Unfortunately, my brother passed about 5:30 p.m. on that same day. She was angel sent from above, to assist me with making his final preparations. Her professional expertise is outstanding; she is very personable and someone you would feel comfortable with trusting her with your loved one.

You want to…read morecreate a beautiful stone to mark your loved one's resting place and the finality of the stone can bring closure. My experience with Monumental Art Works goes above and beyond with their wonderful customer care and most importantly with their custom design work and craftsmanship. When my mother passed away, I wanted to choose a stone that was simple but also have a customized script design to be displayed on the face of the stone. Olga who is the owner at Monumental Art Works is extremely accommodating and knowledgeable when it comes to the whole process of choosing a stone, creating the desired design, and choosing the available types of granite for the stone. I was very pleased with how my mother's gravestone turned out. Olga's compassionate personality make her a pleasure to work with and she takes the time to answer every question you may have. Her compassionate disposition enables her to take great care of her customers. Monumental Art Works are experienced in creating beautiful engravings in foreign scripts as well which includes Arabic and Hebrew. Their prices are very reasonable for the wonderfully crafted headstones that they produce. I would most definitely recommend Monumental Art Works to everyone who lives in the Chicagoland area. Olga has a Skokie office location for those who live on the north and northwest sides of Chicago and for those who live in the north and northwest suburbs. Her main office is in the southwest suburb of Justice, Il. Contact Olga at Monumental Art Works if you need a headstone, you will be extremely pleased with the results.

Promptly after paying her, she said their equipment broke and she'd have to cancel my order. I offered to wait until the equipment was functioning properly again but she declined. Then comes the mind-blowing part - she would not refund the $155. She was the one that involuntarily cancelled my order but refused to refund my payment. Olga is one of the most horrific people I've crossed paths with. I'm sure that equipment never worked in the first place and she was just monetizing my late father through deception. Scum of the earth.

Lawn Funeral Homes...4 1/2 stars for the 159th Street Orland Park facility and 5 stars for the…read more179th Street Tinley Park parlor...while it feels a bit ghoulish rating funeral homes, let's give this a try. There seems to be a bit of a facilities competition with regard to funeral homes in the far southwest suburbs of Chicago. Around Orland Park, it is the Sheehy family (Sheehy Funeral Home on 151st Street) and the Jarka family (Lawn Funeral Homes on 159th Street and 179th Street). The Lawn Funeral Home on 159th Street has been there for years...it is a very nice facility run by Mike Jarka (son of the founder). While the facility is ever so slightly dated in appearance, the Jarka family certainly serves its people with wonderful respect and dignity. Recommended. Sometime after the Lawn Funeral Home located on 159th Street, the Sheehy family built one of its parlors on 151st Street and it is a knock out. It raised the bar on facilities, seeming more like an actual home than a funeral parlor. Great service and consideration. Also recommended. Subsequent to that, the Jarka family built another Lawn Funeral Home (the name Lawn comes from its first in Oak Lawn), this one on 179th Street in Tinley Park (run by another son - Don Jr.)...and this one sets a new high for the competition. Located at the corner of 94th Avenue and 179th Street, the new Lawn Funeral Parlor is large and roomy. While they provide all the usual services with dignity and respect, the facility itself is a real seller. Two large rooms...which can be split into smaller rooms - accompanied with separate kitchen/breakout rooms for the families - can seat scores of family and friends. The facilities are new and very updated...so much so that I heard someone say..."Hey, when it's my turn bring me here." All in all, you can't go wrong with any of these facilities, but the new Lawn Funeral Home parlor on 179th Street really sticks out from the competition. Highly recommended.

My husband started the research for funeral and cremation companies. Despite all the people he called and the quotes he received, Simplicity's responsiveness, thoroughness, and fair pricing beat them all out. I also liked how their website was clear and full of information. And I appreciated how quick Connie was in responding to our questions. She made herself available one morning so we could meet in person to discuss the service's details. I was impressed by her experience and attention to detail during that appointment. I wanted to feel like everything would be professionally taken care of on the hardest day of my life. Connie made me feel confident about that. She even offered signage for people not to take photos, touch my mom during the wake, and ensure that people wore masks (which was very important to me). I left feeling understood and supported. Connie made herself available for any questions or concerns leading up to the wake, which was greatly appreciated. On the day of the wake service, Connie and David were prompt at the church. They took care of the setup and helped guide us with our personal details for the service. Everything that we had chosen during that earlier appointment came precisely as discussed. This company knows what they're doing. In the middle of my intense grief, I felt comforted knowing I could hand such an important event over to them. They allowed us (the immediate family) plenty of time to say our goodbyes after the service. We never felt rushed. We placed our last goodbye letters in with my mom, roses, and anything else that mattered to us. It was the hardest goodbye, but I'm thankful that they never rushed it and respected our experience. Several days after the service, the ashes were ready. I didn't have the emotional strength to pick them up myself, but my dear husband made the short drive to get them for us. Their setup and the respect they showed my mom's ashes when my husband arrived were so thoughtful. Connie and David went above and beyond for our grieving family. They did some extra things for us that blew us away and just brought light into our very dark season. Connie, David, Simplicity family, thank you for your kindness, thoughtfulness, and respect during this time. We hold the canvas and all the details close to our hearts. My beautiful mom deserved the very best, and I'm glad she got that with the help of your company.
