Recently my husband, myself along with our dog decided to attend a covered bridge fall festival…read morewhich took place out of state. Prior to leaving our hotel room my husband decided to take our dog for a brief walk outside our hotel room. The next thing I heard was a loud banging on my hotel room door. Upon opening it there stood three police officers and two other gentlemen who turned out to be a minister and county coroner. After lengthy questioning, they finally told me that my husband collapsed in the parking lot and died immediately. Needless to say, I was in total shock and since I know the staff my thoughts immediately turned to calling Dave at Palos Gaidas Funeral Home. He was wonderful, kind, compassionate and assured me not to worry since he would be taking care of absolutely everything from up here which he did. My family and myself are eternally grateful to Dave and staff for getting us through an extremely painful and difficult situation. They are the best. G. Bell

Of all the places I called, I'm so glad we went with them. Joe was incredibly compassionate and answered our phone calls anytime we had questions. He opened shop early one morning for us. Dorothy also communicated clearly with me and she worked hard to make sure we got the paperwork we needed in a timely fashion. They were quick, efficient, and affordable. My mom was too distressed to go pick up the cremains, so we were able to send a family friend instead (We gave them a heads up and it was no trouble).

This review is based on Schmaedeke's attached tribute flower business on the website…read more For starters, they show you pictures of their premium version bouquets with the prices of their standard version of the bouquet attached. When you click the picture to select that bouquet, then you see that what you originally thought you were getting is now $20-$40 more than the listed price. Then when you select a bouquet and input all your information, at the very end of the transaction when you are about to confirm, they tack on a $19.95 service fee that is not mentioned anywhere else before then to supposedly help the staff get your flowers to the correct destination. These are such shady tricks to pull on grieving people. Their practices seem unbelievably predatory and put me off trusting them for anything.

Great Funeral Home that I recently visited. Last time I was here it was over 10 years ago. The…read moreservice provided here for a friend of mine that recently passed away was above and beyond. Great levels of hospitality and it is a warm, inviting environment. What I do recommend that I think is the major issue here is that if you know that the person has a large family please carpool over here because parking is limited and I had to see people park half a mile away or across the street to make their way into the funeral home.

Losing someone you love is never easy, but the way they guided us through every step brought comfort when we needed it most. From the very first conversation, Bogdan Gal treated us not just as clients, but as family. His kindness, patience, and genuine empathy meant more than words can express. He handled every detail of the arrangements for Joanna Bednarz's funeral with the utmost dignity and respect. The service was truly beautiful -- thoughtful, elegant, and perfectly reflective of Joanna's life and spirit. Bogdan's steady guidance helped us feel supported and reassured through every decision. We are also deeply thankful to Renia, whose warmth and understanding comforted us from the moment we walked through the doors. She was incredibly organized, responsive, and gentle in every interaction, making a painful process feel a little less overwhelming. A heartfelt thank you as well to Donna and the entire staff. Every single person we encountered showed compassion, professionalism, and sincere care. Their attention to detail and quiet support during the service did not go unnoticed. They created an atmosphere of peace and respect that allowed our family to grieve, remember, and honor Joanna in the most meaningful way. In a time filled with sorrow, Damar-Kaminski Funeral Home & Crematorium provided light, comfort, and dignity. We will never forget the beautiful service they created for Joanna or the compassion they showed our family. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us say goodbye with love and grace. May God Bless you all, Bednarz Family

He decided to purchase a 3-bedroom, 2 bath home in the all-White suburbs of Arlington Heights - 100% so that my my little brother and I could have a backyard with a children's swing set in the 70s Point being, my mother, who physically beat us with a wooden spoon DAILY... I would never assault a dog physically or verbally... why the fxck would any human assault physically a 2-year old????!!!! She hated my MD Dad and her children So when my my Dr. MD Dad suddenly dropped dead in in 2014 - my local Illinois Cremation Center was there primarily there for my husband to follow a traditional Hindu cremation (imagine a simplified ved version of happy comedic Dr. Kuttners (if you ever watched House, perhaps the last amazing TV show sans Cable);self-inflicted gunshot suicide When Dad dropped dead, he had handwritten instructions on what to do with his ashes Well Uma still keeps HIM in his now-bedroom in his closet with the door to the room permanently closed Via my husband, while I was still "comatose" and eliminated on my my bed on three layers of "puppy training pads" ICC offered my husband to pray to witness all of it, although his best offer was to purchase a simple wooden wood box and an "expensive but cheap" bamboo container They in addition to cremation - trust ME THIS SINGULAR TIME PLEASE - Order #1M Death Certificates with ease (needed for cancelation of every single thing in his name (home, utilities, credit cards, phone accounts (lol the landline) cell, etc etc etc.. Uma regularly ays her victim card with his passing, she is an 80+ authentic Yoga instructor and daily I hope that I die prior to her Uma's body can finally rot in her finally her her own house that my Dad paid for when he was a very poor MD student and his only "job" was as a pre-MD student teacher Uma does not deserve Illinois Cremation Center so respect and care of anyone would has passed and especially their kindness of families going through the ordeal My husband is big and tall White guy As I understand it, we both require at least the same size container.
