A Crystal Lake funeral home that celebrates life

The professional team at Querhammer & Flagg Funeral Home is dedicated to compassionate care and celebrations of significance. We aim not only to preserve past memories but also to create new ones with personalized funeral and memorial services carefully designed with the personalities and passions of individuals in mind.

This approach allows us to get to know your family and your loved one. It allows us to consider your faith, customs and personal preferences, whether we're planning a traditional religious service, a contemporary gathering, a simple cremation with a scattering, or a graveside service in a nearby cemetery. Whatever you choose, we offer many planning ideas and resources.

In addition to a flexible chapel, we also have space for a reception before or after a service. And our catering services make things easy. You pick a package, and we take care of the rest.

Cremation in Crystal Lake

There are many options for cremation in Crystal Lake—and they're not all equal. We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways, and families love our all-inclusive pricing. With expertise in scattering ashes and a friendly team who pays attention to every detail, we provide service that is second to none.

More and more people are choosing cremation over traditional burial, but most aren’t familiar with the many options:

• a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
• a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
• a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

And for those who wish for a more dramatic memorial, Neptune Memorial Reef is an underwater cremation garden off the coast of Florida. A Celestis Memorial Spaceflight takes ashes into space for a little while or forever.

Our team is well-versed in military funeral honors and the burial benefits offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. With respect, integrity and dignity, we will walk you through the steps of creating a memorial service that truly honors the life and sacrifice of your loved one.

In addition, we host community events annually in honor of veterans and work closely with local veterans organizations.
