Lakeshore Jewish Funerals
A new name. The same tradition of service.
If you know Westlawn Cemetery and Mausoleum and Westlawn Jewish Funerals, you already know the new Lakeshore. We’ve been serving Chicago’s Jewish families for over 3 generations–with caring, commitment and tireless attention to detail. Plus, we’re still affiliated with Westlawn Cemetery, to help serve that community for all their needs as well.
Although we’re now known as Lakeshore Jewish Funerals, our dedicated staff is still the same. Lead by Director Gregory J. Lindeman, we continue to be committed to excellence and belief in our mission: To provide the support, personalized service and comfort that grieving families need to help them start the process of healing.
