I found this funeral home on Yelp and gave an initial call for cremation research. I spoke to the…read moreowner Daniel and asked general questions regarding process and price for my grandmother. 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 recently lost two of our beloved pets within a month of each other. Because of their mounting…read moremedical issues, I had been planning for their passing for a while. I did a lot of research, as well as speaking with both of our vets (North Shore Family Pet Hospital and Northshore Mobile Veterinary Services), and determined All Paws would most likely be who handled their final arrangements. They came highly recommended, having worked with both of our vets and helping several other neighbors. We're both really satisfied with that choice. When we had our cat humanely euthanize at the vet, after an aggressive mouth cancer was discovered, All Paws was contracted through the vet to take care of her remains. While bittersweet, we very much appreciate how well the cremains were presented, and in a timely fashion. Because they had done so well, we definitely trusted them when our dog's final days approached. Our dog passed away in our arms, ahead of her scheduled appointment, and All Paws opened early so we could deliver her ourselves. They were very helpful once we arrived, very professional, and also offered a lot of comfort and support as we grieved. When came back to pick her cremains up, we were - once again - very satisfied with at the job they did. All Paws did their jobs very well, and helped us out during very difficult times in our life. We're very appreciative of the work they did, and the kindness they provided. I would highly recommend them for other pet owners, when it comes time to prepare final arrangements, based on the service we received.

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.
