Daniel was extremely informative, courteous, and sensitive. We chose to move forward with Symonds Madison and the team was very kind and helpful. Jennifer at the front desk communicated throughout the process and responded quickly to emails. The location is easy to find, pretty on the outside and bigger than it looks on the inside. There is pretty of parking on the new paved lot. Although we did not have services at the home, the facilities were nice and the place looks like it's cared for with love.

They took care of my uncle's service and were completely accommodating. Not to mention that my uncle's appearance was so pleasant and peaceful. It was comforting for loved ones to see him in that way in hopes that his final moments were peaceful. Mr. Symonds is a true gem. His team was also very helpful when I asked for an attendance notice. Everything was absolutely breathtaking and they made it easy for my aunt to make a few payment arrangements if necessary. We couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out and I couldn't recommend this place more to anyone in need. I also appreciated the walk in announcement for my uncle. Everything was just very, very beautiful.

We are so grateful to have found O'Connor-Leetz Funeral Home. They have been absolutely amazing to…read moreour family, friends & loved ones! We have used their services twice now. First was a few years back with my grandmother, and unfortunately my mom passed away last week. We had her funeral at O'Connor-Leetz as well. It was so special! We couldn't ask for more. The location is an interesting historic home from 1886 and it is warm and welcoming. Old antique furnishing and historic architecture. My mom loved it when we did my grandmother's funeral so we knew that she would want her service here as well. Tom is amazing and so is all of his staff! They have really helped us through one of the most devastating and difficult times in our lives. We will forever be grateful to them. We highly recommend this place!!

This has to be the worst Funeral Home ever. From the outside it looks great but as soon as you…read morestep inside you are "greeted" by an overpowering smell of cat urine. The place is filthy and "old" inside and in old I am not referring to the architecture just the bad floors, walls and furniture. They advertise as "When family and price matter" but low prices should not mean substandard accomodations and people that are not sincere. The woman who handles the arrangements I assume she is the owner as she has the last name of the business comes across as cold and insincere and the funeral director looks like a handyman walking around the place. Very unprofessional the whole experience was so I luckily I found a terrific funeral home just down the street to handle my family service. If you care about your loved one do not go here.

Ben was the Funeral Director and he ran everything perfectly, very respectful and professional and directed everything the way we had envisioned. It was 5 star service through out with very nice people.

Just a couple of hours after my mother…read morepassed away the hospital was already putting pressure on us to provide the funeral home information. We called around to a few funeral homes and immediately ruled them out based on the first impression over the phone. Then we found Countryside. They really took care of us and walked us through this difficult process. They did an amazing job preparing our mother for the viewing. We had heavy hearts walking into the funeral home on the day of the wake bc we were afraid to see her. But to our relief she looked like our mom. She looked like the mother we all knew before she got sick. She looked peaceful. It helped make the rest of the day easier. The funeral home is well kept and comfortable. They cater to only one service at a time which is really nice. Plenty of parking. They also had a nice kitchenette for the family to use. I wanted to write this review as a way to say Thank you to Countryside for the time and effort that you put into making the whole process easier for us.

Showed us the many options, did all the necessary paperwork for us. We picked out a unique urn for my Dad. A clock. My brother and I got mini urns with his ashes and Mom the clock. 2023 - They again were very caring, patient and respectful, when my brother, Aunt and I requested their services now for Mom who had just passed away. Again showed us the many options, did all the necessary paperwork for us. Picked out that special urn for Mom. In addition we ordered blown glasses orbs that contain some of her ashes as part of the glass, no two are the same. We are waiting on the glass artist to complete them. We were told it takes a little time because of the uniqueness. Wonderful family owned business (multi generations) and support staff. Focused on making our loss as painless as humanly possible. Respectful, caring and patient.

First they were very professional and answered all of our questions, including showing us options for Cremation caskets, discussing how they handle Covid19 social distancing, and how the funeral experience would be. We included the option of streaming the Visitation and prayer due to the Covid19 regulations, which were posted on their site with a link we could share on Facebook. This allowed many who could not attend in person to say goodbye remotely. They include music that was in accordance of our religion and ensured that the ceremony was given the time to say goodbye. Lastly, we did a caravan to the crematory, where a last word was said. I'd like to take a moment to Thank everyone at Morizzo Funeral Home and would recommend them.

Called on a Saturday for appt and Dwayne very anxiously said no we have services all day. I said ok and tried to set up appt for Monday. He said he's way too busy and would call back end of week. He called Thursday afternoon late and I couldn't call until after work at 3 Friday. Got the same run around about appt for Saturday or even on the phone-- he said he would have to callback week to get appt. Got a message late on Thurs and called at 3pm the next day because I'm working. Was told by Dwayne I couldn't talk to anyone on Saturday and would cb next week--again won't set up an appt for next week today.. He then said are you wanting cremation. (I was thinking a showing then cremation) I said yes eventually Well he said then that can't even be done until after the person dies and it takes time - I said we are thinking about a showing first just not sure yet and want to discuss further. He said I should go somewhere that does cremation or call after my family dies and wouldn't expound what services they over. . We wanted the services and venue in our home town. This funeral home isn't interested in helping to plan especially since it wouldn't allow even a discussion about Services. I have talked and seen another place in a nearby town. Very friendly and accommodating. Saw me last Saturday and sat down with planning just was concerned about location so held off on my decisions . Not anymore--More important to work with people who are compassionate during such a stressful time!

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.

It fits what he would have liked, it's calm and peaceful. There's a tree nearby, many trees through out, but it's still close enough to the road where there's some hustle and bustle. When he was buried, the people who helped were kind and compassionate. There's many historical and beautiful gravestones and mausoleums too. It's just a nice calm final resting spot.
