My son died on December 22, 2022 while at Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, IL. In his mother’s eyes, Rick was very young. He was only 61. My husband and I arrived in Chicago on December 12 from Tulsa, OK, and had 10 days to spend with him before he passed. But we were lost. We were from out-or-state. Who do we call? What about a funeral home, and what about services? Rick lived in Chicago with his father. After he passed, I reached out to his dad to talk about the things mentioned above. He highly recommended Zarzycki Manor Chapels, located only a few blocks from where he lived. I did so, and an appointment with Zarzycki was made. The Zarzycki family consists of two sisters and their mother (Charmaine, Claudette and Andrea) who operate the facility. Everyone involved treated us with dignity and respect, and tried to make us feel at ease. They resolved all of the concerns we had, which allowed me to make final arrangements. My son would have given his full approval on the way in which Zarzyckis’ handled all of our requests. They forgot nothing, and yet, they handled all of the details with such efficiency and care. There were no mistakes. We all are so appreciative of all the efforts put forth for my son. Zarzycki Manor should also be highly commended for providing me and my family with a wealth of information as it related to closing out my son’s estate. This information was invaluable to us. Sincerely, Maryann Perkins

I would like to thank the Zarzycki family for helping out in a difficult situation. They were so kind and very knowledgeable as we planned for our father's funeral. From the first call they guided us all the way. The Chapel is beautiful nestled near the forest preserves. They were always professional but also compassionate.

Zarzycki Funeral Home went above and beyond for my Dad's funeral Walter Siuty in June. My Dad passed from Covid and my Mom was in the hospital due to Covid as well. We dealt with all 3 wonderful ladies and they helped us get thru this painful process quickly and made sure everything was taken care of. My Dad would have been so proud of his service. Thank you ladies for all the help and kind support still after the funeral. Highly recommend this Funeral Home.

I recently had my mother's Celebration of Life service at Zarzycki Manor in Willow Springs. I had previously been working with another funeral home, but decided not to work with them because of their poor customer service. I called Zarzycki and met with them the next day. Claudette spent a couple of hours with me going over what I wanted and also advising me on how to retrieve funds held by the previous funeral director that were part of a pre-need contract. She went over everything very thoroughly and arranged for a vocalist/keyboardist, flowers to surround and flank the urn and a pastor to conduct the service. Everything was perfect. It truly was a celebration. While there were a couple of tearful moments the entire service was uplifting and a fitting tribute to my mother's 102 years of life. I couldn't have given my mother a finer memorial than the one arranged by Claudette, her mother and her sister. So many who attended the service were very complimentary regarding the setting, the music and everything about it. I truly appreciate everything that was done for my family and thank The Zarzycki's for their compassion, understanding and commitment to their clients. There were many positive comments from those attending the service re: staff and facility. Transferring funeral homes could have been nerve wracking. The Zarzycki family made sure that it was not. I give them high praise in all areas.

Thank you so much Claudette for everything you, your mom and Andrea did in helping us through a very difficult time. Your professionalism, compassion and thoughtfulness will always be appreciated and never forgotten. The services you provided Joanne were beautiful especially during these unprecedented and trying times. You and your family were always there for us and went above and beyond. Saying thank you simply does not seem enough but we are certainly thankful for all you did. Yes when appropriate we will look forward to your guidance with a memorial service for Joanne.

I have had three funerals here and the whole family has made it manageable for me with their experience and expertise. This last funeral I had, Claudette helped me navigate a challenge I met with the funeral planning. Compassion is what helped me through all this.

Andrea and Claudette were very knowledgeable and tactful in offering advice yet able to step back to allow us to make decisions in the process of arrangements. They were always available and accessible from the first moment of contact, yet they weren't ever overbearing in their presence. They were very clear in explaining the protocol of the visitation and funeral and what we could expect. They were very clear in giving us direction as to what would be expected from us and when. With guarded anticipation, we were pleased to see that their stylist highlighted the beauty of our mother. Our experience as a whole was exceptional, from beginning to end. At least a dozen people at the visitation commented to me what a beautiful chapel this is. They loved the location in Willow Springs and the beauty of its surroundings. I also appreciated the cleanliness and spaciousness. My 2-year-old granddaughter led me by the hand into the bathroom to show me the roomy changing table! I have nothing but good things to say about Zarzycki Manor Chapels. Oh, I must not forget to mention how beautifully they placed all the flowers and photos throughout the parlor in just the right spots--picture perfect, showcasing each floral arrangement. My mother actually had chosen this as her pre-arranged funeral home years ago when she visited for a friend's wake. Thank you Andrea, Claudette, and mom for making this a pleasant experience.

I wanted to take this time to say THANK YOU for a wonderful remembrance tribute this year. The music and singing were so beautiful and everything was so wonderful. My family and I can't thank you enough for all you have done for us this past year. And when we left the ceremony, my youngest son Michael said to all of us, "Zarzycki takes that extra step and puts a personal touch on everything they do." "That's why they are so unique and great." I couldn't agree more. From My Family to yours, thank you and we hope you have a Blessed and Merry Christmas and a great New Year. The Lotz Family, Mike, Cyndie, Michelle, Kevin and Michael.

My family and I want to express our thanks to the Zarzycki Family in providing a lovely funeral for our father this year and for our mom last year. The staff made all the planning flow smoothly and treated us like family. When we first were looking for a funeral home for our mom last year we checked out other funeral homes thinking that Zarzycki's would be to expensive for us because their facility in Willow Springs is so beautiful. We were surprised to find out that it was actually more affordable that the other homes. During the funeral service we were able to use their kitchen and many of our relatives were able to relax and eat in there. So many commented that Zarzycki's was the most beautiful funeral home that they've been in.

Marie Barzen

July 15, 2016

Where do I begin? You took a very delicate situation & made my brother & I feel totally at home with your whole family. Andrea was totally amazing to say the least. She was so helpful & not at all pushy. The most magnificent thing was making our Mom look like she did two months before she passed. Cannot thank you enough! Would have been lost without your kindness. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

"She looks so beautiful" was the comment most heard during our mom's wake. Thank you for the extraordinary care and respect given to our family. My 98yr old mom had very specific requests and I was happy to see them all fulfilled. Elegant facility, friendly professional guidance from beginning to end. Another comment frequently heard was "How did you come about choosing Zarzycki's?" Because I had visited there once, witnessed first class attention and thought we might receive the same. I was not disappointed. Highly recommended for the strong yet gentle support needed during a time of loss.

From the minute we walked through the front door until the minute we said goodbye to dad, Claudette and her family were professional, friendly, smart and incredibly helpful. We didn't have a lot of time to plan for dad's wake and funeral, but Claudette made the whole process stress free and easy. The building and grounds in Willow Springs are meticulous. We really wanted to celebrate my dad's life in a clean and beautiful setting and we got just that. Having never gone through this before, my siblings and I appreciated Claudette's expert guidance and advice and every recommendation she made was spot on. We can't thank you enough for turning this time of great sadness for us into a beautiful celebration of my dad's life.

Dear Claudette, Charmaine and Zarzycki Family, We are so grateful for the best experience and support in such difficult time. Thank you for making my father’s funeral as perfect and comforting as possible. You are so professional, passionate and caring people. When Stefan passed away, we quickly realized that the Zarzycki Manor offers the best services in order to give him the final rest in his hometown in Poland. The coordination of all necessary logistics and paperwork with Polish local authorities and consulate, including shipment from Chicago to Warsaw and to Zakopane was superb and seamless. The visitation in Willow Springs Manor was exceptional and very comforting for the family and friends. We are also very thankful for your choice of cooperating funeral homes in Poland. It was duly noted by many here and abroad. Without hesitation, we highly recommend your services, including very special arrangements we chose. God Bless You, Henry Pabin & Family

I wanted to thank all of you for everything you've done for my family. Having lost my father and both grandparents, my dwindling family has been through a lot but your support and care for us has helped us get through these deaths and become stronger. Thank you not only for holding our hands through the funeral process, but still being there for us so many months afterwards. Although I hope to not have to do business with you again anytime soon, I would absolutely recommend Zarzycki Manor Chapels to anyone in need.

We just lost our father a few weeks ago. We are devastated by the loss of such a wonderful man, husband and father. Our family called Zarzycki Manor Chapels in Chicago to help with all arrangements including visitation. Working with Claudette and Charmaine Zarzycki just made things very easy at the most difficult times. They are very professional, understanding and caring. Their thoughtfulness goes beyond the expected. Claudette created a beautiful video of our father's life with pictures we provided. We were able to send that to many people who were unable to attend services including family in Poland and France. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you did in honoring of our father.
