Electronic Register Book Questionnaire... 

Bringing better value to the families we serve 

and our Community.

Last month we asked you to participate in a survey regarding traditional Register Books verses the online version (guests to utilize a kiosk or smart phone to register via a QR Code).

We are continuing to look at ways to better guests' experience by offering them an easier way to let you know they were here to support you and your family. 

And the results are in…The online register edged out the traditional by a slim margin.  Soooo…will Hitzeman Funeral Home switch over to the online version…yes...eventually.  Society has already moved towards online registrations and purchases of tickets, products to name a few.  For now, we will offer both register options for your guests.

Thank you for casting your opinion!

The Brookfield / LaGrange Park Lions Club 

If you have eyeglasses that you no longer wear, or have those pesky empty print cartridges that are collecting dust in your printer or those old keys lying around that you are not sure who or what they are for, the Lions Club can put your donation to good use by aiding those who need a helping hand.

Feel free to stop by Hitzeman Funeral Home with your items.  You may deposit those items in the Blue Mail Box near our main entrance.

Now that school is back in session

and the eve of fall is upon us…

there is a glimmer of hope and optimism in the air.  

Go Bears! 

Thank you for your continued trust!
