Some Special Ways We Serve You...
Family tradition...Caring, affordable service... Attention to detail. This is what we believe in and what we have to offer families. This is what helped us set the standard for quality funeral service in the Chicago area.
First serving families in the "Back of the yards" area of Chicago, families have always depended on us to be there when a loved one dies. For over 95 years, we have been committed to helping families in any way that we can before, during, and after the funeral. Personalized, Caring Service.
Every detail is considered in planning a fitting tribute. Because each family has its own traditions, we are dedicated to planning funeral services which reflect individual preferences. We want families to select music with meaning to them; a religious or humanistic service depending on their faith; caskets, urns, or vaults that fit their desires and needs. These are just a few ways we can help people at the time of the funeral.
As a family-owned funeral home, we understand many families are on a budget. Our wide choice of services allows families to select only those services that are affordable and meaningful to them. Sometimes people are hesitant to discuss cost, but we want to be open about all aspects of our services.
More families than ever are making funeral arrangements in advance. This provides the opportunity for the family to make wise decisions at a time when they are better prepared to do so. Pre-planning provides peace of mind for everyone involved.
We offer a variety of pre-payment programs which allow you to control cost, avoid emotional overspending, and prepare for tomorrow by paying today's price. Our directors can meet with you in your home or at our funeral home to explain the various programs and answer any questions. We can provide you with complimentary Social Security and Veterans benefit information and a "Personal Arrangement Guide" booklet in which to record and organize all of your personal records. That way the protection you planned for will be received by your beneficiaries when they need it most.
For those preferring cremation, many options are available. These include a memorial service or a full funeral with visitation followed by cremation, or immediate cremation with no formal ceremony. Because there are many decisions to make, it's important to make pre-arrangements. This will assure your wishes will be carried out just as you would have wanted. Death Away From Home. When funeral arrangements must unexpectedly be made away from home, and family hearts are filled with mixed emotions, it is difficult to consider costs. If you want to limit costs, the best practice is to contact the funeral firm in the area where the funeral service and burial is to take place. We at Parkside Chapels & Cremation Services can properly advise you on the best approach to having the deceased returned to the Chicago area in the most suitable manner. Click here to learn more.
