Funeral Homes near Plainfield, IL

“We cannot adequately express how wonderful Stephanie, David, and Overman-Jones were when our mom recently passed away. Stephanie sat with my sister and I just two hours after getting the heartbreaking call that Mom had passed. She was so incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely compassionate as she gently guided us through the decisions and steps necessary to make the arrangements. She listened, suggested, and worked to plan a beautiful service that was exactly what our mom wanted. It was indeed perfect! And David showed the utmost respect and kindness as he escorted our mom to Overman-Jones later that morning.
My sister and I sincerely thank them both. They are very special people who have answered a special calling. We will not hesitate to recommend Overman-Jones Funeral Home and Cremation Services.”

“Jim Farkas provided exceptional and compassionate care during the most difficult week of our lives. Our family was so grateful for the professional and flawless service this funeral home provided. We highly recommend them to everyone.”

“Our family cannot say enough about the care, kindness and flexibility from the Friedrich-Jones staff and especially Stephanie and Jacqueline. The Celebration of Life tribute boards, hobbies showcased, and the service in the deceased own words was a bit non-traditional but the team was supportive and fantastic in helping the family develop a truly special sendoff. Our expectation were truly exceeded.”

“These guys are fantastic! Very reasonably priced for a private pet cremation. If you want to be sure, spend the extra $30 to view your pet going in. Clean lovely facilities and I had no worries that I was getting anything other than my own pet's ashes back.
Staff is also caring and compassionate.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”

“We worked with Fred C. Dames Funeral Home twice—first in 2021 when my father-in-law passed away during COVID, and again last month when my mother-in-law passed. Both experiences were truly exceptional, and we are deeply grateful for the care, professionalism, and compassion they showed our family.

The staff paid close attention to every detail and confirmed everything with us multiple times to ensure our wishes were fully respected. They went above and beyond to accommodate all of our requests. The floral arrangements were absolutely beautiful—exactly like the photos in their catalog, if not even more stunning in person.

We also used their large screen to display photos and memories from my mother-in-law’s life. This allowed everyone who attended to better understand and celebrate her story, and it meant a lot to us.

I want to especially recognize Allison. She is incredibly gentle, caring, and kind. Throughout the entire process, we could feel her genuine compassion. After the cremation, it took us about three weeks to find a suitable cemetery. During that time, Allison personally helped deliver the urn to the cemetery and volunteered her time to help arrange everything for the interment. Her support truly made a difficult time so much easier for our family.

The funeral home also keeps very clear and organized records. All of the documents from both my father-in-law and mother-in-law were properly stored, which made everything smooth and stress-free.

Lastly, I want to mention the excellent acoustics in their chapel. We sang hymns without microphones or speakers, yet the sound carried beautifully all the way to the back row. It created a peaceful and dignified atmosphere for the service.

When a loved one passes, you want to give them the most respectful and meaningful farewell possible. Fred C. Dames Funeral Home provided exactly that. Their thoughtful service warmed our hearts during a very difficult time, and we are truly thankful.

I highly recommend them to any family seeking a funeral home that offers professionalism, compassion, and exceptional care.”

“I am deeply grateful to the Dunn Family Funeral Home, especially David, for their exceptional support during a very challenging time. David was incredibly patient with us and addressed all of our inquiries thoroughly. He ensured that every detail was handled perfectly and that nothing was done against our wishes. The service provided was outstanding, and the funeral home was impeccably decorated. Thank you.”
