Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Elmwood Park

“There are no words to express the gratitude i have for Mike Romaniski, and Elm funeral home. My 99 and a half year old World War II vet father passed away at home with us in Charlotte NC. We had a pre-planned prepaid contract with a funeral home here and they completely messed up and did not fulfill anything completely disrespecting my father and family. When I say Mike stepped up in a big way is an understatement. He got things done and got my father the honours he deserves, and me and my family peace. Thank you Mike at Elm Funeral Home. You are an amazing and compassionate soul“

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.

“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!

“I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation for Phillip Hernandez. He is truly one of the kindest, most helpful, and caring individuals I have ever met. Throughout a difficult time for my family, Phillip consistently put us at ease, offering unwavering support and understanding whenever we reached out—day or night.
His patience and compassion are qualities I deeply admire. I can honestly say I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my funeral needs. Phillip’s dedication and kindness have made a lasting impression on us, and I am immensely grateful.
Thanks to him, we feel confident and at peace knowing that our future funeral arrangements are in good hands. I am optimistic about the support we will receive from Montclair-Lucania Funeral Home because of Phillip’s exceptional care.“

“We’re wanted to express our deepest gratitude in the beautiful service you provided in honoring my father during a most difficult time in our lives.
The extra care that Laura and your organization provided such as: thank you cards, USB drive, memorial candle, etc. was unexpected, but appreciated and cherished.
Again, we wanted to just let you know that during this time of immense grief, you and the others at Drake and Sons have made this process very comforting in knowing my father received the honor he so deserved.“

“Our family entrusted the fine owners at Ryan Parke for the wake & funeral services for our late mother earlier this year and came away impressed with every aspect of the arrangements. We were debating between a few other recommended funeral homes in the Park Ridge area, but the close working relationship (and proximity) that Ryan Parke has with St Paul of the Cross church is what sealed our decision. The facility is charming; the staff were attentive and detail oriented on wake & funeral days; and every single piece of feedback from family & friends after the services were nothing but glowing about how our late mother was handled with dignity.

Nothing but 5 star compliments to Rocco & Bob for such amazing service during one of the coldest days of this past winter. Will be recommending them to anyone who needs funeral & wake services in the area. Nothing but the best!“

“I had a truly positive experience with Geils Funeral Home in Bensenville during such a difficult time. The staff was incredibly communicative from start to finish, always keeping me informed and answering any questions I had with patience and care.

They made what could have been a very overwhelming process feel simple and manageable. Their kindness, professionalism, and understanding meant so much to me and my family. Everything was handled smoothly, and I always felt supported throughout.

I’m very grateful for the way they took care of my father and for the compassion they showed us. I honestly wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.“

“I highly recommend this funeral home. They are so kind and sweet to their guests. They took their time to help me on the phone and in person. They made sure everything was on time for the funeral, viewing etc, they also checked on my family and I a few weeks after my mother's burial. I felt at peace using this place. Thank you so much for every thing.“

“I don’t know where to begin with my praise and heartfelt appreciation for Frank, Debbie, and Nina. I lost my wife Lisa of 23 years to cancer. From the moment I walked in to make arrangements I felt compassion, sympathy, and determination to make my heartbreaking situation a little less devastating. Every single detail of the wake and funeral arrangements was done with class , professionalism , dignity, and genuine care for me and my family. They are absolutely the best at what they do , by far. Thank you for all your help in the absolute saddest time of my life❤️.-Matt Mathey“

“We cannot say enough about how grateful we are for Stan and the care he provided at Suburban Funeral Home. Stan has supported our family through the loss of both our mother and father, and we are so thankful we chose to work with him during such emotional times.

Stan handled absolutely everything with compassion, professionalism, and grace. His calm presence and kind demeanor brought us so much comfort. He made sure every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and we never once felt stressed or unsure—he was always there to guide us gently through the process.

My two sisters and I were deeply touched by the way Stan treated us and our parents. He truly went above and beyond, and made us feel like family. His dedication and personal attention made all the difference.

We wholeheartedly recommend Suburban Funeral Home to anyone in need of funeral services. Stan is a truly special person, and we will always be thankful for the care and comfort he gave our family.
