Funeral Homes near Berwyn, IL

“I held both of my parents’ services here. John and his team are extremely In tune with the needs of a grieving family. My mom had to be transported to Ecuador and John’s team handled all the paperwork, translations and seals that were needed. When we knew my dads passing was inevitable I reached out to let them know I, again, would be needing their assistance. The receptionist asked if I was at the hospital alone and I said yes and she said “I’m going to find someone to cover so I can come sit with you.” The attention is first class, the location and place are perfect and the people are service oriented.

As an only child, I will forever be grateful to Peterson-Bassi services for helping me say goodbye to my parents.

Thank you John.”

“I accompanied my sister to this family-run business when she needed to make arrangements for her husband a few years ago. When my mother recently died, I felt Michalik Funeral Home would be right for her service and burial. Because of the timing of her death, between Christmas and New Year, as we tried to begin the church plans on our own there were just messages to be returned from the church director, but as we walked in to prepare the details at Michalik, we found Josh, funeral director had already been working behind the scenes to hold a date and time for us with my mother’s church, made phone calls immediately to work out complications before we were even finished with the consultation (church service in Chicago, burial in St. Louis). Delphine and Josh are absolute professionals with many years in this business. I highly recommend choosing Michalik’s if you want to make sure all details are covered and the service is seamless in implementation. My mother’s service was beautiful and we as mourners were lead through our parts by a sympathetic and dignified owner and director.”

“Very grateful to them, when I started looking for funeral homes for my grandfather's service I made several calls and I did not feel as understood as I did with this funeral home, they are truly very understanding and worth every penny for the service we received with my family.”

“The Funeral Directors at The Ridge Funeral Home were very helpful and the process of making all the arrangements went smoothly. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I'm very thankful to everyone for the help and planning that made everything look great.”

“Frank and staff have the job of working people in the worst times of their lives. They are professional, kind, patient, and willing to do anything to please. I cannot say enough good things about them.”

“I cannot recommend Smith-Corcoran highly enough. I had a distant cousin pass away with no nearer relative and only thirty days to collect her body from the Cook County Medical Examiner, but I live 200 miles away in another state. Eric and the staff here took care of collecting my relative's remains, kept in constant and easy communication about all issues, walking me through the bureaucratic issues, and even came in early when I made the trip to Chicago to pick up her ashes on my way to a morning probate court appointment. I only wish the legal process were as smooth and pleasant as Smith-Corcoran made the mortuary arrangements. I would give six stars if I could.”

“In one of the hardest moments of our lives, Jonathan, Hilda and the staff at Szykowny Funeral Home were an absolute blessing. They handled our dad's services with grace and attention. From the moment we made contact they were supportive, patient and empathetic. They walked us through the whole process making sure we felt guided and cared for. We received so many compliments on the services and the flower arrangements. It all ran as smoothly as possible thanks to their kindness and professionalism.”

“We recently had a service at Casey and Rios and was amazed at the efficiency and professionalism of the funeral home. They were accommodating to our requests and presented their options in a very deliberate manner. The day of the service, we were able to make use of their small but functional kitchen. The guests were quite comfortable with the seating, as their big room had lots of space for the guests. We also opted for a funeral mass, which they also guided us through. The motorcade was very organized and we were given instructions on how to proceed to the cemetery. Overall 5/5 service and could not ask for a better experience.”

“Mark, son and staff (I wished I would have written down your names) my family and I are beyond grateful for the service we received from your funeral home. From the moment we came to you until the burial, your kindness and gentleness was felt.
You saved me from a last minute casket spray request and when I thought that was the most oustanding demonstration of care, you made my little 7yr old niece and everyone present smile, when we saw the SPARKLING Pink cover! My niece was happy her Mommy was getting somwthing pink and sparkly, her favorite.

During these sad moments you added joy as we placed our loved one to rest. Thank you.”

“The staff, services, and professionalism is awesome. They made sure my husband was laid to rest in a peaceful and honorable manner. The staff made sure that everything was handed and they helped relieve a lot of pressure off of my family and allowed us time to grieve. I give a special praise for Vaida who is exceptional with what she does. She ensure a peaceful transition and it was as such. I would like to thank them again!”

“I have to say, I've been to many funerals, but the one I attended for my Aunt last week was outstanding! Golden Gate had a beautiful setting with 2 candles with my Aunts picture them, a blanket and the bow of the directors at the closing of the casket was so respectful and professional! I had NEVER seen that!!! Everyone talked about your service!!!! From the Ushers to the Pastor and my family!!! They had not heard about Golden Gate but moving forward, we will be going to Golden Gate and referring people to your business! Keep up the great work!”

“I lost my darling wife to that demon, brain cancer last November. I had some experience with Smith & Thomas in the past and thought they delivered really good service. I received stellar service for my Honey. We had a slight delay in starting the wake service, but for what they presented to us was worth the wait. My Neicy looked like angel that day. Her makeup was flawless and the Chicago Bears theme that was definitely what she would have wanted to represent was completely on point! They were professional, friendly and most importantly, just what my family needed. I highly recommend their services if and when you have need of a top-shelf funeral services.”

“I’ve been lax in writing a review for the Lawrence Funeral Home. My beloved passed away a month ago.

Miles understood our feelings of grief. He offered comfort and support during a difficult time and genuinely listened and guided us through the process. He made everything effortless including drafting the obituary and making my Wayne look absolutely beautiful with his music playing and his motorcycles positioned outside.
Miles and Nicole at Lawrence Funeral Home are the people you want to properly and respectfully care for your loved ones.”

“If I can do 100 starts for them I would. Susan was so helpful to my family. She understands what we are going thru and she helped us all the way to the end. Everything she did for my mom’s funeral and now my dad’s was so great. I really appreciate it with my heart. Thank you Susan for helping people in the worst time they are going through ??”

“We would to extend our deep appreciation to the staff at Kolbus-May - they are a credit to the industry. Our funeral director, Eileen Baldeshwiler, was particularly patient, personable, and empathetic. She was always available and accommodating. We strongly and sincerely endorse Kolbus-May to those in their time of need.

The Family of Janice (Swieca) Rose”
