Bernard C.  Schroeder followed in his father's and brother's footsteps, and at the time of the 1920 Census was active in running the family business. Sadly, brother Robert died in 1925. Bernard C. Schroeder took the reins of the family business, and in the following year moved the business to 538 Broadway, the Labor Temple building, at Broadway and Line Street. Bernhard F. Schroeder passed away the following year.

In 1936 the business was once again moved, to 715 Cooper Street, where the Schroeder Funeral Home remained through the fall of 1969.. 

Bernard C. Schroeder married, and at least two sons were born to his wife Charlotte S. "Lottie" Schroeder; Bernard K., in 1916, and Kenneth J. in 1920.

After his father's death in 1927, Bernard C. Schroeder carried on the family business.  Bernard C. Schroeder passed away in December of 1965, and was buried at Harleigh Cemetery, survived by his wife and sons Kenneth J. Schroeder and Bernard K. Schroeder..
