Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Palos Heights

“Mike and his team have done a fantastic job with their services. I really appreciated that during the initial meeting he didn’t try to upsell us on stuff (casket, flowers, etc.). Obviously this was a difficult time for my family and he was extremely helpful navigating everything.

The way the rooms are set up are great for traditional sitting on one side and another section with round tables that allow people to talk and visit. They also have two sets of fridges/cabinets in the kitchen, as there was another service the same day, and it made it easy to separate whose family brought what. The thank yous were easy with the computer check in process so we didn’t have to hand write all the addresses for thank you cards.

For the actual service, they were very organized for the procession and directing everyone on where to go. I have unfortunately been to a fair number of funerals, and most of the time the procession from the funeral home to the church/cemetery can get very confusing, but Mike and his team made everything incredibly smooth.

I very much appreciate everything Mike and the Kerry Funeral Home team has done to make this difficult process as easy as possible!“

“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.“

From the moment we made contact they were supportive, patient and empathetic. They walked us through the whole process making sure we felt guided and cared for. We received so many compliments on the services and the flower arrangements. It all ran as smoothly as possible thanks to their kindness and professionalism.“

“I honestly cannot say any more great things about Colonial. We just had our mom’s services here. Dave was so incredible and compassionate. And oh my gosh I am so sorry because I cannot remember the beautiful woman in the office that I have hugged many times and was so compassionate.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart“

And really take everything into their own hands.“

“I highly recommend Lack and Sons Funeral Home. Matt made it a super easy and painless process. Jen did a great job in the office with the obituary. They were super responsive and timely to all our emails and texts. We lost our dad in a fire, and Matt did a great job accommodating, and going above and beyond to help us during this tragic time. Everyone at the wake felt very welcoming, and my kids even made mention of how nice it was. We were the only service that evening so having the whole facility to ourselves let us really add all the personnel touches we needed for our father. Even after my dog got a hold of my dad’s ashes, Matt offered to help us with pulling more out of the urn as I was heartbroken over what happened.“

“My mother service was beautiful....Lauren was amazing and so was the rest of the staff“

“When we lost our Dad years ago, they really stepped up and handled everything for us. Explained delicately, without any pressure or pushing.. knew what was covered through our Dad's service and guided us. During such a difficult time, they really took good care of our family.“

“I echo Kris L’a sentiment. This is a very difficult time, yet Dan (Tinkey Park) led us through the process with empathy and ALOT of patience. He assisted with cemetery and church arrangements, which helped tremendously. He was extremely patient as my sister-in-law was deciding on options for the service.

Dan, Denise, Barbara and Kevin were helpful the entire time.

Viewing time was set aside for my sister-in-law and her family and was respected by Dan.

Thank you all for the guidance and support. I would highly recommend them.“

“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.“
