From the very beginning of the planning stages, to long after the wake and mass has been held, Sheehy Funeral Home will be so accommodating, understanding, patient, helpful, and respectful of your family wishes, as they were with my family as they helped us plan my father-in-law's wake and funeral. I promise you that you won't regret going with them for a second, and that you and your family are in the best of hands.“
“The Marin Funeral Home were very accommodating from the very beginning. My Mom past on Sunday morning. And Marin funeral was able to meet with us early Sunday afternoon to let us see the funeral home and start making arrangements. They were very kind and consoling throughout the entire process. They were also upfront about all charges and facilitated all facets of the arrangements. It was also nice having the entire funeral home devoted to our loved one as they only host one funeral at a time. Overall a very positive experience considering the occasion. They were also very reasonably priced.
Thank you Marin Funeral

“My grandma passed away last Thursday, and I knew to call Zarzycki’s. My family has used their funeral home for services several times throughout many years with other family members including my great-grandparents. I had the pleasure of speaking with Andrea, who did an amazing job of helping me and my family navigate through this very difficult time of our lives. She was very kind and understanding, and gave us the proper information we needed while making the arrangements. She did so great that none of us left our appointment with any major questions. She, along with her mom, were with us every step of the way. My family and I will be forever grateful for the Zarzycki Family and for the way they took care and respected my grandma. They truly helped us celebrate her life in the best way possible.“
“My family and I had been looking for a large size funeral home. After looking at a few we came across Szykowny funeral homes. As soon as we walked in we felt such peace. This place is beautiful and calm. The director, Jonathan is just the most sweetest, most helpful, patient and understanding man. I know it’s his job but he really took the time to go through everything with us and made sure to make our arrangements perfect. We definitely felt more than just his clients and through these difficult times he made everything so smooth and easy.
I would say the only negatives were on the actual night of the wake he was not there but had a friend be there. She didn’t seem to know what she was doing. The mic didn’t work and she didn’t know how to fix it. Also, she started cleaning like an hour and a half before our end time. I have a large Hispanic family and they brought lots of food so I guess I can understand why she started thinking we wouldn’t end on time. But I told her my family would clean. She did apologize and stop but it irritated me at the moment. And the last annoying thing was ordering the death certificate afterwards. Erika made a mistake and ordered the wrong one so we had to wait another week.
I would definitely say that the pros outweighed the cons. Highly recommend this place.“
“At this absolutely most difficult time of my life,Parkside Chapels made everything perfect. Thank you Jeff and Lexi.I am very grateful.“
“We had the best experience working with staff at Damar-kaminski for my dad's memorial services. They were nothing but professional, trustworthy, reliable, and considerate throughout the entire process. Thank you for respecting our wishes and honoring our dad so nicely. We have nothing but good things to say about the people working here and the facility itself, thank you again.“
“Mr Stan is really helpful it's a local Funeral Parlor and they are wonderful they are terrific and they work with you very helpful and understanding“
“When a loved one passes it feels like you can’t breathe. You’re sad and lost. I randomly selected Orland funeral home because it was close to where I live. My mom was in a nursing home suffering from dementia. When she passed I was heartbroken and honestly nervous about the next steps. I made an appointment to meet with someone from the funeral home. Myself and 2 brothers had the excellent privilege meeting Nick. He was professional but also empathetic. Nick explained things in detail and always ensured myself and my siblings understood. Nick would call and give me updates about the progress of things. This experience was seamless and unlike what I was expecting. If you choose orland funeral
Home please ask for Nick. He is wondering
I hope to not need their services anytime soon but if I should I know I would be well taken care of!“
“Dave quoted me:
$2895 Cremation
$150 Cook county tax
$17 first copy. $6 additional copies of death certificate.
He was helpful, courteous, and professional.
I would recommend their business as they are $1200 less than their closest located competitor.“
“My brother-in-law, Ron, was waked at Kerry's Funeral Home last April. The service provided was outstanding. Mike and his staff were attentive to every detail. Their responses to our numerous requests and questions were always addressed in a thoughtful and considerate manner.“
“All the services we received were GREAT, except when it came to the announcement of the luncheon after the service. There was a disconnect in what should have been communicated to the attendees and when. Some of the people didn't know about the luncheon so did not attend.“
“The caring and professional staff at Wallace Funeral Home were phenomenal. I was in the midst of the storm when my mom passed. I could not think and had never been through the planning process , but they were very patient and compassionate. Couldn't have made it through without them! Thank you to all, especially Rory and Carita!!“
“My family and I are so happy we held my dad’s services at Sourek Manor Funeral Home last week. Maggie was amazing! She was always available and walked us through the entire process. From the moment we inquire about services to the burial, they were so helpful! I cannot thank them enough for how they prepared my father for the visitation. Up until that morning, we thought we would do a closed casket. But as soon as we saw my dad, we decided to do an open casket. He looked the same way he did before he got sick. He honestly looked like he was sleeping And so peaceful! Everyone complimented on how well he looked. This is how we always wanted to remember him. Sourek Manor, thank you for taking care of my dad and giving him the services he deserved!
Always grateful,
Salgado Family“

“After our mom unexpectedly passed away, our family had to scramble to find a funeral home to have her services. Not having a specific funeral home our family uses, we met with a few different places. Everybody seemed incredible, but Becvar and Son stood out to all of us. From the second we met them they were kind, genuine, and not pushy in the slightest. We told them we had a couple other meetings and they were more than understanding. After the meetings, we decided to go with Becvar. It’s a family owned funeral home, and every single member of the family is kind, genuine, caring and accommodating. They showed the utmost respect to our mom, and gave her a service more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. Everything is clean! The coffee was great! There was plenty of parking and plenty of room inside for the service. They walked us through an incredibly difficult process with kindness and patience, and treated us like family. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Becvar and Son, for giving our mom the service she deserved.“

“The experience my Dad and I had with Prescious Embers was amazing. Mike and Mary were very kind and patient during this very hard time. They were always available to answer my questions at any time. Mike was kind enough to drive up to Rockford to drop off my brother's cremains. They are extraordinary people. They kept in touch with us during the entire process. They were so wonderful during a very hard time. And I am so very appreciative of that..“
“Barbara and Matt are amazing wonderful people that made our whole family feel so comfortable throughout the whole time . They make you feel like you are family! I wish I could give 100 plus stars on this review! Thank you both so very much for your kindness and sentiments .“
“Easier to drive into via the Roosevelt side, the Des Plains side may get you stuck. One of the most compact and beautiful cemeteries to visit. The office is on Harlem, but make sure to visit the other adjoining blocks on Greenberg Rd and 16th.“
“Just this month we used Lawn Funeral Home for the wake of my father in law. It is a funeral home we have used in the past and have always felt supported and welcome. For this recent visit it was my first time planning a funeral myself and I was met with warm- kind people each step of the way. From the first call coordinating picking him up. To the meeting scheduled the very next day to go over arrangements. Everything was explained in detail and we were given paper copies of everything. The staff was empathetic and made a difficult and confusing time be less stressful in the best way they could. When it came time to the wake- they did a great job on my father in law. We were worried he wouldn’t look like himself and he really did. Friends and family stated he looked as though he was just sleeping. They were great with communication between us and also the cemetery. They spoke to them and helped ensure everything would run smoothly the day of the burial. Shortly after the services we got the call that the death certificates were already back. Which told me they had a sense of urgency and filed the paperwork right away. Someone who specifically stands out is Keith. He was the person who talked us through everything- took our calls and was there until the very end. We are truly grateful for him & the wonderful staff we encountered .“
