Very positive experience with Tom Eccles and the entire Memory Gardens staff…read more My mother passed in March of this year, and we elected to have her cremains buried next to my father, who was buried there back in 1972. As my mother's only surviving son, I haven't lived in suburban Chicago for over 30 years, but do recall my father being buried there many years ago. With little to go on, a call to Memory Gardens put me in touch with Tom Eccles, who could not have been more helpful. Tom was able to look-up my father's records and found the plot where he was buried, and advised my mother had purchased a plot next to his when he died. I made all the arrangements long distance with Tom, got all the paperwork signed and delivered via eMail. He was very helpful in the design of her headstone and had it ready at the grave site for the burial of her cremains last week. Given the passage of time, we had no contacts with the church we used to belong to, and Tom put me in touch with a local minister who delivered a nice, thoughtful graveside service for my mother, whom he had never met, and chose some very thoughtful words for his service based on her obituary. Pouring rain last Friday when we did the service, and Tom had arranged a tent graveside for my wife and I to be under for the service by Pastor Tom. Could not have been more pleased with the services of Tom Eccles and the Memory Gardens staff, all completed via eMail and a few telephone calls between us, over the course of 5 months, for the arrangements. And despite what others have written, we found the condition of the grounds at Memory Gardens very good. grass recently mowed and trees/shrubs nicely trimmed, despite the rainy conditions on the day of her burial. Highly recommend Memory Gardens as the final resting place for your loved ones, and in particular, Tom Eccles as our counselor throughout the process.

Thanks again. Brian was very very helpful and kind.

My father passed away last month and we chose Shalom Memorial for his funeral service and burial…read more While I have never had to choose a funeral home before, I don't think I could be more pleased with our experience. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Before his passing, we had an initial visit with Michael regarding plot selection and he was helpful with helping us pick the location that best met our needs. No pressure, just a friendly visit and discussion. After he passed, we then worked with Sherry and Arlene to purchase the plot, casket, vault, shroud, death certificates, etc. The cost was substantial, but I imagine it is likely in line with other Jewish cemeteries in the area. Included in the cost is perpetual care of the grounds so there are no additional fees down the road. The chapel for his service was very nice and all of the people working there that day were super friendly. They live streamed his service which many in my family used. They also provided the ability to download the service which I decided to do. Shalom Memorial received the death certificates a few days afterwards from the village and we picked them right away so we could begin sending them to those who needed them. I really can't think of anything that I didn't like or was disappointed in.

While this process is always difficult, it couldn't have been easier or more smooth. Tony was wonderful: caring, thoughtful, resourceful, patient, and quick. He moved us through the decision-making process easily, recommended a rabbi and a Shiva location, and made things happen. The services were beautiful and meaningful, and our pain was eased because there was no additional stress. Many thanks from the Sandler family.

Meadows Funeral Home was recommended to me by a family friend after an unexpected death in the…read morefamily. 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 mother unexpectedly passed away and our family had no idea where to start and did not know much about our options, processes, cost, etc. We did not want to get too overwhelmed, so we picked two area homes to visit and would make our decision afterwards. Jackie @ Smith-Corcoran was so wonderful and explained everything to us - answered all of our questions, explained every option available, etc. We felt completely at ease and knew that this would be the funeral home that we would choose. Every last detail was covered; her visitation was just how she would have wanted it and her funeral mass was lovely. All of the staff that we met were just as professional, compassionate and helpful.

But, NH Scott & Hanekamp truly went above and beyond to help my family say a proper goodbye to our loved one who passed unexpectedly. Prior to picking NH Scott, my family called and visited several other funeral homes in the area. From our very first interaction, it was clear that NH Scott was superior. During our initial meeting with Justyne, it was evident she was focused on making us comfortable and making sure we knew what to expect during each step of the process (as opposed to being more focused on the business or contractual aspects of the arrangements). This is why we chose NH Scott initially, and we couldn't be happier that we did. Our initial impression proved to be very accurate. Justyne and the other owners and employees, including Jon, continued to provide a high-level of customer service and emotional support throughout the entire process. They were always incredibly easy to reach any time we had a question or request, and continued to always respond with kindness and understanding.
