For this reason Van Henkelum Funeral Home has become an integral part of hospice care in Palos Heights, IL. The highly acclaimed staff of funeral professionals and cremation experts at Van Henkelum Funeral Home appreciate the trust that families and hospice caregivers place in them and they constantly strive to be deserving of that trust.
