Funeral Services And Cemeteries near Franklin Park

“Sometimes help can come from unexpected places.
Started with Illinois, Cook County Deaths, 1871-1998 for a 2-12-1977 death. It provided the cemetery and funeral home. Left two voice mails at the cemetery over a two-week period for grave location. No calls back. Did a search on the Archdiocese of Chicago website. No results. Phoned Archdiocese of Chicago. They searched; no results. Phoned the funeral home. Spoke with Mia who cautioned me because of the age of the record, she may not be able to confirm the cemetery. Mia phoned back. No results. I emailed her the IL Cook County Death record. She phoned the same cemetery I left two voicemails at. They told her they had no record of the burial. Mia assured me she'd continue to look. Within a few minutes, Mia phoned back with good news! Her manager, Timothy, accessed old burial records available online although not available to the public. He found the name and gravesite location at the cemetery that claimed they had no record of the burial.
Because of the great service provided by Mia and Timothy, I would be happy to recommend Sax-Tiedemann Funeral Home to family and friends.

“My wife had a stillbirth, a very traumatic and hard time we were in and in addition to this, we had to deal with with hospital bills and funeral costs. The hospital gave us a list of places to call that could help but to no avail, a friend told us to call Cumberland Chapels, we did and to my amazement they handled everything at zero cost. They were very professional and sympathetic. We are so grateful for their services.“

“The slideshow was the best. I brought in random pics of various sizes and they got all of them in. Photo albums, cards, pictures in frames and a few items were displayed well and accessible around the room. The flowers were better than expected. My mom looked good and was dressed as she was in life, right down to the perfume provided. Everything I brought as well as the funeral cards and death certificates were packed up neatly in the bags for pickup the next day.“

“Losing a loved one is never easy whether you know it’s coming or not. You know you will forever miss them, but what I didn’t think about was how much I would miss Monica and her entire team. These individuals became so near and dear to our hearts because they were there to assist my family during the darkest part of our lives. Monica is someone I will never forget. She gets it. She gets that your mind is all over the place and you might remember a detail super late at night or the wee hours of the morning. She never made me feel bad for reaching out when I needed to. It’s beyond refreshing to do business with someone that genuinely cares about what they do, no matter what business that is. Thank you Monica, Kelly, and everyone else behind the scenes. YOU will never be forgotten.“

“Firstly, I would like to say thank you to Ted for giving my family the best services we could have had for our dear sister Angel. From the initial phone call to meeting multiple times before she passed to the very end of service. Ted and his team at Brust Funeral Home gave us everything we needed and wanted for our sister. They took over the slide show so we didnt have to worry about putting somthing together for her while we navigated the whole process. Ted was extremely accommodating to all our wishes included but not limited to buddhist services, provided extra items needed like tables and chairs, even went as far as providing security at family's request. Every single detail that they could have possibly thought of they did and I would have never imagined that a funeral home and their staff can provide so much comfort during such a hard time for our family. Ted you are living up to your family's legacy and I am very happy we chose this beatiful funeral home for my sisters last send off. Thank you and I highly recommend any families who have to deal with such losses really consider Brust Funeral home. They will go above and beyond to make sure every last wish you have is met.“

“Hitzeman Funeral Home treated us like family. All of the details were explained to us in simple terms, selections were easy to make because of how everything was presented. The coordination of the church, and cemetery were seamless, all of which made the day so much more bearable.

“We recently said goodbye to my brother. Can't say enough how compassionate and professional Rocco and the entire staff are. They truly made this difficult time as best as it could be. From the planning, to the wake and the funeral it was a wonderful celebration and everything was perfect. Thank you.“

“Both my parents pre-planned/purchased 15+ years ago. Everything was done as expected & they even upgraded the service bulletin, guest book, thank you notes & bookmarks. They even videoed the service & put a link from the obituary when some of our relatives couldn't make it due to severe weather. Joshua & team did an outstanding job!“

“I held both of my parents’ services here. John and his team are extremely In tune with the needs of a grieving family. My mom had to be transported to Ecuador and John’s team handled all the paperwork, translations and seals that were needed. When we knew my dads passing was inevitable I reached out to let them know I, again, would be needing their assistance. The receptionist asked if I was at the hospital alone and I said yes and she said “I’m going to find someone to cover so I can come sit with you.” The attention is first class, the location and place are perfect and the people are service oriented.

As an only child, I will forever be grateful to Peterson-Bassi services for helping me say goodbye to my parents.

Thank you John.“

“I can’t say enough about how well cared for we felt by Phillip and the wonderful team at Montclair-Lucania. No one wants to plan a funeral, but they made the process stress-free and added thoughtful touches that made the service truly special. The banquet-hall style room suited my father so much more than a traditional space, and the catering area, and overflow spaces gave our family room to gather comfortably. A beautiful slideshow, table for family photos and artifacts, and a Bluetooth speaker for my dad’s favorite songs turned the atmosphere into more of a celebration of life than a somber occasion.

The team’s attention to detail was amazing, from providing wheelchairs and walkers when needed, to coordinating everything seamlessly on the day of. The building itself is lovely, with ample parking, so it was very easy for our guests.

Most of all, Phillip’s professionalism and kindness stood out, even as he took my family’s offbeat humor in stride during such a difficult time. I would choose Montclair-Lucania and Phillip again without hesitation. Thank you for making such a hard moment feel easier, and for honoring my father so beautifully.“

“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.

“​My family and I can't say enough about the incredible service we received from Smith-Corcoran Funeral Home for my mother's funeral yesterday. From our first phone call with Karen to our initial meeting with Jay Smith, the funeral director, we knew we were in good hands. Jay took the time to get to know my family and learn about my mother, explaining every step of the process with clarity and compassion. The professionally printed documents he provided were a huge help during a difficult time.
​The entire staff was outstanding. During the wake, Eric and Judy were so engaging, sympathetic, and helpful. The facility itself was inviting and spotless. On the day of the funeral, Jay's patience and leadership were exemplary, from guiding the caravan to ensuring every detail was perfect. It was clear that for Jay and the entire team, this isn't just a job—they genuinely care. Kirstin, Raul, and the rest of the staff all showed the same high level of customer service.
​Smith-Corcoran made a very sad day bearable. We are so grateful for their professionalism and empathy, and we know my mother would have been extremely proud of how beautifully everything was handled. Thank you, Jay, Karen, Kirstin, Eric, Judy, Raul, and the entire wonderful team at Smith-Corcoran.“

They operate with class and dignity and take very seriously every detail that the family feels is important. I cannot say enough about Scott and Gianna who handled both of my parents. I highly recommend Belmont Funeral Home to help make a difficult time go much smoother and give a sense that they will take care of everything.“
