While office work was efficient, the experience with viewing was exceptionally disappointing…read more Despite my providing a photo board early, my family member didn't appear normal with his mouth stretched. His skin was actually gray-without color- and had gray blotches on his cheeks. It didn't look like him. A rosary was added without permission. Family members were not allowed to enter at the beginning of the viewing until the person who made arrangements arrived. The ordered food through Geisen was there but not opened for guests, who were unsure if it was for them or was to be taken back to the house. Guests also had trouble finding the guest book to sign as it was placed behind an open door. The person in charge continues to be there and though she was apologetic, her leadership for the experience doesn't replace the experience which should have been a different one for a grieving family.

My family found this business to be unprofessional, unethical, and uncompassionate…read more Although the website seems to imply that your loved one is cremated at their facility, they actually are only a middle man and your family member is actually taken to Illinois. When we called to see where we stood with having our moms cremation done, since it had been a week, we were told that the hold up was because of paper work but that our mom "was ready to go". My sister called to voice her frustration with how long the process was taking and was told, "we are just as upset as you are". Highly unlikely. After commenting on their unprofessionalism they hung up on her. During the hardest days of our lives this business and the people who work there made it so much worse.

Despicable!!!!!! I visit this cemetery 2 or 3 times a year…read morebecause a number of my family members are buried here. I visited on Memorial today to honor my family and was horrified at the condition of the cemetery. I am sure that the cemetery had not been mowed in a week as the grass was quite high overall. The worst was that the grass between and behind stones was 18 to 24 inches in height in many of the areas where my family is buried on the north east side. Garbage cans were heaped with refuse overflowing the containers and on the ground. My grandparents purchased this property along with a number of other relatives, uncles, aunts, cousins etc. with the promise that there graves would be taken care of in perpetuity, that promise is not being fulfilled. The one day of the year that extreme efforts should be taken to make sure the graves and the inhabitants should be honored and the family members should be happy to know they chose the right place to be buried. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME, on the company that now owns this cemetery.

I would say she is one of nicest human beings I have ever met. I never once felt uncomfortable. She was soothing and had a kind and warm energy to her. She was charismatic and I can not stress enough so kind. In a very difficult time the last thing you want is to deal with anyone rude or unthoughtful and I was just blown away by the service we got here. She went above and beyond. She went through everything with us and made great suggestion and was great at explaining everything. And when I had to ID my father before cremation she took the time to put a little make up on him to make him look normal and I cannot express how much I deeply appreciate that. It's like I got to see my dad nice and peaceful one last time and I can never thank her enough for that. The thoughtfulness that was put behind that is so worth mentioning. And after the funeral she even made my mother and I little containers with dried flowers from the funeral and the stones we had. I mean just so much compassion and consideration for us. And I know she has to deal with grieving people all the time and it must be exhausting but for her to do the little things along with the big things made the difference for me. There was also a taller white male who worked with her and although I didn't see him often whenever I did he was kind, professional and great at his job as well. I would recommend this place to anyone. People like violet make things go by just a little smoother in such a terrible time and those people deserve all the recognition there is.

It was noticed by several family members and he will always be remembered that way.

I can only speak for the character of the management of this funeral home, which is clearly…read morelacking. This funeral home has a small parking lot across the street that holds perhaps a dozen cars. Additionally, there is a large, mostly empty, town lot less than one block away. Baran and Son funeral home, however, also believes that they own all of the parking along 119th street as well. This morning, they sent the police to bang on doors in the neighborhood and demand that people move their cars so that the funeral home could also use the street. Do you know what else would achieve this same result and be less traumatic than having the police banging down the doors of the local elderly at 8am? PUT UP A FLIPPING SIGN the night before. Just put up a sign asking people not to park. Also, you have "no parking" pylons that I have seen...those would also work. Place them in the parking spaces the night before. OR if you wanted to actually be a good representation of the Christian Soldiers that your obnoxious church bells proclaim you to be, you could try being a good neighbor, directing your guests to the city lot that is literally 2 minutes away, and not demanding ownership of the entire street. I am actually appalled that the Whiting police complied and took the time to shake down the block to demand cars be moved. What a small-town embarrassment this is all around. Shame on everyone involved. #policestateusa
