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.

During this emotional and difficult process, my daughter and I were fortunate to be able to work with Milo "Mio" Gabarilo. He is compassionate, smart, knowledgable, and certainly not "pushy." Also, he is very efficient and promptly provides answers to questions and all paperwork clearly notated. We appreciate his thoughtfulness and kindness. Sincerely, Honey Siegel and daughter, Randi Asquini

I highly recommend David. He makes a sad difficult situation easier. His professionalism and care shines through.

I feel very fortunate to have had these wonderful people assist me at a very tough time for the family. They were compassionate and strived on every level to meet our needs and be considerate of the difficulty we were going through. My advise to anyone choosing a great group to help them in need of making someone’s final journey one of dignity and compassion this is a great choice. My final comment is simply thank you from the very bottom of our family’s heart❤️

Very efficient and respectful. Able to comfort people with truth, wisdom and guidance, with a hint of humor. I appreciate their commitment to compassion.

I can not emphasize enough what a positive experience this was. Mio was empathic, sympathetic, personable and professional and took the time to explain the process, what our choices were and answered all of our questions honestly and candidly. Not only did he handle the arrangements for CJF but also liaised with the cemetery and took care of that end as well. Absolutely would recommend - we left knowing that our loved one could not possibly be in better hands. Thank you very much.

The entire staff at Chicago Jewish Funerals - Skokie - were extraordinarily compassionate and helpful in every detail at a time when we needed that support.

No one wants to be near a funeral home, it’s admittedly a challenging time of grief and mixed emotions. Chicago Jewish funeral homes makes the most agonizing time easier. They are kind, compassionate, organized, diligent and incredibly good at what they do. Very clean and organized

We are so fortunate and grateful to have had Chicago Jewish Funerals handle all the planning and arrangements for our family funeral. The staff thought of everything that we need and beyond. And all done with a high level of professionalism and compassion. The attention to detail was astounding and brought much needed comfort at a difficult time in our lives. They truly care. Could not write more highly of the experience!

The decency, expertise, kindness and genuine customer service you'll find at Chicago Jewish Funerals makes a difficult experience both easy and manageable. Chicago Jewish Funerals was originally recommended by my Uncle years ago when my mom passed away. CJF was a strong advocate dealing with the cemetery when issues arose. They helped cut through some red tape when I had trouble locating the deed to family plots which had been purchased decades ago in 1963. When a loved one dies, things are stressful enough so we really appreciated the way CJF shielded us from unwanted additional strain. Needless to say it was a no-brainer to call on them again just this past week when my father passed away. Once again, the arrangements went smoothly and all details were presented orderly and smoothly. CJF made the entire process extremely user-friendly for both my sisters and I. They offer many options and their pricing is reasonable/virtually the same as it was 3 years ago. Also their facility is modern and beautiful. This time we held Shiva for my dad at their location after the burial which was beautifully catered by Kaufmans. Having shiva at CJF saved us the strain and clean up of having it at our house. We can't recommend Chicago Jewish Funerals highly enough.
