Cathy is the owner and Carol is her right hand woman/manager. Like alot of us, we're not prepared for the end of our life or our loved ones. You might feel lost, confused and even befuddled. Cathy and Carol will 100% guide you properly and patiently. Saying "goodbye" to a loved one who's passed, is one of the hardest things humans have to go thru. Im still healing from the loss of my grandfather. It's been almost a year since l've been here and this is a long overdue review. One of the downfalls of loving someone so much is when they leave us, it's so much more painful and heartbreaking. Grief is love with nowhere to go. Drowning is an art of learning how to survive, be it in water or emotions. Northern Illinois Funeral Services helps you start the healing process. That's extremely invaluable for me. They say you get what you pay for, but here, they go above and beyond what's expected. Grateful for the two earth angels at Northern Illinois Funeral Service

When my father went into the nursing home, we talked to Tom about setting up the plans for him when…read morehe passed. Due to insurance problems, we were unable to finalize the details. Tom kept the file open and when my father passed suddenly, we called him, he pulled the file and kept the same quote he had originally given us. He handled all the details, gave us options, asked our opinions about what we wanted done, how we wanted to do things, and gave us advice on things we weren't sure how to handle. We are very satisfied with his work, compassion and experience. We would recommend him to anyone for this difficult time. Thank you.

My mother passed away recently. Hospice suggested using these people for direct cremation. They…read morecalled my husband to get direction to our home and told my husband that they would be a little while because "I have a guy baking right now" What the HELL???? BAKING!!!!!??????? This was my mother I was going to send with them...I had visions of them pulling out her gold teeth. I cancelled and Hospice told them that they would NEVER referr anyone to them again. I had more compassion from our vet when my son's hamster died. How crude and crass. When Hospice confronted the OWNER, he denided it!!!!!Yeah, my husband made it all up. ASSHOLE!

It feels a bit strange to review a funeral home but I am very happy that I decided to use Dupage…read moreCremations when my mom passed away a couple of months ago because they made everything very streamlined. I had visited the location a couple days before my mom passed and they were very respectful and took down all of our information so that after my mom passed they were able to just come in take her body to the home. They also were able to get all of our official documentation information filled out at that moment as well. We had the basic cremation package which allowed us a 30 minute viewing. The space was clean and allowed us some private time with my mom before she was cremated. Receiving her remains and death certificate was also very efficient. We received both a couple business days after the viewing. Thank you for making a difficult life event pain free and simple. That was very important for us as we grieved.

Even when they arrived to pickup my mom from my home they were caring, careful explained the process, walked the best path for exit and did not rush even though it was pouring rain outside. I was immediately impressed even through my grief. They followed up with me as stated, scheduled a meeting time to discuss plans. They were upfront about pricing, no gimmicks or salesman pitch. All of my questions were answered, no request is too weird because they've heard it all. I actually learned a lot about the cremation process and county requirements. I'm so happy they were recommended to me and I tell everyone about them and my family will definitely utilize their services in the future if/when needed.
