Funeral Home & Cremation Service Lyons, IL

Casket burials in cemeteries have been a common solution to a final resting place for decades. However, cremation can be a great option and is rising in popularity for various reasons. Here are a few things to know about cremation if this is a topic you don’t have a lot of familiarity with at this time:

  • Cremation can sometimes be more affordable than casket burial. At Johnson-Nosek Funeral Home and Cremation Services, we give you the most transparent quotes we possibly can. We include all fees and permit costs in our pricing. We won’t tell you one price and then add on a bunch of “fees” as we have heard other companies do. 
  • Cremation can give you more options for the timing of your memorial services. Without a pressing funeral date, many decisions and their immediacy are considerably eased. For example, without a pending funeral and immediate burial, decisions like choosing a casket, plot, and planning the services are not necessary at that time. Some people choose to keep things less formal altogether after the remains are cremated as well. You can keep the ashes nearby to feel close to their departed loved one or scatter the ashes at a meaningful place with just close relatives or friends. Whatever brings you and your relatives closure is the right choice for your situation. The average cremation cost in Lyons, IL, ranges from $2,500 to $4,500, depending on the specific funeral home and services chosen. This price typically includes the basic services of the funeral director, transportation of the deceased, and the cremation process itself. Optional services such as a memorial service or viewing may also incur additional costs.
  • Cremation is actually the tradition of many families. Be sure to talk with us about any preferences you may have and we will accommodate you as we are able.

Who can have a flag on their coffin?

  • Can his coffin be wrapped in a flag? It is appropriate for any patriotic person to make and be granted the same honor as the military to have a flag drape the coffin. Only those who served in the military, however, are provided the flag for free. Learn More.


Do Funerals help the grieving process?

  • Funerals encourage grieving individuals to say their final farewells and to commit to family members. People exchange stories, weep, console one another, give support, etc. This group mourning process is an essential step toward healing. It ensures that individuals do not feel alone in their suffering. Learn More.


How much does Social Security pay for a funeral?

  • Usually, you and your partner will set aside up to $1,500 each for burial expenses. In most situations, this money would not be considered a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) resource. Learn More.
