Chicago Jewish Funerals Skokie Chapel

The Way It Should Be

It should be, first and foremost, about service. It should be personalized and compassionate. It should be about commitment. It should be from people who work and live right here, in our community. It should be about having a service where you want it: chapel, synagogue, or graveside. It should be about being able to pre-plan for your family. It should be about the way you want to mourn.

We Began as a Promise

We began as a promise to the Jewish community. You and your family deserve a highly personal funeral service that respects your wishes and the strong traditions of the Jewish people.

Since 1997, Chicago Jewish Funerals has honored this promise. We provide compassionate, concierge-level service with a special sensitivity to Jewish customs and traditions. Day after day, season after season, year after year, people come to us because they know we will be there for them.

Independence Matters

One of the important reasons why we can provide such attentive service is that Chicago Jewish Funerals is independently owned. In fact, we are the leading independently-owned, full service Jewish funeral home in the Chicagoland area. We are neither affiliated with, nor a subsidiary of, any national funeral corporation. Our independence allows us to help families arrange a funeral that best meets their needs and responds to specific requests and traditions.

Shiva at our Chapels

Chicago Jewish Funerals is proud to offer another opportunity to better serve our families. Many families would like to have a shiva or a meal of consolation, but have difficulty finding a suitable location. In order to fulfill our commitment to helping your family through this difficult time, we are now offering the use of our Chapels as a space for gatherings following funerals or memorial services. If finding a shiva location is a concern for your family, both our Buffalo Grove and our Skokie Chapels can be utilized as spaces for small, intimate gatherings or as venues for larger events. We will work with you to tailor these gatherings to your family’s specific needs. Please ask your funeral director about how we can best serve your family with options for catering, room layout, music/video presentations, and more to personalize and customize your experience.

Life-affirming Work

Today, Chicago Jewish Funerals has become a trusted family tradition. We care for the whole family throughout the funeral process and beyond. The lessons we learn from the families we serve inspires so much of what we do – supporting congregations, education programs, even Little League teams – life-affirming community events that instill our lives with hope, connection, and, at times, a little laughter.

We serve the entire Chicagoland area with locations in Buffalo Grove and from our newest chapel in Skokie. Independent. Jewish Owned. Since 1997.
