The funeral home was very clean and stately. A proper memorial for my Mother“

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 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.“

He went above and beyond for our family from the moment we met him. He was never without a helping hand, or comforting words. We could communicate with him at any time, and he met every request. His facility is very nice, spacious, clean, and private. When we needed information and didn’t have the answer, he got it for us. I thank God that we called this funeral home and met Mr. Cannon. He handled our grandmother and family with such love and care. Great service, greater people. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and God Bless you, your team, and the wonderful service you give to people.“

“Seamless, Compassionate Care from Start to Finish

Funeral Home made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel truly seamless. From the very beginning, they guided our family every step of the way — from selecting the casket to all the preparations for the wake, funeral, and gravesite burial.

As a family-owned business, their personal touch truly shines through and speaks to the extra care, compassion, and attention we received throughout the entire process.

Eric Shoesmith and Beth Moscatello ensured that everything was in order at all times, and their calm, steady presence brought us great comfort. The entire team was incredibly attentive and handled every detail efficiently, from coordinating with the hospital through the gravesite service.

I was especially impressed by the thoughtful touches — the beautiful prayer cards, the memory photobook for signatures, and the care taken during the wake to ensure beverages and utensils were always replenished. Nadine and Erin were wonderful and so attentive throughout. The limousines throughout the funeral day were perfectly coordinated, making the day flow smoothly.

It was truly an easy process handled by a team that went above and beyond to make us feel supported and cared for during such a difficult time. Their warmth and professionalism made something so painful a much more manageable experience for our entire family.

We are deeply grateful for everything they did to honor my father.“

“I recently helped to plan services for a dear friend who passed. She has two young adult sons who were unsure of where to start. I called Hitzmans and set up a meeting. Chuck Hitzman met the boys and saw the unique dynamic. He quickly made the boys feel so relaxed as he explained each necessity, detail and option for the service. From that point on through to the day of the service, everything flowed and worked out beautifully, thanks to that initial meeting and support, as well as continued and easy communication with the funeral home, as we worked through each step. I can't thank Hitzmans enough for helping us all through this process. The day of the service was beautiful. Thank you!
The Hamera Family (and Friends :)“

“I am very grateful to Lisa from Peter Troost office in Palatine for her help in creating a monument for my mother's gravesite. Lisa is very professional and knowledgeable. She explained in great detail how the whole process of monument construction happens at Peter Troost, informing me of all the timeframes and giving a good advice about when the initial planning should be done, so the company will be able to finish everything in a timely manner.
Lisa took a lot of time letting me choose just the right graphics and texts. I changed my mind at least twice, and each time Lisa had another meeting with me at the time that was convenient for me, patiently listening and helping me with changes. I never felt rushed or pressured in our meetings.
I also appreciate Lisa's support and sensitivity whenever we talked about my late mother. It is very important to feel understood and to be treated with respect and kindness that Lisa always showed me.
The monument came out beautiful, just how I envisioned it.
I highly recommend Peter Troost company and especially Lisa Tomlin from their office in Palatine.“
