“I dont have enough words to describe Marin Funeral Home but blessed that God put them in our path in the most difficult time of our lives. Loosing my father was devastating for our family. And The Marin family was there for us being kind, understanding, and walking us thru an experience we have never had before. Will always recommend them to anyone that at some point in their lives will need funeral services. Thank you soo much for everything and God bless you all.“

“My husband recently passed away and I am beyond grateful for Drake and Son. From the moment I called them to retrieve my husband from the hospital, they brought him into their care and kept me informed every step of the way. Due to family availability, we had to do the visitation and funeral 2 weeks after my husband passed. I was a little apprehensive at first, not knowing how he would look after such a long time. I was amazed. He truly looked like he was sleeping. Thank you, Levi, Christine and Laura for your warmth, compassion, professionalism and, most of all, an incredible job. You are truly masters of your science. I would recommend highly to anyone in need of funeral services. If I could give them 100 stars , I would.“

“I held both of my parents’ services here. John and his team are extremely In tune with the needs of a grieving family. My mom had to be transported to Ecuador and John’s team handled all the paperwork, translations and seals that were needed. When we knew my dads passing was inevitable I reached out to let them know I, again, would be needing their assistance. The receptionist asked if I was at the hospital alone and I said yes and she said “I’m going to find someone to cover so I can come sit with you.” The attention is first class, the location and place are perfect and the people are service oriented.

As an only child, I will forever be grateful to Peterson-Bassi services for helping me say goodbye to my parents.

Thank you John.“

From the moment we made contact they were supportive, patient and empathetic. They walked us through the whole process making sure we felt guided and cared for. We received so many compliments on the services and the flower arrangements. It all ran as smoothly as possible thanks to their kindness and professionalism.“

“I want to sincerely thank Mrs Charmaine Zarzycki and Claudette Zarzycki. I’ve never had to bury a loved one and my situation was a sudden death.
The shock was overwhelming. Without hesitation I contacted Zarzycki Manor Chapels in Chicago.
Claudette was able to arrange everything quickly and the funeral arrangements were beautiful, and everything was perfect.
My sympathies to anyone dealing with the passing of a loved one. Please don’t hesitate contacting
Claudette and Charmaine at Zarzycki Manor Chapels.“

“I can’t say enough about how well cared for we felt by Phillip and the wonderful team at Montclair-Lucania. No one wants to plan a funeral, but they made the process stress-free and added thoughtful touches that made the service truly special. The banquet-hall style room suited my father so much more than a traditional space, and the catering area, and overflow spaces gave our family room to gather comfortably. A beautiful slideshow, table for family photos and artifacts, and a Bluetooth speaker for my dad’s favorite songs turned the atmosphere into more of a celebration of life than a somber occasion.

The team’s attention to detail was amazing, from providing wheelchairs and walkers when needed, to coordinating everything seamlessly on the day of. The building itself is lovely, with ample parking, so it was very easy for our guests.

Most of all, Phillip’s professionalism and kindness stood out, even as he took my family’s offbeat humor in stride during such a difficult time. I would choose Montclair-Lucania and Phillip again without hesitation. Thank you for making such a hard moment feel easier, and for honoring my father so beautifully.“

“I would recommend Malek and Sons to anyone who needs a modern and comfortable place to celebrate the life of a loved one.
Everything was done with compassion and to our wishes.“

“At this absolutely most difficult time of my life,Parkside Chapels made everything perfect. Thank you Jeff and Lexi.I am very grateful.“

“I accompanied my sister to this family-run business when she needed to make arrangements for her husband a few years ago. When my mother recently died, I felt Michalik Funeral Home would be right for her service and burial. Because of the timing of her death, between Christmas and New Year, as we tried to begin the church plans on our own there were just messages to be returned from the church director, but as we walked in to prepare the details at Michalik, we found Josh, funeral director had already been working behind the scenes to hold a date and time for us with my mother’s church, made phone calls immediately to work out complications before we were even finished with the consultation (church service in Chicago, burial in St. Louis). Delphine and Josh are absolute professionals with many years in this business. I highly recommend choosing Michalik’s if you want to make sure all details are covered and the service is seamless in implementation. My mother’s service was beautiful and we as mourners were lead through our parts by a sympathetic and dignified owner and director.“

“This chapel did a great job with my mother's service and everything was clean organized. I recommend this chapel for services“

“All of my family members on my mom's side have gone to Belmont Funeral Home since the mid 1960s. They operate with class and dignity and take very seriously every detail that the family feels is important. I cannot say enough about Scott and Gianna who handled both of my parents. I highly recommend Belmont Funeral Home to help make a difficult time go much smoother and give a sense that they will take care of everything.“

“We are truly thankful to have found Logan Square Funeral Home during such a difficult time. Violet was incredibly kind, compassionate, and generous with her time. She exhibited exceptional patience and grace when a difficult situation arose. From the beginning, she listened carefully to everything we wanted and never made us feel pressured or overwhelmed.

Violet and her team respected our wishes completely and made the entire process feel personal and dignified. We are so grateful for their support, guidance, and professionalism.“

“We recently had to use Benson funeral home when my father passed. I dealt primarily with Laura Benson. She made an already hard process much easier. She helped us with getting the life ins claim processed quickly by submitting the paperwork needed. Helping with the decisions we had to make for the service and also by being very present the day of the mass and burial. Kept everyone organized with the casket and the cars. Taking the stress of that off my hands on a hard day. Thank you for the extraordinary and sympathetic service you provided.“

“Our family has called the Lakeview/ Lincoln Park community “home” for over 60 years.
A year ago in October, 2024, Lakeview Funeral Home helped with the burial of my husband, Ruben Torres at Graceland Cemetery.
Their compassionate service was felt from beginning to end.“

“Midtown Funeral Home (formerly Asian Funeral Services) offers exceptional services in a beautiful facility. I cannot express enough gratitude for the extraordinary support and care we received. From the first phone call, Funeral Director Greg Lindeman and his team were compassionate, professional, and responsive to our family’s unique needs.

Midtown stands out as an increasingly rare neighborhood funeral home offering diverse and inclusive services, welcoming loved ones from all backgrounds and traditions. Their beautiful and spacious facility provides a truly healing environment during a difficult time. The solemn and ceremonious ambiance of their facility and three chapels—in sight, sound, and sentiment—added warmth and comfort for everyone attending. Their personalized floral arrangements were also thoughtfully designed.

Beyond their attentive service, the staff proved to be highly knowledgeable and informative about the funeral service industry and recent occurrences at local funeral homes, cemeteries, and other related service providers, helping us avoid unnecessary hurdles during an already challenging period.

If you are seeking a funeral home that genuinely cares, I highly recommend Midtown Funeral Home. Greg and his team embody professionalism, empathy, and inclusivity, making them an invaluable resource for funeral support and services when honoring a loved one’s memory.“

I was so anxious about planning a memorial service, but after just one meeting with Al and his team, I felt seen and heard. They brought all of my ideas to fruition and everything was flawless. Thank you to the entire staff for helping me and my family through a very difficult time.“

“Everyone that I talked to at Precious Embers was very professional and courteous and friendly, they picked up my husband's body and done his cremation, when they were done with everything they called to tell me everything was done, I asked when and where I had to pick up my husband's remains, the gentleman Mike told me not to worry about picking the remains up, that they would deliver the remains to my house. I thought that was very nice because, I was still afraid of driving alone, and I was a little afraid of driving with my husband's remains in the car, because I never had too do that before. But Mike delivered the Urn and death certificate to my house and express his condolences to me about the loss of my husband. He said that if I need help with anything to please call them to see if they could help. A few weeks later I had to take the death certificate to Social Security, but when we read the certificate for the first time since my husband passed away, we found a mistake on the death certificate. I was afraid of all that I thought that I would have to do the fix the problem, but I called Precious Embers and talked to Mike and he said he would handle the problem, and when he got it straightened out he would call me. It only to a day or two to fix my problem, I was surprised when Mike called and said he could stop by with the new and fixed death certificate, if I was home he could be there in fifteen minutes with the new death certificate. Mike showed up in fifteen minutes just like he said. If anybody needs to have someone cremated and would like some really very courteous and helpful assistance I would recommend Precious Embers. I'm not a young person I'm 70 and I couldn't ask for a more courteous and compassioned funeral home. Not only were they helpful but, there prices were very reasonable, I called around 10 different funeral homes, they all were very pricey, and acted like I was invading there privacy, asking them question's about prices and what all they provided in there packages. Some said they didn't have time to discuss things with me right know that they would have someone call me back, but no one called me back. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do, so I had question's that when I talked to Mike at Precious Embers he walked right threw the process of what needed to be done, the price it would cost and that they would handle the whole process, seeing that I never had to do any of this before. I would recommend Precious Embers to anyone who would like a very courteous and comfortable process in your time of need. They took care of all my problems and worries that I had, I had no Idea what I had to do for this process of cremation for my husband, but Precious Embers handled everything for me. So if your not sure what your supposed to do give Precious Embers a call in your time of nee, I know that they will talk you right threw the process and answer all your questions. I couldn't ask for a more courteous funeral home in my time of need, they made me feel comfortable in my worst time in my life. So give them a call, when you need them, tell them the Snider's sent you.“

Yvette Nixon and the funeral director took care of everything and was so patient with the family. We thank Yvette for the kindness she showed us and going the extra mile in finding a suit for our father. Yvette was also there for the many phone calls and questions we had. We thank God for Yvette (Angel). We would recommend this funeral home a thousand times over. Wade & Angela Henderson“
