--- Our family…read morerecently had the profound need for the services of Alvarez Funeral Home after the loss of our loved one. To simply say they "handled the arrangements" would be a great injustice to the exceptional care and compassion we received. From the very first moment, Ms. Alvarez distinguished herself and her home from any other we have dealt with in the past. Where others felt transactional, she was deeply personal. She did not just see us as clients, but as a grieving family in need of guidance and support. Her patience, empathy, and genuine kindness were a steady comfort during the most difficult days of our lives. Ms. Alvarez took the time to listen--truly listen--to our stories, our wishes, and our worries. She helped us navigate every decision with grace, offering gentle suggestions while always honoring our desires. She removed the overwhelming burden of logistics and allowed us the space to simply be together and grieve. The personal touches and attention to detail made all the difference, creating a service that was a beautiful and authentic reflection of our loved one's life. What sets Alvarez Funeral Home apart is this heartfelt, human-centered approach. Ms. Alvarez and her entire staff provide more than a service; they provide a sanctuary of understanding and respect. They walked beside us, never ahead of us. To anyone facing the unimaginable, we cannot recommend Alvarez Funeral Home highly enough. Thank you, Ms. Alvarez, and to your wonderful staff, for your invaluable help and for treating our family with such dignity during our most difficult time. Your compassion made all the difference.

Great levels of hospitality and it is a warm, inviting environment.

Our family will be forever grateful to Damar-Kaminski Funeral Home & Crematorium for the…read moreextraordinary care and compassion they showed us during the most difficult time of our lives. Losing someone you love is never easy, but the way they guided us through every step brought comfort when we needed it most. From the very first conversation, Bogdan Gal treated us not just as clients, but as family. His kindness, patience, and genuine empathy meant more than words can express. He handled every detail of the arrangements for Joanna Bednarz's funeral with the utmost dignity and respect. The service was truly beautiful -- thoughtful, elegant, and perfectly reflective of Joanna's life and spirit. Bogdan's steady guidance helped us feel supported and reassured through every decision. We are also deeply thankful to Renia, whose warmth and understanding comforted us from the moment we walked through the doors. She was incredibly organized, responsive, and gentle in every interaction, making a painful process feel a little less overwhelming. A heartfelt thank you as well to Donna and the entire staff. Every single person we encountered showed compassion, professionalism, and sincere care. Their attention to detail and quiet support during the service did not go unnoticed. They created an atmosphere of peace and respect that allowed our family to grieve, remember, and honor Joanna in the most meaningful way. In a time filled with sorrow, Damar-Kaminski Funeral Home & Crematorium provided light, comfort, and dignity. We will never forget the beautiful service they created for Joanna or the compassion they showed our family. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us say goodbye with love and grace. May God Bless you all, Bednarz Family

My husband passed away on 5-31-20. I contact Andersen Funeral on a 6-2-20 and Monica since the…read morevery fist contact she was helpful and attentive by proving all the information needed. Always available and had an answer to every question I had. Very helpful and I believe that most of all very understanding. As you all know we are going through difficult times with the Covid-19. Other funeral homes were giving me a very hard time and they seemed overwhelmed with work and even making me upset to the point that I would end up crying. Monica instead gave me her full attention and to this point answers every call very politely. My husband's wake was 6-7-20 everything was how I would have wanted to be. Since my husband had all his family in Mexico they were able to provide a transmission of the ceremony via their Bormann Funeral Home website(same owner). Maybe in the very near future they can just have it directly through their own website address. Everyone in Mexico were able to view the ceremony online, and were very happy that they were able to say their goodbyes to my husband. It really felt as if they were present. This service can definitely be improve by increasing more light in the room so it can look less dark when it is been recorded live, just a few people told me about how it looked dark. I don't know how new this live recording is in the U.S but definitely it was truly appreciate it that they were able to provide that service. No extra cost! At other Funeral homes they are charging at least $80 dollars. My husband remains will be sent to Mexico, therefore I am still waiting for the consulate's office to give us the Go! It is not up to the funeral how fast that can be done. But do let me tell you, they take care of all the paperwork that needs to get done to make this possible. I will come back to this review and let you know what happen after that so you can have an idea of how lengthy it was, hoping is not. I am very optimistic. Andersen Funeral Home and staff, your are doing a very excellent job! And I thank you dearly for your hard work and dedication.

I am writing to formally express my profound disappointment and distress regarding a recent…read moreinteraction with Dalphine . Which has significantly compounded my family's grief during an already profound difficult period . The incident occurred when I attempted to obtain essential documentation pertaining to my parents funeral services.. as I lost both parents some time ago leaving a state of emotional vulnerability. My request was straightforward and I believe entirely reasonable. I sought to obtain copies of the Funeral service for both my mother and father. These documents are for my personal records and reference.. from a common and expected request from a greving next of kin. However my experience with Delphine was deeply upsetting. Unacceptable.. when I presented my request she unequivocally refused, asserted that I had not paid personally paid for a funeral services. Incorrectly claim that my Sister covered the expenses for my father's funeral. I must clarify that assertion is entirely false the cost of my father service directly through his estate. Beyond a factual inaccuracy Dalphine demeanor, was dismissive, unprofessional, and frankly rude to my establishment and dismay during our conversation. I believe I inherited the right to access these Vital records. Dolphine conduct was not only merely unhelpful insensitive and a complete dereliction of the compassionate support that Grieving families rightfully expect from a Funeral service provider. Her enormous claims and hostile attitude served only to escalate my distress and add to immense pain. I am already experiencing.. the core expectation from any establishment assisting families during difficult times of their loss is offering understanding, empathy and respectful service. Instead, I encounter such a profound lack of respect and professionalism is my view inexcusable for a funeral service.

And the person using the services will never rate it on Yelp or ever use Yelp again. We choose this location because it was the neighborhood my grandfather grew up in. We figured since all the neighbors knew him, then we should do it local for everyone. No issues here. Everything went off without a problem. The CTA blue line stops here at Chicago Ave. LAZ parking has a ton of spots right outside. There is a subway for a quick snack. And The Matchbox if you need a drink to get through the service. Also a CVS for some aspirins if you have a headache. So you are covered if you need anything.

We had some special requests to include some unique memorial cards and they came through. My dad who is a veteran was able to have a veterans honor which they did all the leg work setting that up and having current veterans there to present my mom with a flag. They had a beautiful video tribute with photos for my dad. And the best gift of all was how they prepared my father. He had been in the nursing home for the last two years but when we saw his body at the funeral home, he looked amazing. They had taken 5-7 years off of him and he looked natural, the way we remembered him and wanted to remember him. It was the best gift and blessing we could ask for.

My daughters lost their mother and I lost my soul mate very suddenly 8 weeks ago. We were…read moredevastated and didn't really know where to turn. One of my daughter's friends has lost her mother and recommended Inclusive Funeral Care. We we sat down with Russ Henrichsen to arrange transport from Glenbrook Hospital for eco-friendly water cremation. He asked if there was particular music my deceased wife enjoyed, to which I replied, the Bonnie Raitt & John Prine version of "Angel from Montgomery." The fact that they asked this question led me to believe that we had chosen wisely. We then had Brooke Benjamin serve as Memorial Celebrant for a Celebration of the Life of Kitty at Chicago Botanic Garden. She met with the family in one extensive 2-hour session that included the daughters, myself, the deceased's brother and sister, asking us questions about our beloved's childhood, family life, hobbies, education, political activism, etc. Even though Brooke had never met my wife, she really extracted her essence.... so much so that 10 people (of the 150 in attendance) asked me "Who was Kitty's friend who ran the ceremony?" Short of resurrecting the dead, the celebration simply could not have been better. Kitty is now in our niche in Graceland Cemetery. Brooke was also very accommodating in allowing us to design our own memorial cards--we fell behind a bit in planning the cards, but things came together at the last minute. If you are looking for funeral directors who present you with a set of options in understandable, plain-English, then Inclusive Funeral Care is for you. Brooke and Russ are really excellent people. They were never heavy handed, allowing us to choose the format of the program. When they offered suggestions we choose not to follow (e.g. having live musicians), there was never any sign of disappointment. I just can not find the words to express how grateful I am to Russ and Brooke at Inclusive Funeral Care.

From the moment we first contacted Inclusive Funeral Care, they treated our family with an…read moreextraordinary level of compassion, professionalism, and humanity during one of the most difficult times of our lives. A few days before my grandfather passed, I reached out to prepare for what we knew was coming. They spoke with me patiently, explained everything clearly, and never once made me feel pressured or overwhelmed. The night before his passing, and again the morning of, I kept them updated as his condition changed. When I finally called to let them know he had passed, they arrived at our home within approximately 45 minutes -- even before hospice arrived to officially pronounce him. Their staff handled my grandfather with such dignity and gentleness that it brought an incredible sense of peace to an otherwise heartbreaking moment. They were calm, respectful, organized, and compassionate not only toward him, but toward our entire family. I especially want to recognize Russ, who was our primary point of contact throughout this process. He truly went above and beyond for our family in every possible way. During an incredibly emotional and stressful time, Russ was patient, responsive, compassionate, and genuinely caring. He took the time to answer questions, explain options honestly, and help us navigate difficult decisions without ever making us feel pressured. His kindness and professionalism made a lasting impact on our family, and I genuinely do not know how we would have managed this process without his guidance and support. What stood out most was their honesty and willingness to truly work with us financially. Instead of upselling unnecessary services, they actively helped us cut costs wherever possible while still ensuring my grandfather was cared for respectfully. They guided us through applying for Social Security funeral assistance, explained every expense transparently, and even arranged a manageable payment plan when funds were tight. In a time where grief can make families vulnerable, Inclusive Funeral Care treated us with integrity, empathy, and kindness. They made an overwhelming process feel manageable and humane, and I will never forget the care they showed our family during such a painful chapter. I am deeply grateful for everything they did for my grandfather and for us.
