At Ryan-Parke Funeral Home, we understand that funerals are for the living - they allow us to acknowledge that a life has been lived. Funerals provide an opportunity for us to gather to share, remember, and honor a loved one in a special way. They also provide closure to the bereaved by establishing a forum where family and friends can come together for support. For survivors, a funeral allows them to better cope with their grief and move forward through the grieving process. We have been proudly serving the families of Park Ridge, Niles, Des Plaines, Glenview and Edison Park, to name a few, for over 85 years.

As a full-service funeral home, we are able to meet your every need. We accomplish this goal through the wide array of options we make available in both services and merchandise. Our general services include, but are not limited to:

• Complete traditional funeral services
• Complete cremation services
• Graveside services
• Memorial services
• Pre-arrangement of all services
• Full consultation and coordination of services
• Science/medical donations

Celebrating A Life Lived
We are also committed to helping not only arrange the services that are right for you and your family, but also ensuring that those services truly reflect the life of your loved one. Creating a memorable and special service is done through personalization, or enhancing the service in any number of ways to help family and friends celebrate a life that has been lived. Although the options for personalization are virtually endless, we offer several at our home, including:

• On certain caskets, specialized casket corners that can portray any number of themes, from sports to religious
• Engraving on any casket lid
• Photograph display areas
• Memory tables, where personal effects of the deceased may be displayed
• A variety of memorial products
• Custom Memorial Tribute DVD/USB Creation Available

We are here to help. We encourage you to contact us should you have questions about our services. Please feel free to contact us at (847) 823-1171 or via our Pre-Plan tab.
