He had it all covered, up to and including having Jody Wojciechowski, spend the day with us making everything incredibly smooth.

I want to take this opportunity to personally thank the entire team at Colonial for all their support and love that they extended to my family.

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.

While the services for my dad ran smoothly and worked out well the experience that I had with my mom was so horrible that I'm currently consulting with law firms to file a lawsuit against CJF. Doug was the funeral director assigned and he was a master liar and manipulator. During an already horrible time he made things even worse. Now not to mention, because of him my personal safety is at risk. All of the staff I encountered at CJF treated me with such coldness and disrespect. I know there aren't many choices for funeral homes with a Jewish affiliation in the area, but I'd never again use Chicago Jewish Funerals after what happened to me.

Not only was the space and staff better than others I met with, they were also very reasonably priced. Abby was gracious, kind, and best of all, authentic throughout the entire process. I felt like I had a friend helping me through what is always a difficult process, and Abby and all of Kolssak's staff made it easy. I also received a lot of positive feedback from friends and family who attended the funeral. One last detail that you might not consider when selecting a funeral home - Kolssak is one of the only funeral homes in the area that has windows. It is a warm, open, inviting space that invites the sharing of happy memories as well as comfort for the grieving.
