Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The first question was, "Did you bring joy?" The second was, "Did you find joy?"

While all veterans, service members, and occasionally family members are entitled to a military burial upon request, there are a number of instances where this can be denied. This includes if the individual was dishonorably discharged, or convicted of a capital offense. If you have any questions regarding the details of these qualifications, don't hesitate to give us a call at 773-434-5200.

Those who are no longer with you, are forever in your heart. What is your favorite memory with your loved one?

When a family chooses to not view their loved one and proceed directly to cremation, they must still select a casket. Cremation caskets are simple containers, made from cardboard or wood, designed to be cremated along with your loved one at the time of cremation. Why? The container shelters and protects the deceased during the transfer process from our facilities to the crematorium, and ensures everyone involved - living or deceased - is treated with safety.
