About Hallowell & James Funeral Homes

Hallowell & James Funeral Homes is an independently owned funeral home serving the Countryside, IL area. Pricing starts at $4,370 for traditional burial and $5,293 for direct cremation, which is notably higher than many local providers and positions them at the premium end of the market — families on a tighter budget may want to compare options before committing.
