Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Wilmette

“Dignified and professional from Austin Texas to Mom’s final interment in Lincolnwood. All done during the holiday season with all its delays and through a winter storm.“

“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!“

“We just had our familys’ third service at Cumberland in the last 20 years. Thank you to Steve and Bob (and team), for your compassion and professionalism while we said goodbye to our grandmother Czesława. Everything was perfect.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

She exhibited exceptional patience and grace when a difficult situation arose. From the beginning, she listened carefully to everything we wanted and never made us feel pressured or overwhelmed.

Violet and her team respected our wishes completely and made the entire process feel personal and dignified. We are so grateful for their support, guidance, and professionalism.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“On January 6, our Mother expired. Immediately, Sax-Tiedemann was contacted. With calm and soothing voices, Mia and Tim arrived at the home to transport our Mother to the funeral home with empathy and compassion. Mia, our funeral director, commenced the preparations, in a timely manner. She was knowledgeable and thorough. Her suggestions were extremely helpful, due to us not knowing the process of burying a loved one. Mia made us feel at ease, as if she was part of our family. We will never forget this feeling. She tried to make the experience, as stress free as possible. No negative words can be spoken about this establishment. We will recommend Sax-Tiedemann to family and friends, in the future. Nothing, but the best of luck to the entire Sax-Tiedemann staff!

Thank you,

Michael Librizzi

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“I cannot thank Les and Matthew at Christian Funeral Home enough for their incredible support when my aunt passed. As someone who had never organized a funeral, I was lost, but they made the process so simple and smooth. The funeral home is beautiful, private, and well organized, offering video tributes in both the chapel and the cafeteria. Their kindness, professionalism, and personal attention made a very hard time much easier. They treated us like family.“
