A member of our extended family had passed away, and this was the cemetery chosen by the family for her final resting place. The facility had all that the family needed for a respectful and dignified service, starting with the little chapel near the entrance for the final blessing.

When I went back to check, the area over my recently deceased mother's grave was covered in weeds and no sod. But the tombstone had reappeared.

Must be my period for ghoulish reviews, but we had reason to be out here at Good Shepherd Cemetery…read moreand were very impressed. Good Shepherd is a relatively new Catholic cemetery...about 12 years old...and one of dozens located in the greater Chicago Archdiocese. When your family has need for these services, Good Shepherd is a wonderful place to utilize. They have arrangements for in-ground burial in select gravesites (with lawn level markers or upright monuments), or above-ground accommodations in their garden mausoleum crypts (which come in singles and doubles). The grounds are spectacular and very welcoming for visiting your loved ones. Good Shepherd, like the other Catholic cemeteries, also provides packages so you can have everything prepared for the future...this takes a lot of the pressure off those you leave behind. Any way you handle your affairs, Good Shepherd can work with you on all the arrangements, either before you need them or at the time of need. We were very impressed with the grounds, options, and the staff in the office.

I needed to have my parents ashes separated so me and my siblings could each have some. I called…read morethem on my way out of town and ask if they could separate them (and I asked them ship them to me). The very pleasant woman on the other side said "come on by." On the way to the airport, I stopped at the funeral home. She asked if they had done my parents' funerals. I was a bit embarrassed and said "no, but they lived around the corner." After explaining what I wanted, she quickly separated the ashes into three containers and brought them back to me. I asked her what was the charge. She said "No charge. Happy to do it." I was blown away. I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting (a few $100 dollars maybe) but I wasn't expecting it for free. And that was it. I am so grateful to the kind people at Kish and if I sadly had another service to plan in the area, I would absolutely use them.

My loved one has been entombed and her memorial plaque installed on her crypt, I can tell you with…read moreall my heart, I would never recommend Kish Funeral Home to anyone ever again. I waited until every detail was complete to safely speak my mind. I strongly felt my trust was violated. Comments were made to me during the meeting that were unwarranted and left me confused as to why they were even said to me while making funeral arrangements. My one brief encounter with the owner of the funeral home was when he came in the room as we were placing flowers around the casket and I said everything looks good. The owner of Kish Funeral Home exclaimed "this isn't our first time at the rodeo." I found this to be a very insensitive and crass comment to make in light of the loss and grief we were feeling. No signs of empathy or a genuine handshake from a business man who owns a prominent funeral home in town. I was told that our funeral was the worst they have had in the 10 years they were in business. I was shocked that this was stated to me because I did not encounter any incident or cause any problems for the funeral home or their representatives, but when I questioned the remark 3 times, they refused to answer or apologize. During this very sensitive time, I found this comment insulting and injurious to my good character. Funeral homes should never advocate for familial unity when there was none prior to the passing of the decedent. Funeral homes shouldn't pass judgement, exhibit favoritism or discriminate based on status or title even though the deceased resided in the Cobblestones. Mourners certainly will take note of bossy and rude representatives of Kish Funeral Home during the wake and tell me later how they felt. Once your funeral is a sure thing, their next goal is securing the next wake. You can get everything right but if you violate a family's trust by overstepping your place and bounds, you lose everything. Trust is everything to a family when selecting a funeral home. Unfortunately, it is not easy to grab your deceased loved one and walk out the front door once arrangements have been made. Kish Funeral Home lost on all counts.
