Goldman Funeral Group

Goldman Funeral Group, with its Skokie Chapel located at 8851 Skokie Boulevard, Skokie, Illinois, is a distinguished provider of Jewish funeral services dedicated to honoring lives with dignity, compassion, and profound respect for tradition. Guided by the philosophy handed down by founder Irwin Goldman’s mother—'you build your reputation every day'—the firm has built a legacy of trust and lifelong relationships within the community. The Skokie Chapel is one of two locations serving the Chicago area, the other being in Buffalo Grove, ensuring families have convenient access to their caring services.

At the heart of Goldman Funeral Group is a deep commitment to the sacred trust placed in them by families. Benjamin Goldman, carrying forward the family’s values, emphasizes the Jewish concept of *Keter Shem Tov*—'a crown of a good name'—believing that a Jewish funeral service brings family and community together to express the beautiful essence of an individual and demonstrate that their life had meaning and purpose. This philosophy is reflected in every aspect of their service, from traditional burial arrangements to modern innovations that meet the needs of today’s families.

The Skokie Chapel offers a full range of services, including burial services, onsite chapel facilities, and pre-arrangement planning—a thoughtful gift that spares loved ones difficult decisions during an emotional time. They also provide prepayment plans to ease future burdens. Understanding the importance of accessibility, the chapel features a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot, with free on-site and street parking available. For those unable to attend in person, Goldman Funeral Group offers live streaming of all funeral services at no extra cost, a vital service especially highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep attendees safe while still properly honoring loved ones.

Beyond the funeral itself, the firm provides extensive support for the mourning process. They partner with Shiva.com to offer shiva pages where families can find information, express condolences, and contribute. They also offer a tree-planting program as a time-honored tradition to honor a loved one’s memory. For ongoing grief support, Goldman Funeral Group provides a free 365-day daily email program and a 52-week weekly newsletter, offering insights, quotes, and messages to help individuals navigate their first year of loss.
