Matt Conboy and the rest of the Conboy-Westchester Funeral Home family helped make an awfully painful circumstance as positive as possible. I and my family appreciate their excellent and compassionate service.

Dont go through this alone, CALL BRIAN KURATKO at CONBOY-WESTCHESTER! We were lost, and Brian thought of everything...even the smallest details. He and his father Ken, who is an amazing celebrant, will forever be part of our family. It felt like they took us under their wings, made the what could easily be the worst day of our lives into a beautiful, peaceful, loving experience. I could go on and on. Thank you to the ORIGINAL Kuratkos for giving us the perfect celebration of our mothers life. We will never forget it.

What can I say, there are truly no words that can describe the uplifting experience my family had Conboy-Westchester Funeral Home in Westchester, IL. They deserve 10 stars!!! The initial meeting with Brian Kuratko to coordinate my mothers funeral arrangement was incredible. Beyond professional, he was able to help us navigate the process from picking funeral memorial prayer cards, picking the church readings, reviewing the obituary publication to the coffin style from start to finish for the funeral arrangements. The information given to Brian, he personalized the funeral arrangements to match

After learning of the tragic passing of my Father, my sisters & I had to search for a funeral place. None of us had ever planned a wake & burial & let me tell you, this is not easy. Conboys Westchester Funeral service was our last meeting of a long day. There were so many decisions amongst 6 sisters. Matthew was there through it all. His patience & sincerity really helped us 6 sisters get through what has been one of the most difficult time of our lives. Matthew was very professional, knowledgeable, kind & understanding. I am very grateful & thankful to Matthew and his staff. Character goes a long
