There was most definitely NO "WooHoo-ing" going on here as making funeral arrangements and/or attending funerals and wakes is never an "exciting" adventure. Of course, when you are grieving the loss of a close loved one, it's difficult to think straight and stay focused on what needs to be done. Kelly M. at O'Neil is an absolute ANGEL (She even kinda looks like one!) She sweetly and sympathetically walked my family and I through each step, covering every single thing that needed to be done and helped to clarify decisions that were difficult, which I'm sure IS her job, but she truly excels at it! I believe she went above and beyond to get my family and I through it all as quickly and as painlessly as possible. Actually, every single employee that I encountered at O'Neil showed the utmost professionalism in the nicest, most sincere possible way! The facility itself is absolutely gorgeous! I've been told that it was recently remodeled (prior to my use of it in summer 2012) so I do not know what it looked like previously, but I can tell you it is most definitely a comfortable and warmly welcoming, yet classy place. Last month another family member passed away and the family IMMEDIATELY went to O'Neil for the arrangements, even though they used other facilities regularly in the past, everyone was so extremely impressed with O'Neil while attending my Husband's wake and funeral that it will be the only facility our families will ever use from now on.

I can't believe I'm reviewing a Funeral Home, but after attending a wake here last night, I feel it…read moredeserves some recognition. Now no one likes going to a wake (especially me), but after walking up the stairs to this very old establishment, I found myself in a very comfortable place...both mentally and physically. It felt like I was in someone's home, and where better to say goodbye to someone than at "home"? Plenty of parking both in back and across the street in the front made access a breeze and the whole town surrounding Goodale has plenty of charm and character. There's even a wine bar down the street if you want to raise a glass to a newly departed friend. A nice way to say "so long", if you asked me. And since I'm Irish, that's exactly what we did, too.

I cannot say enough good things about this funeral home! From start to finish, Jim and Mike were so…read morevery helpful and truly made this as seamless as possible. The funeral home is clean, bright, updated, and very welcoming. Jim was amazing at going through our options for my Dad and made our selection process easy and very accommodating to the little changes we made here and there. Everything was organized in a folder for us and he made sure we didn't have any questions and if we did he responded almost immediately and made himself very accessible. Mike was there the day of the wake and he was amazing and very compassionate. Everything went perfectly and we joked about how my dad actually looked better at his showing than his final days with us (but he really did). The funeral and church proceedings went smoothly and like I said, professional, timely, and so very organized. They had the option to play my Apple playlist I made over the stereo system there, we made a slideshow that played during the service that they provide the link to upload and use so easily, and also had many easels for our numerous photo boards. When looking for a place for your loved one, I wouldn't go anywhere else! They went above and beyond to make sure my Dad was celebrated how we wished and we felt that! Thank you Jim & Mike for going the extra mile. We would recommend them to anyone without a doubt.

Larry was infinitely helpful in guiding me through the process for advanced planning, all while being incredibly transparent with pricing and fees.

I cannot recommend Larry (and Dames as a whole) enough. They have been around for decades and their service and degree of excellence made it obvious as to why.

Recently I had to use their services for a loved one. They were so compassionate, down to earth and helpful.

They were everything they should be. I highly recommend them. We used the Romeoville location.

Let me start with the positive. The staff were all wonderful. They made sure our family was…read morecomfortable with all decisions, and did not try to pressure us into getting things that are unnecessary expenses. With that said, the hair and makeup on my grandma were horrible. I did not know that she didn't want to use this funeral home until after her services. Apparently she had told my family that they don't make the bodies look good, and she was right! There was an inch gap between her makeup and hairline where pale skin showed. It could be seen from the back of the room, that white outline that almost glowed. When closer, I could see where the makeup completely missed part of her nose, her hands were blotchy, face streaked. It looked like an airbrush was used improperly, it was even in her eyebrows and eyelashes. We could even see where her neck had been stitched up from embalming her. I would think that the outfit she were to wear would be considered when deciding where to perform the embalming. I'm not familiar enough with the process to know, so this may have been unavoidable. I've been to many funerals and wakes, I do not expect the body to look like the person it once was. I do expect better than this though.
