Cremation Society of Illinois

“During the most difficult time of my life they were there to comfort me and help take care of my son's arrangements. They understand what we wanted to do for him. The place is very nice warm and inviting to us along with the many guests we had. My son looked like an angel. I was impressed by his appearance very well done. The days and months after were extremely difficult but was remembered by their staff. They reached out to me often asking if I was doing okay and offering any help I could use during these difficult times. I was comforted by Elizabeth during an overwhelming episode of emotions. She discussed her own pain of losing her own child which brought me comfort after losing mine. She understood my pain and made it easier to get through such an overwhelming process. I'm glad my Aunt found this place. They are very professional yet human and compassionate during others pain and suffering. I was impressed how she would reach out to me over the weeks and months after just asking how I was at a time when it was my darkest. Thank you so much to the staff especially Elizabeth..you're a great friend and human being. Compassion is what was needed and she never once hesitated to be there for us. Thanks again for all you've done...if ever I am in need of such services I would not hesitate to call them again for their help. Especially you Elizabeth you are rock in a stormy sea of life. Much appreciated and thought of. 🙏”

“I would recommend the Cremation Society to anyone in need of such a service. The process was simple and as stress free as something can be at a difficult time. Cindy was very helpful and thorough in explaining everything, and she even asked about something in the included obituary to make sure that’s what I intended to say. This is the place to go for compassionate service at a quite reasonable price. I thank them again.”

“I should have posted a long time ago. My dad passed in 2007, and mom in 2008. They already had everything lined up with the Cremation Society of Illinois. I carried that card with me for years. Then one day in 2007, and again in 2008 I had to pull that card out of my wallet . They helped me every step of the way. Very respectful, and helped me get through all of it. I will be using them when it becomes my time to go. I want to make it as easy as possible for my family.”
