“My wife had a stillbirth, a very traumatic and hard time we were in and in addition to this, we had to deal with with hospital bills and funeral costs. The hospital gave us a list of places to call that could help but to no avail, a friend told us to call Cumberland Chapels, we did and to my amazement they handled everything at zero cost. They were very professional and sympathetic. We are so grateful for their services.“

“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.“

“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.“

“​My family and I can't say enough about the incredible service we received from Smith-Corcoran Funeral Home for my mother's funeral yesterday. From our first phone call with Karen to our initial meeting with Jay Smith, the funeral director, we knew we were in good hands. Jay took the time to get to know my family and learn about my mother, explaining every step of the process with clarity and compassion. The professionally printed documents he provided were a huge help during a difficult time.
​The entire staff was outstanding. During the wake, Eric and Judy were so engaging, sympathetic, and helpful. The facility itself was inviting and spotless. On the day of the funeral, Jay's patience and leadership were exemplary, from guiding the caravan to ensuring every detail was perfect. It was clear that for Jay and the entire team, this isn't just a job—they genuinely care. Kirstin, Raul, and the rest of the staff all showed the same high level of customer service.
​Smith-Corcoran made a very sad day bearable. We are so grateful for their professionalism and empathy, and we know my mother would have been extremely proud of how beautifully everything was handled. Thank you, Jay, Karen, Kirstin, Eric, Judy, Raul, and the entire wonderful team at Smith-Corcoran.“

“I can't begin to express thanks to Donnellan for the amazing ways they accommodated our send-off to my beloved husband. All staff were compassionate and professional, with special thanks to Kodee for help with planning and explanations, and to Michael who was available throughout to assist with anything we might need. This was our third experience with Donnellan, as they had managed the funerals of each of my husband's parents. Their family orientation was exactly what we needed to celebrate my husband's life.

She helped us with getting the life ins claim processed quickly by submitting the paperwork needed.

“I pass by the Elms on my daily walks with my dogs, and when my husband died after a tragic accident, I looked no further for funeral services than the Elms. When my son and I went in to make the arrangements for George, we were met with kindness, compassion, and professionalism by Miles Fogle, funeral director, and Donna, the office assistant. I was touched by their caring and and sensitivity as we planned my husband's memorial. Mr. Fogle and Donna kept us informed as the Medical Examiner began an investigation into my husband's death and to when he would be cremated. We were allowed to set up items and photos for the memorial the day before it was scheduled. Again, Miles and Donna made sure that everything was exactly as we wanted it to be, including playing Queen music during visitation. The Elms is lovely and tranquil. The chapel is tastefully decorated, the lounge was spotless and tasteful, and the washrooms were clean and well appointed. Truly, I could not have asked for a more wonderful, tasteful, and beautiful experience as we said goodbye to our husband, father, brother, uncle and friend. I highly recommend using the Elms and Mr. Fogle if you have a need for funeral services. A sad experience was made easier for us due to their sympathy, sensitivity, kindness and care.“

“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.

“My mother was handled with outmost respect and care while we grieved her loss. The young man and young woman who came to the home to transport her body to the funeral home allowed us to incorporate our Mexican cultural practices. After all, it is traditions and culture that provide the prescription for loss and grieving. We are very grateful that a very last minute request was granted which was for the funeral procession to pass by my mother’s home. While our hearts ache her loss, we also experienced much beauty. Thank you for your quiet respectful way of allowing us to culturally and appropriately honor our mother.“

Thank you to the entire staff for helping me and my family through a very difficult time.“

“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.“
