Lisa made the entire process much more comforting and manageable. She treated my aunt's wishes with kindness and respect, making sure every detail reflected exactly what she wanted. Lisa was extremely patient and took the time to answer all of our questions without ever making us feel rushed. The website was also very user-friendly and allowed us to easily navigate through the different options to create what we envisioned. Lisa had such attention to detail and was very timely and efficient throughout the ordering process. Being able to preview the design gave us peace of mind in making our finial decision. The final stone turned out beautifully and looked exactly as expected once it was installed. It is a wonderful tribute to my aunt, and I truly appreciate the care and professionalism we received from Lisa at Peter Troost Monument. I would absolutely recommend them!

I was responsible for planning my dad's end of life services 6 months prior to that fateful day. Lisa at Peter Troost - Palatine designed the monument in a step-by-step process, got my approval before moving forward along the way. After the job was completed she got another approval from me, and then installed the monument at the interment site with the reassurance that when the time comes she would have engravers come to the site and engrave the end date on the monument. I am thoroughly pleased with how professional and considerate Peter Troost was to me. I would recommend Lisa at Peter Troost to anyone who required their service. They would not be disappointed.

I cant thank Michaels Funeral Home (Michael, Stephanie, Mark) enough for the compassion and…read moreprofessionalism they showed while helping me plan my moms funeral. From the very first phone call they were kind, patient and attentive to every detail. Losing mom was incredibly difficult but their support made a hard time just a little bit easier to bear. They guided me through every step with care and clarity never making me feel rushed even though I called pretty much daily and asked a lot of questions. The service was beautiful and exactly what mom would have wanted :(. The funeral home is warm, clean and very open. Also the fact we had the entire space to ourselves was very meaningful. Thank you for all your help and helping us honor her memory with such grace and respect. I highly recommend Michaels funeral home which was recommended to me by a friend.

The pre-planning process was easy; unfortunately, decisions made during that process weren't communicated clearly between Michaels' staff members when the arrangements were finalized. When Michael was present, he was professional and respectful. Not having the funeral director immediately available throughout the visitation was unexpected. Though there were a couple negatives, our overall experience was good. Their prices are very competitive and they don't apply pressure to make more expensive choices during a challenging time. Most importantly, they made my mom look better than she had in years, after an extended illness. We are grateful for the gift of seeing a very beautiful mom/grandma/aunt/friend for the last time.

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.

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.

We were at our neighbor's home that evening and thru the entire process with Neptune .... they are very understanding and compassionate! The online information they provide is outstanding & comprehensive plus the representative who visited was excellent. Obviously, we purchased our creamation services from them and are very happy they have world-wide coverage because we do travel quite a bit. At the memorial service yesterday for our friend, Neptune assisted with the Honor Guard, which was extremely moving for everyone. If you are interested in creamation services or need more information, we highly recommend speaking with them because we've seen them in action and they are excellent! I also went with my friend to collect her husband's ashes & the flag... they were more than compassionate, helpful and loving.

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.
