Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Darien

“I can't say enough about Modell funeral home, especially Andrew and his wife Christina. They helped our family with preplanning and when we accually needed to use their services they were right at our side to make sure our needs and wishes we met. Andrew got to know my family and listened to what was important to all of us. My husband owned a classic car and Andrew asked if we would like to park his car in front of the funeral home during visitatations. It was such a personl touch to honor him. They helped us through the whole process which gave me peace of mind during the painful process of buring your spouse.
It is one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do and I will be forever be grateful to Modell for making the process worry free for our family. They take care of everything you need and stayed in contact with me afterwards to make sure I was ok and help with anything I might still need.
Modell is a family owned business and treat their clients like family.
Thank you so much to the whole Modell team.
God Bless you all!

“I had a great experience working with Jessica at the cemetery office. She was very helpful and supportive in assisting me with replacing the vase of my mom’s monument. I truly appreciate her kindness and professionalism during a difficult time. Thank you, Jessica.“

“When my husband suddenly died, I contacted the Neptune Society with whom he had pre purchased a cremation package. Christopher Tavonatti immediately returned my call and very kindly helped me make all the legal and personal arrangements required under Illinois law. I wholeheartedly recommend that everyone purchase a package with the Neptune Society as it makes dealing with the death of a loved one so much easier.“

“We cannot praise Cappetta’s West Suburban Funeral House enough for their help with our mother’s funeral. Both Tony and Anthony were kind and helpful. During the pre-planning step in January, Tony provided all the information we needed and answered all our questions without being intrusive. He even helped us with life insurance policy phone calls. When Mom passed away in May, they guided us through last minute planning and made a difficult time much easier. The communication with the cemetery was also seamless.

The setup at the Downers Grove facility is excellent. The chapel is on one side of the building and only a single family is hosted. We mourned our mother privately and the short service was lovely. The minister recommended by Tony had a long talk with the family and his remarks were as if he really knew our mother personally. The flowers ordered through the funeral home were absolutely gorgeous.

Across the hall is a ‘rest’ or ‘cafe’ area where we were able to take a break when needed to and just visit with our friends and family. We had a catered lunch set up through Cappettas. The sandwiches, crudite, and dessert were excellent.“

“Ted and the entire team have been amazing. From the first phone call to start the planning process to the kind follow up phone call after all was completed. We were met with kindness, compassion and knowledge of what needs to be done to honor our Father. Our family highly recommends the Brust family.“

“I can't express enough my gratitude to Barbara and Matt for guiding me through this painful time.
God bless them for all their kindness and professionalism.“

“Helpful and caring professionals at most difficult time in life. They were extremely open and forth right when plans were made for our end of life arrangements. Excellent service, affordable packages. When my husband passed we were both treated with the utmost courtousy and respect.“

“I recently helped to plan services for a dear friend who passed. She has two young adult sons who were unsure of where to start. I called Hitzmans and set up a meeting. Chuck Hitzman met the boys and saw the unique dynamic. He quickly made the boys feel so relaxed as he explained each necessity, detail and option for the service. From that point on through to the day of the service, everything flowed and worked out beautifully, thanks to that initial meeting and support, as well as continued and easy communication with the funeral home, as we worked through each step. I can't thank Hitzmans enough for helping us all through this process. The day of the service was beautiful. Thank you!

“Seamless, Compassionate Care from Start to Finish

Funeral Home made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel truly seamless. From the very beginning, they guided our family every step of the way — from selecting the casket to all the preparations for the wake, funeral, and gravesite burial.

As a family-owned business, their personal touch truly shines through and speaks to the extra care, compassion, and attention we received throughout the entire process.

Eric Shoesmith and Beth Moscatello ensured that everything was in order at all times, and their calm, steady presence brought us great comfort. The entire team was incredibly attentive and handled every detail efficiently, from coordinating with the hospital through the gravesite service.

I was especially impressed by the thoughtful touches — the beautiful prayer cards, the memory photobook for signatures, and the care taken during the wake to ensure beverages and utensils were always replenished. Nadine and Erin were wonderful and so attentive throughout. The limousines throughout the funeral day were perfectly coordinated, making the day flow smoothly.

It was truly an easy process handled by a team that went above and beyond to make us feel supported and cared for during such a difficult time. Their warmth and professionalism made something so painful a much more manageable experience for our entire family.

We are deeply grateful for everything they did to honor my father.“

“Mark Hayes and staff are just the best in the most difficult time. They go above and beyond what someone would believe of normal. Thank you so much for being there!

I attended a wake today and the memories all came back.“

This is what we will remember. Thank you for making us feel that our loved one was important and mattered.Peace & Blessings,Mark & Serene“

“Excellence at its finest! The Impeccable customer service, professionalism, and care that my family received from Mr. Cannon and his team is unlike any I have seen. He went above and beyond for our family from the moment we met him. He was never without a helping hand, or comforting words. We could communicate with him at any time, and he met every request. His facility is very nice, spacious, clean, and private. When we needed information and didn’t have the answer, he got it for us. I thank God that we called this funeral home and met Mr. Cannon. He handled our grandmother and family with such love and care. Great service, greater people. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and God Bless you, your team, and the wonderful service you give to people.“

We had a plan already in place with Dignity and it, and Blake-Lamb made everything nice and easy during such a traumatic and sorrowful time. Even when some of our loved ones prepaid choices and options were outdated, they helped with exchanging them and providing upgrades. Very nice indeed.

“My experience in planning the wake for my husband and the service itself could not have been better. I was looking for a service with speakers, a one evening wake and a private burial. Ahlgrim had the perfect suggestions and experience. The staff is friendly, caring and competent and willing to work with you. I like it that there are women and men on the staff. All in all, an ideal experience at a difficult time. Hifghly recommended.“

“Prior to his passing, my father had chosen Leonard Memorial for arrangements and cremation services. When he passed, we had a very short timeline. Joel and Anna were awesome. Always followed up, always guiding us to the next steps, but also keeping a realistic perspective on timing and alternative options. Excellent service and empathy in the moment.“

“When my family faced the loss of my uncle, we were fortunate to have this funeral home guide us through the cremation process with grace and kindness. From the very first phone call, Dawn & Brian were attentive, patient, and deeply respectful of our wishes. They handled every detail with quiet professionalism, allowing us to focus on honoring his memory without added stress.
What stood out most was their genuine compassion. They didn’t treat us like just another client—they treated us like family. The atmosphere was peaceful, the staff were gentle and reassuring, and every step was explained with clarity and care. It’s rare to find a business that blends efficiency with such heartfelt service.
We are truly grateful for the way they honored my uncle and supported us during a difficult time. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking thoughtful, dignified care for their loved one“
