When my dad passed in April, it was hard to understand what would need to happen next. Doug and the…read moreentire CCO team was extraordinarily helpful, patient, and kind at every step of the process. From initial information gathering, planning, the private viewing, church service, to the graveside interment, Doug ensured nothing was left to chance. The on-site team and office staff were so clearly committed to serving my family, guiding us gently through the arrangements and difficult decisions. We are so eternally grateful for the support and service.

My daughter was only 29 and I made a couple of appointments and never showed up I honestly thought…read moreI had more time but I didn't. I received your call on December 29 that my daughter was about to be incubated at Northwestern Hospital in Chicago and at that moment I packed a bag and drove to Chicago and stayed until her passing on April 13, 2026 after Brittany was treated at Northwestern and rarely there was nothing more that could be done she had encephalitis and lymphoma cancer so for four months she fought a hard long battle . My daughter was transferred to Kindred North Hospital investigation, and only lasted a a few days there before she passed and when the time did come I contacted Doug originally and he said just call us when it happens and we'll pick her up and we'll deal with the money and everything later.. actually I couldn't call, but my cousin did make the phone call and then later after she passed, I was able to go online and complete all the pertinent information but he was very professional and when I did pick up the Urns he made it a priority to come out and meet me and offer his condolences very professional service. The only complaint I had was the lady who took care of us seemed a bit cold, but I guess in that type of business you become cold well perhaps that happened to her she didn't offer condolences nothing just let's get this business over with. If I asked a question she didn't know she didn't even try to find answer.I Again I am horrible with names, but this young lady was very compassionate and helpful I was unsure if I was going to be able to drive back to Tennessee or have to fly and she provided me with a free box to ship the urn. irregardless if I ever had to use them again, I would. I live in Tennessee so it's not going to happen, but that was my only daughter who died at age 29. Doug, appreciate your outstanding service and your personal effect on your company. I mean job well done..

Robert & Rocco were phenomenal during such a difficult time for our family, providing great compassion and detail to every aspect of the service. With a whirlwind around us and essential family members missing from the wake and funeral, the staff was even kind enough to record moments for us to look back on so the loved ones missing could see what took place. We can't thank everyone at Ryan-Parke enough, and if you happen to be in search of a funeral home that goes above and beyond, this one is it.

My step dad passed away unexpectedly and suddenly. His funeral was held here. My mom was his…read morepartner for 9 years, spent everyday together and he passed in front of her the day before their anniversary. His "former former" ex wife that hasn't been in his life for 25 years told them that she was in charge and wouldn't let my mom in the family viewing and threaten to have her removed for being there in general. The funeral home did nothing when this was explained to them. They had the names above the doors wrong, one of his best friends pointed it out to the funeral home to make sure they cremate the right person but they didn't do anything about it. To make it even worse, a disorderly man went on a rant bashing my step father and it went on for far too long and no one stepped in or stopped him or asked him to leave until one of my step dads childhood friends stepped in. This happened in front of children that looked at him like a grandfather. This place was honestly disgusting, unprofessional, disrespectful and they had no empathy or sympathy. My step dad deserved better!!! From the moment you walked in the energy wasn't right but this service was cringe and unacceptable all around.

My family's experience with Cooney Funeral Home , following my mother death , was horrific…read more Mike Cooney was disorganized and sloppy from day one. My mother had fluid leaking from her mouth when we arrived for the wake. No gloves were provided for the pallbearers, the extra mass booklets were lost or thrown out . But the unforgivable thing was my sweet mother had to be exhumed 3 weeks after she was laid to rest for the coroner to do an autopsy. Gene Cooney had buried her without a signed death certificate . Gene Cooney was reported to the state by the coroner for his negligence . I share this information hoping no one else has to experience this pain. Carmel

He decided to purchase a 3-bedroom, 2 bath home in the all-White suburbs of Arlington Heights - 100% so that my my little brother and I could have a backyard with a children's swing set in the 70s Point being, my mother, who physically beat us with a wooden spoon DAILY...

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. I would highly recommend Smith-Corcoran
