Greg's knowledge of the Asian culture and Catholic tradition was very helpful in guiding me though making the proper decision for my mom's funeral. He was very honest and accommodating. He provided suggestions that suited our needs and budget. Dealing with a death of a family member is always difficult, however, I felt very fortunate that Greg was there to assist me in planning for my mom's funeral event which lasted for 3 -4 days. The flowers from Lee were amazing. We got lots of compliments from our guests. I asked for a hint of purple in the bouquet on top of mom's casket and he did just that. Thanks Asian Funeral Home Service (aka Cooney Funeral Home) for making this tough path an easier one to walk on. read more

Greg did an excellent job helping us manage my dad's wake and funeral with a traditional Chinese funeral service held yesterday. His understanding of the Chinese customs makes the service goes smoothly from the funeral home to the cemetery. He and his team personally see it through the burial with the cemetery staff to give us peace of mind when laying my dad to rest. On top of these, Greg helped us complete the public aid request for some reimbursement to ease up our financial burden during this difficult time. I couldn't thank him enough for their excellent work, support, and for going above and beyond. Thank you Greg! read more

My mother in law passed away recently in Chicago. We called Greg for help. Their service fee is very fair and reasonable. He and his crew are so familiar with Asian customs and handled the services smoothly. We would like to give them a ten stars review if we could. Thank you so much for your help. Greg. read more

Greg was very helpful in helping my family hold a small funeral for my father. Although he is not Asian, he was very respectful and knowledgeable of Asian customs and went above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks to Greg, he made this difficult time a bit easier. read more

If you're not Asian, don't let that word drive you away from Asian Funeral Services. Greg's niche is the non-traditionaI market, (even attention to that detail for families in grief says a lot about the heart of Greg's company). I met Greg not quite 2 months ago when we talked about his company's marketing. In June, I reached back out amidst my personal grief journey with my mother. Greg was top-of-mind, but I'd say we got lucky because Asian Funeral's services were nothing but top-notch: from my initial phone call to the end of the funeral services, and beyond. Details from calling the restaurant with a headcount post-funeral to pallbearer boutonnieres (there were even a couple extra), from advise on practicality of casket costs to even advising on price "breaks"for a chapel vs. grave-site option. And the list goes on. Greg really takes care of your family when all you want to do is ... grieve. He saved us at least $6,000! Mom's Catholic services didn't need Greg's expertise in the non-traditional, but we were really fortunate to have selected Greg at such a turmoil-filled time. Asian Funeral Services come VERY highly recommended! read more

Wonderful services and flexible. Greg has great business skills, he is efficient and resourceful. Our family is so thankful he helped us through the hard times. He is an angel to us. A blessing in disguise. Thank you again for the spectacular services. read more

My review is long overdue, as I was settling with my father's estate. I need to first state that I never write reviews; I felt Asian Funeral Services deserves a review. I cannot express what a good decision it was to go with Asian Funeral Services. The level of service, attention, and respect that Greg gave our family is top notch. This is by far, the best decision you will make when considering your funeral service needs, especially if you need to send your loved one to Asia. When my father passed away suddenly, we had to quickly find a funeral home that could attend to all of our needs, including a church service in Milwaukee and fly my father's body to Vietnam. We called several funeral homes, and Asian Funeral Services came as a recommendation from St. Henry's Catholic Church in Vietnam. When I contacted Greg, he came up to Milwaukee the next day realizing how time was the essence. He sat down with my mom, explained the entire process, listened, and was very patient with her, respecting that she was in mourning. This greatly eased our mines that we made the right choice. My mom picked a casket from a wide selection available, and she was thoroughly proud of her choice. All throughout the process, Greg informed us of every little detail and made sure we were informed of each step in the timeline. He took care of everything and every detail. This is extremely important as my family and I were in mourning; any additional work on us would make the entire process stressful. We greatly appreciate how much Greg took care of everything. The funeral service here in Milwaukee was perfect and flawless. Greg showed up early, explained each step of how the casket would be brought in, how the services and visitation would be performed, and was very patient with us. He also explained in great detail how we were to handle the casket and my father's body when arrived in Vietnam. The experience that Greg has with international funeral services was evident. He is knowledgeable with this process, which made granting the release and transport of my father's body into Vietnam through Vietnamese Embassy, effortless and with no hiccups. It was so perfect that when my father's body went through Vietnam Customs, with the paperwork and the funeral services in Vietnam being spot on, his body was released in 15 minutes. In Vietnam, this was unheard of. I've heard horror stories of bodies being held up for several days/weeks, even a month. My relatives in Vietnam were very impressed. My father's body and face were well preserved and representative of his great character. Because Asian Funeral Services did a great job with embalming, there was no need for further preservation in Vietnam, which again, is unheard of for the folks in Vietnam. It was so well preserved that even after 100 days of burial, where tradition requires the tombstone to be constructed, there were no bad odors of decay. Again, unheard of in Vietnam. The tombstone workers complimented profusely of how much there were no atrocious, unbearable odors. After our family came back to the USA, Greg called me to see how our family was doing. Again, another sign of the care and thoroughness that Greg shows. Overall, I cannot express how much Asian Funeral Services was the best choice we made. You cannot go wrong. read more

My mom passed away less than a month ago. And Greg handled my mom's funeral professionally with kindness. One of my sister who is in late sixties said she is hoping Greg is around when she passes away so he can take care of her funeral. Five star endorsement from my family! read more

Throughout the course of my father's battle with cancer, we never once sat down to discuss funeral arrangements. When someone you love passes away, the whirlwind of activity that happens immediately afterwards can be extremely overwhelming. Sadly, many funeral homes will capitalize on a family's grief and encourage them to do things that might end up being costly and would add no real value to the experience of the grieving as they say goodbye to their loved one. Asian Funeral Services was invaluable when my father passed away. Greg is extremely familiar with Asian/Buddhist customs and acted as a guide and an advocate for our family. We couldn't have asked for a more understanding, organized, and compassionate person to help us handle funeral arrangements. Because we felt confident in Greg's abilities, we were able to let go of many of the daunting logistics of funeral arrangements which left us with more time to be together as a family during a deeply painful time. read more

This is a long overdue review for Greg. One of my dear friend's mother passed away this morning and I was telling her that Greg was so knowledgeable and how he helped my family through this difficult time. I searched everywhere to find his number and found this page. Here's my story. My Mother passed away back in March 2009, we needed help and guidance for her arrangements. Greg was recommended by our family because he was very professional and did his job very well. He had just helped arrange my aunt's funeral in January 2009. I contacted Greg, we met him that afternoon at Lawrence Funeral Home and got everything taken care of very quickly. He knew more of the intricate buddhism details then we did, which was a ton of help. He has a great wealth of knowledge and explains in great detail to help you understand the whole process. We are very grateful to have Greg help us through that time, made it a very nice memory of my Mother for my family and I. read more
