Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Northbrook

“I was very skeptical about funeral homes after a really bad experience 10 years ago somewhere else. Lloyd and his team were very easy and pleasant to deal with. The communication was good and the services went very smoothly. No weird paperwork or pushing of services. Thank you, Lloyd for helping us during a difficult transition, but making the service and cremation as our grandmother would’ve wished.“

“The funeral director (Emily) and all the staff were very understanding and helpful. We were very happy with the service they provided during my husband’s wake and memorial.“

“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’m very grateful for all the help that the Malec and Son’s funeral home provided. They are very passionate and willing to help all the time. They also very honest with the price. They return the fee for the services they did not provide.“

“With the passing on our brother we were at loose ends. He didn’t have the spirit to do any pre-funeral arrangement. My cousin recommended Colette and CCOI. We, surviving sisters were treated with kindness, respect and great compassion and communication. I would recommend CCOI and plan on using them in the future.“

“We planned my Mother's funeral from Florida site unseen. The Funeral Director Steve, met and exceeded every request we asked for. They worked seamlessly with the cemetery director. Steve was very calm and soothing for our family. He also stepped in when our church failed us by personally leading the prayers at both the funeral home and he did a very respectful gravesite last words. Simply Amazing. Cannot say enough.
The funeral home was very clean and stately. A proper memorial for my Mother“

“River Woods Funeral Chapels went above and beyond for my family and I during one of the most difficult times of our lives. Bill and Claudia handled every detail with compassion, patience, and respect, which brought me real comfort during this difficult time. I can’t thank them both enough and would wholeheartedly recommend River Woods Funeral Chapels to anyone who needs someone caring in their corner and their services!

Claudia took care of all arrangements needed to have my grandmother transported back to her hometown in MX. She had such great communication as well respectfully, which gave me and my family peace and comfort of mind during this difficult time for all of us. They stayed by our side and helped my family and I understand everything step by step.

My family and I are blessed to have met Claudia and Bill; both are very special people with such big hearts. They treated us like family

The staff at this funeral home were compassionate, professional, and attentive. We’re so grateful for their support and kindness.

Thank you River Woods Funeral Chapels for all you did!“

“The grounds are nicely maintained. When visiting Ridgewood, there is a feeling of peace and serenity. If there is a problem with an existing grave marker, the office is sensitive and responsive in caring for any issue. The entire office staff is pleasant to work with,; without exception. They went above and beyond to hunt down the burial plot of one of our fallen Korean War heroes, whose information was entered over 75 years ago and was not seemingly accessible. They took extra time and effort to hunt it down, much to the appreciation of the Veterans association documenting those we lost during that war.“

“I wish I could find the words to express the compassion and kindness I experienced with Memory Eternal. Vanessa was so understanding and accommodating. I cannot say enough good things. She helped me through the entire process and stood beside at my father's burial. She was truly my rock on that day and I cannot begin to express my heartfelt gratitude.“

“Cooney Funeral Home provided caring and supportive care for my mother’s funeral and arrangements. I felt well taken care of throughout the process and they followed all my instructions. I am grateful to have chosen them to take care of my mother.“

“​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.“

“I can’t thank Colonial-Wojciechowski Funeral Home enough for their outstanding service during such a difficult time. From start to finish, everything was handled with care, compassion, and professionalism. Mike, in particular, was incredible—his support, guidance, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and peaceful. He truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I’m deeply grateful for the comfort and help they provided. Highly recommended.“

“The Skaja family and their multi generational business exemplifies both compassion for family of the departed and class.
They have handled my family’s services for more than 60 years (I have the prayer cards to prove it).
They do an outstanding job to accommodate their clients during such a sensitive time of life.“

“These are the people you want taking care of you when your loved one passes on. They helped us in a sudden, tragic emergency and were caring, kind, professional & so comforting. Michael L coordinated helping us set up arrangements, making sure we were ok, just a soothing, calming, caring gentleman.
Everyone who helped was amazing, welcoming; we felt taken care of at such a time when we were dealing with our brother’s sudden death and we had hurriedly traveled from out of state to the Chicago/Skokie area to make arrangements.
Thank you Michael L, Maggie, Kayla, Sheila and all Donnellan staffers for guiding & assisting us through an incredibly difficult time. You are wonderful. Your funeral home is soothing & the spaces so attuned to needs of families and you most of all are great.
Sincerely, Helen & Noreen“

“We are so grateful for the beautiful monument Kornick & Berliner created for our mom. The quality of the work was outstanding, and the entire experience meant so much to our family during a difficult time.

Especially Editha — she was absolutely amazing to work with. She spent so much time with us and truly cared about making everything perfect. She was patient, compassionate, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Editha helped us choose the design and guided us every step of the way without ever making us feel rushed.

The final result was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for caring, professional, and high-quality service. Thank you again, especially to Editha, for all your support and kindness.“

“Kelley & Spalding did a wonderful job preparing my mother and me for her funeral. With complete compassion and empathy, they helped teach me (an only child) about all the complexities of providing a noble and dignified send-off for a mother who truly deserved the very best. It was such a difficult time, but the Kelley & Spalding staff made it as easy as possible for me and my grief. They treated my mother and her friends and family with great integrity and respect. Their facility perfectly accommodated our visitation and funeral. I will be forever grateful.“

“My mother had an incredibly beautiful send-off, thanks to Miles Fogle and his staff at Nelson Funeral Home in Park Ridge. Miles took the time to research my mother’s eclectic spiritual beliefs and created a sensitive, lovely service that reflected my mom 100%. In addition to going above and beyond to write the perfect service for us, he was kind and compassionate as we made the arrangements, understanding that the family was grief-stricken and needed someone to walk us through the process of what needed to be done next. The accommodations were warm and inviting, and visitors commented on how well done both the visitation and funeral service were. I can never thank Miles enough for his caring, considerate time and talent. I highly recommend Nelson Funeral Home.“

“Scott Funeral Home made things very easy for me after my mom passed away. Shelby was fantastic, compassionate and helpful. She answered all my questions, guided me through options and I felt very taken care of. Thank you!“

“I would like to commend the G.L. Hills Funeral Home for their superb service and professionalism. My Mother had passed back in 2012 and we weren't sure what to do with her ashes. They were gracious enough to store them until we could figure out the next step.
My brother moved out of the country in 2019 and had my Dad's ashes. On short notice, G.L. Hills were agreeable to store both my parents ashes until we could determine their best final resting place. Then the pandemic came in 2020 and 6 years disappeared.
Fast forward to 2026, my wife and I intended to take the ashes for burial to rural South Dakota where they were both from. Not knowing if their ashes still existed, I contacted the funeral home and they confirmed that they still had their ashes. We were able to pick them up along with necessary papers, drive to South Dakota and complete this task.
I can't say enough positive things about the G.L. Hills funeral home and their respect for service and professionalism.“

“The care and professionalism we received during such a difficult time deserves recognition.

When we lost my grandmother, the team at Haliburton handled everything with genuine compassion and dignity. The presentation of her body was beautiful; it was clear that real care went into every detail. They walked our family through the entire process patiently and thoughtfully, and we never once felt pressured to spend beyond what we needed. That honesty and respect meant the world to us.

We also deeply appreciated having her passing posted on the website. It was a meaningful way to share the news and honor her memory.

Thank you for treating my grandmother and our family with such grace during the hardest of times.“
