About Butler Funeral Home-New Berlin

Butler Funeral Home in New Berlin, Illinois is part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral home chain in the country — families who prefer a locally or independently owned provider may want to keep that in mind. As a full-service funeral home, they handle the range of services you would expect, including their demonstrated ability to coordinate out-of-state transfers and remote funeral planning for families who are not local. The home carries a 5.0-star Google rating, though that score is based on only four reviews, so it reflects a very small sample. The customers who have reviewed them consistently highlight responsive communication, compassion during difficult moments, and a smooth planning process — including for families managing arrangements from a distance.

Butler did an exceptional job assisting me with organizing my brother's funeral. I was in Nashville, TN and had to communicate remotely(phone/emails) to plan the funeral in Illinois.
