Many Chicagoland Cantonese Chinese are buried here and the Chinese section is a large part of the…read morecemetery but by no means the only one.   Most of the Chinese are here because the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of Chicago in Chinatown has for many years leased land from Mount Auburn Cemetery and then re-leases burial plots to Chinese families.  The first Chinese burial here was in 1922. Buried here are my own father and both paternal grandparents as well as numerous in-law relatives.   So coming here for an annual remembrance visit or another burial is just a natural part of life for us and always has been.    My limited dealings with staff here has been fine.  The Chinese section has a small pagoda-like altar that you won't find in any other cemetery.  The grounds are kept clean.  There's nothing you can do if there's been a recent big rain, as the grounds will be soaked and there will be muddy puddles here and there.  It's not an ornate or picturesque cemetery by any means and it's located in the blue collar town of Stickney (not a knock but just saying).  It's also right under nearby Midway's flight paths, so low flying planes during any visit should not surprise you.  Much like Wrigley Field, no matter the apparent weather everywhere else, it's always colder and windy here and feels 10-15F colder for some reason.  It's just the nature of a visit here.   Overall though, they have done the job for us over the years.  Thank you.

There were no cemeteries that permitted burials of Chinese decedents many years ago until the…read moresisters that owned Mount Auburn decided to sell a large section of their cemetery to the Chinese. It is in this large section of Mount Auburn in which a vast majority of Chicagoland Chinese are buried. The section sold to the Chinese is managed by the Ong Leong Association in Chicago's Chinatown. Burials plots and gravestones must be purchased through the Ong Leong Association. Four generations of my family are buried in Mount Auburn. The Ong Leong built an altar monument for the Chinese who can burn offerings to the departed in the next life. There are many Chinese who celebrate their deceased on the one remembrance day.

Please educate yourselves! Lengthy but worth the read…read more My mother passed away last week Wednesday (3/22/2023). It fills my heart with sorrow to learn how people, in such vulnerable mental state, are taken advantage of. The prices for a certification of death are absolutely out of line. I can only imagine how much profit they gain from all of this. Below is the breakdown of prices for the certified death certificates from Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Division of Vital Records vs Kuratko-Nosek Funeral Home and Cremation Services. For clear reasons, I was in a frágil state of mind, and failed to add an alias name on my mom's certificate. I called the next day, and was able to make the correction. No problem. Upon pickup, I was charged an additional $70. IDPH Division of Vital Records Certified Death Certificate -1st copy $19 Additional Copies-$4 Corrections /legal name change-$15 Additional Copies-$2 Kuratko-Nosek Funeral Home and Cremation Services Certified Death Certificate -1st copy $50 Additional Copies-$10 Corrections /legal name change-$50 Additional Copies-$10 Source: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://dph.illinois.gov/content/dam/soi/en/web/idph/files/resources/resources-obtain-birth/death-certificate/fee-schedule.pdf__;!!Bj3pJzH8i9PN1EsMi1am!wNYE8fpeKEodP3mXTjQfmyNM0RQYCsFncDsoeeL1xq7kvKfdj9ZHM2fe97N8q8CTjgijrcMtoZdi3jjE_RVrbPyU1KHaUVw6r5b1$ Yesterday (3/30/2023), a woman by the name of Nina, calls to apologize and tell me how they do not make any profit from the certificates (only the services and other items). All in all, I feel ripped off and taken advantage of by Kuratko-Nosek Funeral Home and Cremation Services. I cannot express this enough, do you research. It's uncomfortable, I know, but reality is that death is inevitable.

The updates are great, sleek, modern and homey all rolled into one. Frank, his wife, and staff treat you like family, and everything ran like a well oiled machine. I personally loved to see a designated "cookie room" as well as an outdoor option to sit, and as a native Midwesterner, I'm always looking for options to be outside. All around great experience, no one wants to have to use a funeral home, but if you do, this is the place to use for your loved one.

We had to bring our deceased loved one from CA to Chicago and thanks to them the process was completely smooth and without any issues. We felt lost, this being the first funeral we ever had, and they walked us through the entire process with such care and dedication we felt we were family. Their compassion and their attention to detail is something we will never forget. They made every effort to accomodate our wishes and help with our grieving guests to the extent that restrictions for Covid allowed. Their prices are very reasonable and honestly, we are grateful they are the kind of family business that is there for you when you are in such a vulnerable situation. They never once pushed any add ons we didnt need, and kept our budget precisely as we needed. Honest, hard working, caring people. We were lucky to find them at such a difficult time. Highly recommend them to anyone that needs funeral services.

I often passed here and wondered how it looked and now i know. Just a quant funeral parlor that reminds me of a time long ago. It is simple enough to hold the at least 100 people here today. It's often a sad occasion but when you have a funeral home that goes above and beyond to make sure the family is comforted, that is amazing to see. I cant speak of the value of this funeral home but I'm sure it's pretty much competitive to others in the area. Just a wonderful service indeed. I thanked them for the kindness they have shown to the patrons. Parking is ample and two sides of the building gave you enough space. Handicapped also, and I was surprised they have many handicap spaces. The kitchen area also will hold a lot of patrons and is very beautifully decorated. Modern with a touch of vintage. I know the family was very happy with the service and that is the important part.
