Our family recently entrusted Shalom Memorial Funeral Home with my grandmother's services, and we are incredibly grateful for the care and compassion they showed us during such a difficult time. Jennifer, our funeral coordinator, was absolutely wonderful to work with. Throughout the two weeks leading up to the service, she was incredibly responsive, often answering our questions quickly via text. She was thoughtful, compassionate, and easy to talk to, which made an overwhelming process feel much more manageable. She listened carefully to our family's requests and did everything she could to accommodate them. Jennifer also went above and beyond to help us personalize the service. She worked with us to play Chinese music that was meaningful to our family and carefully helped arrange multiple floral displays and photo tributes so everything looked beautiful and reflected our grandmother's life. Her attention to detail and willingness to honor our family's wishes meant so much to us. Although we met under very sad circumstances, Jennifer's kindness, professionalism, and genuine empathy made a lasting impression on our family. The service was beautifully organized, and we truly appreciate the respect and dignity shown to our grandmother throughout the entire process. We are sincerely thankful to Jennifer and the entire team at Shalom Memorial Funeral Home for helping our family celebrate our grandmother's life with such care, compassion, and grace.

I hate that in a Jewish cemetery you are not permitted to place stones on your loved one's grave. Also, there are no walkways and you have to walk on graves to get to the person you are visiting.

Recently visited this location to pay my respect to the one and only Harold Ramis, Ghostbuster. I grew up watching HR on the big screen. Location was very well maintained and clean. Highly recommended!

While visiting my father's spot yesterday, I had the lovely opportunity to meet one of the grounds staff- Gabe. He took the time to ensure that we knew where we were going to and offered my mother water as it was a hot day. I appreciate the kindness that he shared. Great member of the team!

You would think that a son of the deceased would be treated with kindness and respect during the weeks following their dad’s funeral. Boy was I wrong. Shalom Memorial promised me copies of my father’s death certificate would be forwarded to my attention after the ceremony. Boy was I wrong. Shalom Memorial promised follow up phone calls after I requested copies of the death certificate from their office on 5 different occasions. Boy was I wrong. (In fact, I am still waiting for a call from the last message I left three days ago.) I was forced to go to the county clerk’s office for copies of the death certificate. The DuPage County clerk was more understanding (wishing me condolences for my loss, apologizing for my loss, etc,) than the staff at Shalom Memorial. Just wrong. My wife has planned numerous funerals for her loved ones, working closely with the catholic church and funeral homes. Not once has she been treated anywhere near the treatment I have received from Shalom Memorial. Just wrong. Shalom Memorial = wrong

My beloved aunt was interred at Shalom Memorial Park this afternoon. Hers was a life well lived in service to her family, her clients and her myriad friends near and far. The manifest stress that resulted secondary to her passing was exacerbated by the fact that her daughter, my nominal cousin, is a card carrying member of the lunatic fringe, certifiable and several French fries short of a Happy Meal. Imagine, if you will and care to, flying in from Florida to Chicago during the dead of Winter to bury the most important person in your life, sans winter coat and/or notification of the plethora of friends and relatives who knew and loved this person, and, upon arriving at the burial plot, asking site management to inform the few guests that presented that, because the daughter traveled from a warm enclave and has no winter coat, the eulogy would take place outside the certifiable daughter's rented Toyota Corolla while all guests gathered around the vehicle from which heat and David Bowie emanated, while daughter sat warm, comfortable and completely impervious to all that transpired around her. I'm still trying to figure out how Shalom's management team and the excellent presiding rabbi pulled this off without averting their eyes while explaining this "plan" or, frankly, laughing out loud. That they were able to do so both transparently and professionally is and was unfathomable to the few other relatives in attendance and me, and was, again, appreciated. While my beloved aunt now resides on the other side of eternity, her progeny lives on, which is perfectly acceptable as long as she returns to Florida and never again darkens either my doorstep nor generally jovial disposition any time soon, if ever again.
