“I highly recommend this funeral home. They are so kind and sweet to their guests. They took their time to help me on the phone and in person. They made sure everything was on time for the funeral, viewing etc, they also checked on my family and I a few weeks after my mother's burial. I felt at peace using this place. Thank you so much for every thing.“

Throughout a difficult time for my family, Phillip consistently put us at ease, offering unwavering support and understanding whenever we reached out—day or night.
His patience and compassion are qualities I deeply admire. I can honestly say I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my funeral needs. Phillip’s dedication and kindness have made a lasting impression on us, and I am immensely grateful.
Thanks to him, we feel confident and at peace knowing that our future funeral arrangements are in good hands. I am optimistic about the support we will receive from Montclair-Lucania Funeral Home because of Phillip’s exceptional care.“

“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.“

“They are family owned, extremely professional & they did provide personalized care and handled all the arrangements for our family during such a difficult time.“

“My mother service was beautiful....Lauren was amazing and so was the rest of the staff“

“I give high praise to Cage Memorial. In 2023 they handled my mother's funeral service, navigating a complex process. She lived in Atlanta, GA with a family member, until her death. Then we had her remains sent back to Chicago for interment. Cage Memorial worked with a local Atlanta funeral home to bring our mother home to Chicago and then arrange the usual and customary funeral arrangements. They were patient in dealing with our small family and navigating the requests of the three family members involved in making the arrangements.

In 2025 our family decided to move our grandmother from a remote south side Chicago cemetary to the same location as her children. Yet again, this was a complex process, requiring special permits from the city and coordinating with the original cemetary to move our grandmother. These transfers only take place May to September, just to complicate things even further. Cage was so professional in their handling of the challenges in this process. They kept things simple for the family who do not live in Chicago, communicating via text, email and offering digital documents for signature. The family couldn't be there on the day of transfer, but Cage kindly took photos of the procedure.

I have the highest regard for Cage Memorial and recommend them for you funerary needs. The quality of care and value of their service was high.“

“Very nice people! Both my grandparents were waked at Elmwood on the East Side. The older gentleman was very sweet.“

“I want to thank Nina for everything she did for us in this difficult time in the passing of our father.“

“We are so grateful for the beautiful monument Kornick & Berliner created for our mom. The quality of the work was outstanding, and the entire experience meant so much to our family during a difficult time.

Especially Editha — she was absolutely amazing to work with. She spent so much time with us and truly cared about making everything perfect. She was patient, compassionate, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Editha helped us choose the design and guided us every step of the way without ever making us feel rushed.

The final result was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for caring, professional, and high-quality service. Thank you again, especially to Editha, for all your support and kindness.“

“I cannot thank Les and Matthew at Christian Funeral Home enough for their incredible support when my aunt passed. As someone who had never organized a funeral, I was lost, but they made the process so simple and smooth. The funeral home is beautiful, private, and well organized, offering video tributes in both the chapel and the cafeteria. Their kindness, professionalism, and personal attention made a very hard time much easier. They treated us like family.“
