If a death happens at home, in a hospital such as Advocate Lutheran General, or in a nursing home or hospice, call us at (773) 866-2273. We will explain what happens next, bring your loved one into our care, and handle the paperwork with Cook County and the State of Illinois.
Direct Cremation for Park Ridge Families
Direct cremation means the cremation takes place without a viewing or funeral beforehand. Many Park Ridge families then hold a memorial at their church, at home or at a favorite restaurant in Uptown when everyone can travel.
Our $997 direct cremation includes: - Transportation from the place of death within our service area - A secure, climate-controlled holding area - Filing all legal paperwork with the county, city and state - An individual cremation; your loved one is never co-mingled - An online obituary to share with family and friends
Death certificates, the county permit fee and the state-required container are separate. For most families the total comes to between $1,400 and $2,000, and we go over every charge before you decide.
Other Options
- Water cremation (aquamation) from $1,897: a gentle, eco-friendly process that uses water instead of flame.
- Family Farewell from $1,997: a private one-hour viewing for family and close friends before cremation.
