Testimonials

On 11/16/2019 Susan Sadlowski Garza had this to say:
Was there for a family service and let me say The Betkowski family are the kindest most sincere people I have ever met. Always going out of their way to meet the needs of the families they are serving. They have a location on the East side of Chicago as well and each and every time ive been there I have watched them treat people with respect and dignity. Its such a difficult time when you lose a loved one and they always make sure you have everything you need. Thank you for your sincerity and always leading with your hearts.

On 10/2/2018 Michael Greene had this to say:
Was there for a service for a family member. Jim and Joe were extremely helpful and professional. The facility is well decorated and very homey. I would recommend this funeral home to all Cedar Lake and Lowell residents and if your further north you can use their St. John location.

FAQ

How do I plan a funeral service?

Our staff will help you plan every detail, including choosing a location, selecting readings and music, arranging for clergy or celebrants, and coordinating with cemeteries or crematories. We tailor services to reflect the life and wishes of your loved one.

Can I pre-plan my funeral or cremation?

Absolutely. Pre-planning allows you to make decisions in advance, easing the burden on your loved ones and ensuring your wishes are honored. We offer pre-need consultations and can help you set up payment plans or insurance options.

What should I do when a death occurs?

Contact the funeral home as soon as possible. We will guide you through the next steps, including transportation of the deceased, obtaining necessary documentation, and planning the service. If the death occurs at home or outside a medical facility, you may also need to notify local authorities.

Can we still have a funeral service if we choose cremation?

Yes, absolutely. Cremation does not limit your ability to have a traditional funeral, memorial, or celebration of life. Services can be held before or after the cremation, with or without the body present.

What is the difference between burial and cremation?

Burial involves placing the body in a casket and interring it in a cemetery. Cremation is the process of reducing the body to ashes using high heat. Both options can include a memorial or funeral service, and families can choose based on personal, religious, or cultural preferences.
