Ask procedure questions; use a Wisconsin attorney for legal advice.
Practical route: Start with the county where the person lived, then ask the Register in Probate whether the estate belongs there or another Wisconsin county.

Veteran families

Wisconsin Veteran Burial and Memorial Resources

If the deceased was a Veteran, tell Maurina-Schilling early. Military honors, cemetery scheduling, burial allowance, headstone or marker requests, burial flags and Presidential Memorial Certificates may require service documentation.

Wisconsin veterans cemeteries Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs lists state veterans cemetery resources and military funeral honors information.
Federal VA benefits VA.gov covers national cemetery burial, burial allowance, headstones or markers, burial flags and memorial certificates.
Documents to locate DD-214 or other discharge documentation, marriage/dependent records, funeral receipts and cemetery information.
  1. 1

    Tell the funeral home about Veteran status

    Military honors and cemetery routing should be discussed before services are finalized.

  2. 2

    Locate service records

    DD-214 or equivalent discharge paperwork is often needed for burial or memorial benefits.

  3. 3

    Check Wisconsin DVA cemetery resources

    Use Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs for state veterans cemetery and military-honors information.

  4. 4

    Use VA.gov for federal benefits

    Review burial allowance, national cemetery, marker, flag and memorial-certificate rules directly through VA.

Official routes: Start with Wisconsin Veteran Memorial Cemeteries and VA Burial and Memorial Benefits.

Social Security

Death Reporting and Survivor Benefits

Social Security says funeral homes commonly report deaths to SSA. Families should give the funeral director the deceased person’s Social Security number when the funeral home is making the report. Survivor benefits, when available, are a separate SSA process and are not created automatically by an obituary.

Death reporting Ask Maurina-Schilling whether it will report the death to Social Security and what information staff need.
Survivor benefits Potentially eligible spouses, divorced spouses, children or dependent parents should review SSA survivor-benefit rules and contact SSA when needed.
