Funeral Services And Cemeteries near Harvey

“From the very first call, Ms. Holt put my heart at ease and guided us through planning my mother’s homegoing with such care. She was patient, kind, and professional — even with our last-minute changes. And when we somehow forgot the casket spray, Ms. Holt graciously told us that she would get one for us on the house. My mother looked beautiful, and everything was handled with love and respect. The homegoing service was truly heartfelt. It was a pleasure doing business with W W Holt Funeral Home. I highly recommend“

I asked him his name and thanked him for his kind jester. His name is Donte.

“I'm convinced that Linda Kosary is on earth to help guid people through their hardest times with class and grace. My dad's funeral was in March 2023 ,and my sister and I were in total dispar. Linda help guid us through and make decisions like an angel on earth whould do. She help with evey detail, and went above and byond making sure that everything was perfect. She even help find us a table so we could set up a chess board for the wake. Chess was my dad's game, and he would have loved it. Especially since my son is an excellent player. And was the top player at Evergreen Park High-school at the time of his death. We did our own flowers, orchid plants that I still have blooming, and canna lilys were some of what we put out . Orchids were his favorite. She made sure we had everything we needed ,and even commented about how beautiful they were. And she commented about how we had things that he loved on all the tables of the room. We had his favorite book Tresure Island out , the Bible, some of his favorite quotes, and pictures of his favorite Jazz musicians, the steel mill that he worked at ,and his union jacket displayed. She commented many times about what an interesting man he must have been,and she was right. She made me feel the best when she told me that my obituary was so beautiful . That was touching to me ,because I took four hours to write it in the middle of the night one night, and I had hoped that it was honorable. If Linda thought so ,it must have been, because with all her years in this profession, she would know. She help me take my dad's favorite ring with me , and that ment a lot ,because I loved that ring for years ,and it was too difficult for me to take it from him. She made me feel good about that. It was just such a hard day. I would only recommend her to help with any funeral based on my wonderful experience at such a difficult time. I hope I don't have the need to see her again for a very long time. But if anyone is in need of her delicate services, her place is the classiest funeral parlor I have ever experienced ,and the only place I would send a loved one too in their time of need for such services. In 2017, one of my friends of many years passed ,and his wake was at Kosary. Knowing what I know now,I am glad this was where his parents had chosen to take him. That makes me feel comfort for his family who still misses him. This parlor is the very best in the entire area. And deserves the highest praise.“

“Our father passed away suddenly on Friday night. Both of my parents are parishioners of the Incarnation Catholic Church, which is few minutes down the street. Per word of mouth, Becvar & Son was recommended to our mother. We connected with the funeral home on Friday night, met Saturday 9AM. By 2PM on Saturday, all the logistics for the prayer cards, wake, flowers, obituary, cemetery logistics, picture presentation, along with video slideshow were completed. Dave provided quick and direct responses to all queries and concerns in regards to the items listed above. Dave was very flexible and patient with creating a wonderful obituary. Such a quick turnaround allowed our family to focus on creating a warm and detailed visual display during the wake. Especially since the funeral was planned for Tuesday, 4 days after death.

I think the most important part is the mortician. After our father passed away from cancer, our mother was concerned for open casket. When we visited our father during the wake, he looked warm, there was color in his skin, he looked like himself. As heartbreaking as it was, it was also amazing.

The wake was beautiful, our family was very pleased. We were given access before our entry time, and did not feel rushed to leave. It was a very family oriented environment.
On the the day of the funeral, each immediate family driver was given a # place card, 1 through 6, where our mom was in 1st car, etc... this allowed for smooth, and non-eventful procession.

After the funeral services were over, we were able to access the extra flowers for our dad's grave. While we were loading the flowers, Becvar & Son provided a bag where all the extra prayer card, sympathy cards, thank you card, sympathy booklet, along with a large cross that was hanging inside the coffin while it was open. Our mother was very happy with the items received.

Becvar & Son made our family feel welcome, they provided perfect atmosphere to sendoff our dad. We strongly recommend them, and are very thankful.“

“I am forever grateful to of had John Maher with Maher Legal Services by side during a difficult time in my life. He has provided me with sound, clear and practical legal advice. John always reminded me with encouraging words and smile that it was going to be ok and work out in my favor. I'm pleased to report he was right, very satisfied with the outcome. Highly recommended Maher Legal Services PC.“

“They did an awesome job with my mother they made her look like she was 20 years younger my family was very pleased. And very professional and kind.“

“Absolutely a pleasant experience at a bad time. Kevin and Sue were so helpful and compassionate in our time of need. The fact that Kish funeral home does not book two funerals at once should tell you alot about them. Thank you very much.“

“Just this month we used Lawn Funeral Home for the wake of my father in law. It is a funeral home we have used in the past and have always felt supported and welcome. For this recent visit it was my first time planning a funeral myself and I was met with warm- kind people each step of the way. From the first call coordinating picking him up. To the meeting scheduled the very next day to go over arrangements. Everything was explained in detail and we were given paper copies of everything. The staff was empathetic and made a difficult and confusing time be less stressful in the best way they could. When it came time to the wake- they did a great job on my father in law. We were worried he wouldn’t look like himself and he really did. Friends and family stated he looked as though he was just sleeping. They were great with communication between us and also the cemetery. They spoke to them and helped ensure everything would run smoothly the day of the burial. Shortly after the services we got the call that the death certificates were already back. Which told me they had a sense of urgency and filed the paperwork right away. Someone who specifically stands out is Keith. He was the person who talked us through everything- took our calls and was there until the very end. We are truly grateful for him & the wonderful staff we encountered .“
