Obviously, planning a funeral is no fun for anyone but the deceased and family should be honored and respected. This woman lacked any respect. Most of my family lives by the city, wicker park to be exact and later we come to find out they have another location in the city which this Sarah chick neglected to inform us. When we originally had called we spoke to a man and he set us up to meet with this woman. You would think they would make it easier on the family not to travel ways far when there is a closer location and offer us that option! Families, if you have no other option but to go here make sure you ask all the right questions and make them clean before you go thru the embarrassment of having a wake at a filthy place. I guess we get what we pay for! Simple as that.

I have never dealt directly with the owners except in conversation here and there and am in no hurry to make my funeral arrangements, but it's a part of life, so here it is.... This is where I would want my wake/funeral to be held. The employees/owners are nothing but professional. When people are here, it's not for anything good, but they make it their top priority to make sure everything is handled in a professional manner. They realize that it's not supposed to be a good time, but they don't make you feel uncomfortable for crying in their hall ways, if necessary. People pass on and this is where we will see them for the last time. It's nice to know that they care. They have recently remodeled their kitchen area and it's very nice. This is where the boys tend to hang out when we're here. There is a small fridge, sink, plenty of counter space, coffee/tea, etc. We are usually here for 6+ hours when we are here and you have to eat, so it's nice to have a place to do so. They have two rooms. We have been in the main room for most of our needs that I can recall. It's very clean, doesn't smell funny like some other places (yes, I'm putting that out there because they deserve credit for that), and comfortable. They have the ability to put the obituary on their webpage along with all arrangements and we have found that sending out that link is the fastest/easiest way to pass the info along to friends/family that need the details. Technology is wonderful, isn't it? There are plenty of nearby restaurants for a bite before or after you are here and I have a tendency to end up across the street at my fave bar in Elmhurst: Spring Inn. And after years of spending time at Spring, I can tell you that many people make their way over there from the funeral home at some point. Who doesn't need a cocktail after being here?

Even funeral homes deserve to be reviewed on Yelp.com…read more In this case, Pomierski & Son Funeral Home is a timeless gem to behold. I just happened to stumble upon Pomierski & Son Funeral Home while delivering funeral flowers for a very old friend of mine, whose brother had passed away. I was greeted by Felice, one of the owners that helped me with the flowers I had brought for the wake. She was a lovely, kind and a very professional business lady. Immediately, I felt welcomed by one of the owners, even though I was only a vendor coming in the rear entrance with a floral delivery. If someone is this kind at the back flower delivery door, just imagine how empathetic and wonderful they must be to deal with if you are a bereaved family member. I can just tell, this place treats its customers very well and regards them highly. So, after delivering the flowers through the back... I went in the front door to pay my respects to the family of their deceased brother. After speaking with family members, I became so overwhelmed at the true beauty of the interior of this funeral parlor. My eyes were taking in all the glorious, well preserved woodwork, stained glass, sculptured plaster treatments dating back to before the 1920's. I was just amazed at the mint condition and the care that this funeral home has taken to keep all this fine craftsmanship of skilled artisans, whose trades have probably long disappeared, in such an extraordinarily flawless manner. I was struck with awe. I can't imagine a soul, not appreciating the architectural majesty that this unsuspecting funeral home has preserved for all of us to behold to this very day. Anyone with the least bit of respect for the past, surely would appreciate such a treasure as not to disrespect its place in time and history. I must compliment this funeral home for holding onto such a gem without giving sway to the many trends and fads of past decades. The calls to remodel and modernize over the years, must have been plentiful. For in such logic, all of this fine quality workmanship, in impeccable condition would have been destroyed forever. Thank you!... Pomierski Family for preserving history. Felice was so nice to talk with me further, at length, inside and point out the hand carved angels that are part of this unique interior. The angels are her favorite touch, I can tell. I would have taken pictures but with a wake in progress, I could not have done so. I will be back.... to visit and take a few photographs of this remarkable and very functioning funeral home in the heart of Bridgeport. What a breathtaking find! If you're gonna go anytime soon, check out this funeral home and go out in style! Pomierski & Son Funeral Home is a fabulous funeral home to behold.

This establishment was extremely disrespectful of the grieving family. They expressed zero empathy…read moretowards the privacy of those mourning, and were incredibly pushy about their time restraints, even though yelp says they are a 24 hour open business. Here is a list of the things they did that were extremely unprofessional and unsympathetic. - As I was saying my final goodbyes to mi Tia: a tall, white, male manager with white hair insisted on interrupting my time with her to try and "clean up her jewelry" to give to the immediate family. - As we were reminiscing with fond memories de mi Tia, he interrupted someones story by reminding us that it was 7:55 and that the family had only paid to be there until 8. - As someone was in the bathroom before leaving, one of the staff members pounded on the door of the bathroom to get them to leave as soon as possible - The staffs overall demeanor felt closed off and rude. Even during their interactions with the family, and the blatant displeased reactions to said interactions, it felt as though they either couldn't pick up social cues, or simply didn't care enough to hide their urgency. Though I am understanding that the job of a funerary home director holds a heavy weight on ones conscience and requires a steadfast demeanor, it also requires empathy, compassion, and patience, none of which I felt during this wake. Though I was dealing with the grief of my Tia, the treatment of the staff made me feel as though our grief was nothing but a paycheck to them. Though this may not be everyone's experience, please keep in mind that how this establishment treats the grief of others isn't subjective to one family.

After I posted the same review on google maps Mr Pietryka found a way to remove his negative…read morereviews from there and now he shows up as a 5-star business. This is not true. Yelp doesn't allow businesses to remove the reviews so you will find here more accurate reviews. I chose this funeral home to transport casket to Poland. Through the whole complex process there were many mistakes, poor communication and poor execution. Below I provided some of the examples of Pietryka Funeral Home professional negligence: - The death certificate had to be corrected TWICE because Pietryka funeral home submitted wrong information - as basic as the birthdate of a deceased person, marital status and a county for the address. It's really perplexing how a funeral home couldn't handle correctly their basic responsibility. - After reviewing an initial quote I realized that Mr Pietryka charged me for services not performed and I had to request a credit. I received the credit but it is appalling to take advantage of people in such a painful life circumstances. - Mr Pietryka picks up every phone call, but I have never received a phone call back nor I was informed at any point about the progress of formalities. The phone calls with Mr. Pietryka were quick and dismissive. For example, I was told that death certificate will be completed Monday afternoon, but it was completed on Friday and they didn't inform me about it. They started sending it out to other parties with wrong information (including Polish authorities). I found out about it on Tuesday, and the first mistake was corrected on Wednesday causing a delay in processing all of the formalities that needed to be resubmitted. - Pietryka funeral home assured me that the casket can be open in Poland. But later, while I was already in Poland, I found out from their transportation partner that the Polish law doesn't allow that. How come the funeral home doesn't know the law (in business they claim to be for 20+ years) is beyond me. That was the first thing that their transportation partner told me when I was with them on the phone. - Mr Pietryka gave me wrong information about the final delivery date in Poland (he didn't know how the logistics of their transportation partner work). - Pietryka funeral home did not once call me or took responsibility for handling communication with their transportation partner. I had to call them separately for information and clarifications. There were other conflicting information coming from their transportation partner vs what Mr. Pietryka initially told me (too morbid to describe here). - I had to request an invoice twice after they charged me and I got one a week later (invoice was needed for some formalities). Pietryka's professional negligence and failure to perform basic tasks is staggering. I worried about many things that I shouldn't be worried during this difficult time. I paid a lot of money for an "expert" to handle formalities but as it turned out they were failing at basic tasks, lacking basic knowledge, compassion, sensitivity and decency in this most challenging moment of my life. There is no do-overs in the last journey of a loved one. And once they get you they know you can't change it. I wish I had chosen a different funeral home to help me say final goodbye to my mother. I didn't feel that my mom's final journey was handled in a respectful and honorable manner causing even more pain in this already painful life circumstances. I received a few recommendations for Wojchechowski funeral home, unfortunately, it was after I already started business with Pietryka. Maybe it will be helpful for those who are reading this comment and don't know other alternatives.

Not only was there NO WORKER in sight most of the time, but we had to ask them numerous times to actually do what they were supposed to do during the wake.

I understand showing the empty rooms but DO NOT ALLOW SOMEONE TO WALK IN AND TOUR AN ACTIVE WAKE CEREMONY. And yes, I heard the worker tell the woman who was touring, "yeah absolutely take a look inside". HOW DARE YOU!! And when we addressed the issue, the acted as if it wasn't a big deal.
