When a death occurs in a hospital or nursing home, the medical staff should be informed that Hills Funeral Home will be the funeral home handling arrangements, so that they can have you sign any necessary release paperwork; then call Hills Funeral Home at (708) 598-5880 to notify us of the hospital or nursing home death.
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.

- we recently lost my son unetxpectky. No one is really prepared for that and you have to rely on people you don’t know. I can’t say enough about Jason over at the Hills funeral home. It’s a family owned business, and you are treated like family which is very nice during tough times. But that’s not the most important thing, the most important thing is the professionalism Jason displays. He anticipates your very next question and executes with the highest efficiency. Strongly recommend it.

Bless you, Jason, for taking so much time and care to make sure that my nephew, Bobby, was laid to rest with dignity. He has finally found the peace he didn't have in this life. My whole family appreciates what you have done for us as you did for my dear brother, John Michael. You are a wonderful caretaker and my family and I consider you a dear friend. God will certainly reward you for all your kindness and consideration!
Blessings to you and your family during this Advent Season.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Fr. Ted

I have had services for two family members at Hills Funeral Home in Palos Hills. Each time, I worked with Jason, the funeral director, who helped us through a most devastating time, making the entire process as painless as possible by handling every single detail with compassion, care and the utmost professionalism. I also worked with Nina who provided us with the same exceptional level of service.

Jason Leonard and his staff treated us like family. My family was drained by my late brother's long hospital stay during which he suffered greatly; we really needed a funeral director who would be our angel--sparing us further confusion, heart-ache, and worry. My brother had to be transported from Florida to Chicago, and Mr. Leonard coordinated with the Florida director perfectly. My brother was given such loving care by Mr. Leonard and our grief was tempered when we saw how beautiful he looked resting peacefully. All of our needs were met at the funeral home and Mr. Jason and his staff stayed
