But, NH Scott & Hanekamp truly went above and beyond to help my family say a proper goodbye to our loved one who passed unexpectedly. Prior to picking NH Scott, my family called and visited several other funeral homes in the area. From our very first interaction, it was clear that NH Scott was superior. During our initial meeting with Justyne, it was evident she was focused on making us comfortable and making sure we knew what to expect during each step of the process (as opposed to being more focused on the business or contractual aspects of the arrangements). This is why we chose NH Scott initially, and we couldn't be happier that we did. Our initial impression proved to be very accurate. Justyne and the other owners and employees, including Jon, continued to provide a high-level of customer service and emotional support throughout the entire process. They were always incredibly easy to reach any time we had a question or request, and continued to always respond with kindness and understanding. I truly cannot say enough good things about this funeral home. I am so grateful for their help during this difficult time.

My mother unexpectedly passed away and our family had no idea where to start and did not know much about our options, processes, cost, etc. We did not want to get too overwhelmed, so we picked two area homes to visit and would make our decision afterwards. Jackie @ Smith-Corcoran was so wonderful and explained everything to us - answered all of our questions, explained every option available, etc. We felt completely at ease and knew that this would be the funeral home that we would choose. Every last detail was covered; her visitation was just how she would have wanted it and her funeral mass was lovely. All of the staff that we met were just as professional, compassionate and helpful.

My father passed away last month and we chose Shalom Memorial for his funeral service and burial…read more While I have never had to choose a funeral home before, I don't think I could be more pleased with our experience. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Before his passing, we had an initial visit with Michael regarding plot selection and he was helpful with helping us pick the location that best met our needs. No pressure, just a friendly visit and discussion. After he passed, we then worked with Sherry and Arlene to purchase the plot, casket, vault, shroud, death certificates, etc. The cost was substantial, but I imagine it is likely in line with other Jewish cemeteries in the area. Included in the cost is perpetual care of the grounds so there are no additional fees down the road. The chapel for his service was very nice and all of the people working there that day were super friendly. They live streamed his service which many in my family used. They also provided the ability to download the service which I decided to do. Shalom Memorial received the death certificates a few days afterwards from the village and we picked them right away so we could begin sending them to those who needed them. I really can't think of anything that I didn't like or was disappointed in.
