Welcome

Welcome to Hitzeman Funeral Home, known as one of the States most trusted, dedicated and attentive family-owned funeral homes.  Offering compassion, professionalism and the upmost respect to each family we serve. We will guide you through the choices you have whether burial or cremation before or at the time of need. Our mission is to work with you seamlessly integrating your wishes by celebrating the life lived. As fifth-generation owners of Hitzeman Funeral Home, serving the community for more than a century, it is our goal to provide contemporary amenities with traditional charm and a service level that is incomparable.

It is an honor for our family to serve yours in your time of need. For more than ten decades our focus has been to provide high-quality service to our families and friends.  We are well aware that our success depends on how we build relationships with our clients.  With a great deal of attention to detail, we aim to satisfy and exceed all of your needs and expectations.  Our Funeral Home is beautifully appointed, comfortable and technologically up to date.

Hitzeman Funeral Home is an all inclusive funeral home assisting with traditional funerals, cremations, luncheon scheduling, all aspects of veterans services, completing benefits, and out-of-state arrangements. Whether simple or intricate, no matter your religious beliefs or denomination, we are able to offer options that are tailored to your needs and wishes.

We stay on top of the current trends that are introduced in the industry. We make sure we offer our knowledge and expertise to help a family when it comes to their wishes. From capturing DNA for ancestry purposes to offering Green Burial options for those individuals that are looking for an environmental burial alternative.

We have found that more families wish to commemorate their loved one’s life. We are one of the few funeral homes in Illinois to offer a Celebration Package. This package includes adult beverages along with catering with special touches along the way.

From our humble beginnings in Chicago to serving Brookfield and it’s surrounding Communities (La Grange, Westchester, La Grange Park, Berwyn, Riverside, North Riverside, Lyons, Countryside, Indian Head Park, Western Springs, Hinsdale, and Oak Brook and Western Suburbs and beyond). You will find that we will never treat you as a number, we do not have any hidden fees or agendas, and we will not compromise our service levels. We believe that is the only way to do business.

The Hitzeman family and staff are here to serve you, day or night; we answer our own phones so you will always speak with a family member or staff. We do not rely on an answering service or a third party. The staff at Hitzeman Funeral Home graciously accommodates appointments after normal business hours and on weekends; we will always be present for you.
