Services
Shepard Funeral Chapel operates from a purpose-built facility featuring a dedicated chapel, reception room, and specialized spaces for families. The facility includes a children's area and lobby space for gathering. Their on-site reception room accommodates catered meals for post-service gatherings, with staff handling all arrangements.
Shepard Funeral Chapel has served St. Louis families since 1906 from their location at 9255 Natural Bridge Road in North County. As a family-owned and locally operated business, they distinguish themselves from corporate competitors by answering directly to families rather than shareholders. Their approach emphasizes building personal relationships—treating clients as friends, not transactions.
The chapel has become the successor provider for three former Overland funeral homes: Baumann Brothers Funeral Home, Baumann Colonial Chapel, and Hilleman Funeral Home. They maintain the prepaid funeral plans and historical records from these establishments. Staff member Mitch Wilson, who worked at Baumann from 1985 to 2013, joined their team to assist families with this transition.
Shepard Funeral Chapel operates 24/7 with direct staff availability—families reach an actual team member, not an answering service. Their service radius extends well beyond their facility; they coordinate services at churches, cemeteries, and venues throughout the region.
