“Meadows Funeral Home was recommended to me by a family friend after an unexpected death in the family. The family is currently on the West Coast and the memorial would be in the Chicago suburbs. Melissa Nelson was patient and compassionate as I called for information regarding a death half way across the country. She provided details on what Meadows could provide and also offered alternative solutions for us which wouldn’t even result in revenue for her. To me, this is a sign of a true professional looking out for the best interests of the client. She also made any expenses that might be incurred very clear as she understands that many times families aren’t prepared for the expense. Ultimately, due to size constraints, we were unable to use Meadows, but I absolutely recommend Meadows Funeral Home and Melissa.“
“My mom passed away sooner than we wanted in March 2024. After looking at a few funeral homes, we we had a recommendation from a friend to use Glueckert. We decided to have 1 1/2 hours visitation, prayer and then procession to the church for the funeral mass. I can’t say enough about how kind and professional everyone was. The room looked beautiful and the picture of my mom in front of the casket was lovely. I could not have asked for a better experience on such a very hard day. I would use Glueckert Funeral Home again in a heartbeat.“
“We are very happy with the outstanding service provided by Davenport Family Funeral Home for our mom’s funeral. We would specifically like to recognize Jennifer Valentine and Peggy Woods at the Barrington location. Jennifer expertly guided us through the process and made sure every single detail was taken care of despite a very short window to make the arrangements (3 days). Peggy made sure that everything was seamless and ran smoothly the day of the funeral. Both of them were exceptionally professional, kind, and compassionate throughout. We credit Davenport for making an extremely overwhelming process as easy as it could be under the circumstances. Even though we only had a few days to make all of the arrangements, the funeral was perfect in every way thanks to Jennifer, Peggy, and the entire Davenport team. We truly felt taken care of from the minute we first contacted Davenport until the end of the funeral service. They coordinated everything with the church and the cemetery and gently guided us and our guests where to go and when the day of the funeral so we did not have to worry about a thing. The Davenport team then arranged to deliver the flowers to our home the next day, drove to our house in a snowstorm, and even shoveled our steps! This is just one example of the many times that we noticed the Davenport team going above and beyond. We highly recommend Davenport Family Funeral Home not only for its comprehensive service and transparent pricing but also for the exceptional care and compassion the Davenport team provided to us during such a difficult time.“
“I worked with Lisa at the Palatine location. As anyone who has needed these services knows this is a difficult step in the process.

Dave was incredibly understanding and guided us through every step, ensuring our wishes were respected. His calm demeanor and clear communication brought us comfort and reassurance.

“Would like to thank Stacy and all those involved with the great work they did for my mother’s funeral. They took care and walked us through the whole process the entire way.

“Collette has assisted our family on more than one occasion, sadly. Each time she has been kind, compassionate and empathetic. Highly recommend her services.“
“Our family cannot say enough about Smith-Corcoran. This past month, we said goodbye to a third family member whose funeral was arranged with them. It is a family business, through and through. They treated all of us, including the deceased, with warmth and the utmost respect. They take care of all the details, big and small. They jumped in to fold funeral programs that we had printed privately. They handle everything with care and ease and we cannot recommend them highly enough. We will be forever grateful for how well they have taken care of our loved ones thorough the years.“
“Geils Funeral Home has always been a light for us in a time of darkness. I held services for my mother 13 years ago and recently, my father. Everything was perfect and the staff was so accommodating and professional.“

“The Davenport funeral home at Lake Zürich did a fantastic job with my father’s cremation service. They were very compassionate and incredibly accommodative of our Hindu (Vaishnavite) traditions. I was stunned at how well they had dressed my dad in traditional attire (panchakacham) based on a YouTube video we have provided them. Thank you ?“
“Jason Seward assisted our family in both (1) preplanning of my parents' funerals and (2) handled the recent funeral for our father. Jason is outstanding. He is very knowledgeable, considerate, compassionate and kind. He handled every detail flawlessly and made a very difficult and emotional time for our family bearable.“
“I've worked with Geils more than I would of like too. Jennifer Sanchez helped us the last two times and she is amazing! She helped us though the process and was very patient and understanding.“
“I can highly recommend Lauterburg-Oehler for preserving the dignity and memory of your dearly departed loved ones. They are respectful, compassionate, knowledgeable and professional and they make this process as seamless as possible. A big thank you to Julie, Melanie and Matt for all your help and support. Your kindness and encouragement got me through the hardest time of my life.“
“I live in Mount Prospect, I have been to many wakes, memorials, and funerals at Friedrichs. Recently we had to actually host our own family memorial service. It’s a very stressful and sad time. The team at Friedrichs took care of our every need with great care, which really helped with the grieving process. Knowing we were in good hands left us to mourn with family and friends while all details were taken care of. We could not have been more pleased with everything.
We know when needed Friedrichs will be there for us, right in our town.
Thank you Friedrichs!“
“Fantastically professional and competent while handling the services for multiple family members. I have such respect for this business.“

“Had the pleasure of dealing with Tina at Memory Gardens. She was well informed, professional and very kind. The whole experience was comfortable and efficient. Can't say enough about the service and care we received. Thank you!!“
“Recently visited this location to pay my respect to the one and only Harold Ramis, Ghostbuster. I grew up watching HR on the big screen. Location was very well maintained and clean. Highly recommended!“
“In my grief I could not ask for a better funeral home to guide me through some very hard decisions. Andrea, who had patience and kindness made things much easier than I expected. The staff at The Oak Funeral Home are all courteous professional people. We had a viewing at the Church and a Mass to follow with a private burial. From start to finish they were there guiding us and handling everything. I highly recommend this funeral home and their staff for any of your loved ones.“
“My mom purchased Neptune Society's services back in the 90s. When she recently passed, we notified them not knowing what to expect. Cheryl Martin took wonderful care of us, explaining what was happening, how long it would take, and what to ask the cemetery, as we prepared to have mom's ashes buried on my dad's gravesite. Her kindness and compassion helped so much during this difficult time.“
