A very good experience dealing with David and Mio. All our questions were clearly and thoroughly addressed. A good and consultative process.

Skokie Community Foundation is so grateful to Chicago Jewish Funerals. We were offered a gift of two grave sites at Memorial Park Cemetery but had no idea how to sell them. Chicago Jewish Funerals brokered the sale for us, which awarded us $10,000 for the property. David Jacobson and Mio Gabrilo were so wonderful to work with. Thank you, gentlemen!

Mio was very helpful and professional

Working with Mio Gabrilo, Chicago Jewish Funerals, to plan for my eventual funeral was a very good as well as comfortable experience. He took as much time as I needed to clearly explain everything involved in the process. I have peace of mind that when the time comes, my loved ones will not have to be concerned with this process.

My wife and I are full of appreciation for the excellent service provided by Simcha Frank, David Jacobson and the Chicago Jewish Funerals in repatriating the body of our beloved son to Israel for burial. They could not have been more helpful and sensitive to our needs during one of the most difficult times of our lives.

The first time I arrived to make our plans for the funeral I was met with kindness, and warmth by their staff. This continued through the final burial. What was most important to us was how comforting they were at the funeral. They also arranged the food for the Shiva. We didn't have to do anything except learn how this went from mourning to a Celebration of life.

Chicago Jewish Funerals delivered fantastic personal service. David Jacobson was there with the support I needed in my times of crises. Mio was great to work with. He was very competent and extremely helpful.

I arranged my mother’s cremation from CA. Bill Rubin and the team did a great job of being communicative through every step of the process. I really appreciate the care and reverence with which they took care of my mom. I couldn’t be happier with our choice of Chicago Jewish Funerals.

It was a pleasure working with Mio. He was compassionate, knowledgeable and he didn’t pressure me. I would recommend him.

We met with Mio to do our Prearrangements - he was so helpful and thoughtful, asking us all of the right questions and more. Something that could have been very stressful was not.

This sensitive arrangement was handled professionally and empathetically.

I’m not Jewish, but if I’m on my death bed I’m calling Bill. He was a savior for my friend and his family at the end of his life, and is an incredibly compassionate man in the right profession!

Mio was welcoming and put me at ease right away. He was a great "explainer" of all my options and what to expect. It was very nice that CJF is able to coordinate with Mem. Park. What could have been a difficult process emotionally for me was made easier by the professionalism, understanding, and exellent communication from Mio. Thank you.

Every detail from start to finish was their number one priority. Chicago Jewish Funerals treats everyone like family, it was very comforting. Thank you.

We are so grateful to Chicago Jewish Funerals - Buffalo Grove Chapel for their kindness and professionalism during such a difficult time for our family. They were incredibly understanding, patient, and supportive as they guided us through the unexpected steps of preparing for the funeral. A special thank-you to Peggy for handling everything with such compassion and respect.

We really appreciated the care with which Mio provided us all the information to complete our pre-needs planning with Chicago Jewish Funerals. Everyone there is extremely kind and caring. We are glad we've taken care of our arrangements - hopefully many, many years before they are needed! Thank you, Mio - you were wonderful!

Mio explained all the options at every step of the way. He was patient and not pushy which my husband and I really appreciated.

They were wonderful to work with. Caring and kind people.

My family and I can not say enough about the professionalism and compassion shown to us during this difficult time in our lives. I cant say enough about Mio at the Skokie, IL. location, who held my hand through the pre-arrangement process for my brother. Mio was always courteous and compassionate. The numerous times during the process where I was over come with emotion, Mio's consoling words were reassuring . When the time came for my family to utilize the services at Chicago Jewish Funerals everything ran so smoothly. The Funeral Directors, Jacquelyn and Rueben were so wonderful and showed so much compassion towards my family. My family resides in another state, so it meant a lot to us that everything ran so smoothly during this very difficult time. Professionalism, Compassion, Warmth...the pinnacle of Chicago Jewish Funerals' Staff.

Mio was so responsive and a pleasure to work with on all of our plans. A very smooth experience.

I have begun the somewhat daunting task of advance planning for my funeral. Working with Mio Gabrillo of Chicago Jewish Funerals has made this undertaking exponentially easier. From the outset, Mio has been both warm and professional. He has responded to my questions and decision changes with patience and kindness. The whole pre-planning experience has been easier and more productive than I could have imagined. I am feeling confident that my decisions are completely right for me. I trust that when the time comes my children will be able to carry out my wishes with sound assistance. I recommend Chicago Jewish Funerals without reservation.

As a Rabbi I’ve worked with a number of funeral homes. Without question,Chicago Jewish Funerals is the best! The people that work there have the right perspective. They are sensitive to the unique emotional state of each family. They are kind, empathetic, respectful, helpful and knowledgeable of Jewish tradition at every level of observance. I just can’t thank them enough for how they worked with us as we recently buried my mother. My mother didn’t live in Chicago and from the start to Shiva Yehuda, Sholom and the rest of the staff were with us every step of the way. Their attention to detail is “yotzey mein ha-klal.” Thank you Chicago Jewish Funerals for helping us make everything so seamless.

Yesterday I took part in a funeral for a dear friend of over 30 years at Chicago Jewish Funerals - Skokie Chapel. From the funeral planning, the transportation coordination to the funeral itself, to the interment, the entire funeral was seamless, respectful and filled with love and caring. Every detail was extremely well thought out and expertly handled by the funeral directors. I can't possibly properly describe how perfectly planned it was with incredible attention to every detail. For the most professional, caring and respectful funeral, it is a must to speak to the kind folks at Chicago Jewish Funerals.

Recently I met with staff from Chicago Jewish funerals in order to deal with a non funeral related issue. Honestly, I have never worked with a company that was so caring and understanding. They took the time to answer all my questions via phone, email and... they even came to my house on a freezing cold and icy evening in order to discuss everything with me. They made sure I completely understood all that we had talked about. I highly recommend using Chicago Jewish funerals.They really are the most compassionate and kindhearted people. I only wish that all companies would operate like Chicago Jewish Funerals. It really is the "Way it should be".

There is a fundamental decency to Chicago Jewish Funerals. Over the years, I have attended many services at their Skokie location, and I have always found the chapels to be bright, calm, and uplifting spaces. I have also seen their staff make extraordinary gestures of kindness—once even loaning a personal car for the better part of a week to a friend who had relocated to the West Coast but returned to Chicago for his father’s funeral. My sense is that they do their level best to honor any reasonable request, so families can best celebrate the lives of their loved ones. Their motto, “The Way It Should Be,” is more than an advertising slogan; it is simply how they do business. When the time came to make arrangements for my own father’s funeral, Chicago Jewish Funerals was the natural choice.
