This funeral home is an absolute disgrace. The owner is culturally incompetent, hostile, and…read morebelligerent, particularly toward families of color. At no point was there compassion, professionalism, or basic human decency. Even during the ceremony, multiple guests felt and witnessed the owner's cold, dismissive behavior, which was deeply inappropriate and hurtful. They withhold critical information, refuse to explain how their facility operates, and behave as though grieving families are not entitled to transparency or respect. When families ask reasonable questions or advocate for themselves, they are intimidated, threatened, and spoken to aggressively. This is not care--it is control. Our loved one's body was mishandled, and we were denied the right to see him, as if this funeral home believed they had ownership over his body rather than understanding the sacred responsibility entrusted to them. This decision alone caused irreparable emotional harm to our family. The facility felt unsanitary, disorganized, and unsafe, raising serious concerns about hygiene, health standards, and basic compliance. Nothing about this environment felt dignified or respectful. What was clear is that this establishment is predatory--they will squeeze every possible dollar out of grieving families, exploiting pain for profit. This funeral home creates trauma instead of providing care. They add suffering to families already experiencing unimaginable loss. Their behavior is unethical, harmful, and completely unacceptable. During the ceremony, instead of checking in with all family members, they only acknowledged those who "hired" them--directly contradicting what they advertise on their own website. I strongly warn everyone--especially families of color--to stay far away from this establishment. They should be reported immediately to the health department, state licensing boards, and consumer protection agencies for their conduct, conditions, and treatment of grieving families. No one deserves to be verbally abused, silenced, or retraumatized while trying to lay their loved one to rest. This establishment needs to learn how to treat and speak to all family members with dignity and respect. They are also deleting post from their google review to hide their despicable treatment.

Of all the places I called, I'm so glad we went with them. Joe was incredibly compassionate and answered our phone calls anytime we had questions. He opened shop early one morning for us. Dorothy also communicated clearly with me and she worked hard to make sure we got the paperwork we needed in a timely fashion. They were quick, efficient, and affordable. My mom was too distressed to go pick up the cremains, so we were able to send a family friend instead (We gave them a heads up and it was no trouble).

I traveled from out of state to Illinois to plan my father's memorial service with this funeral…read morehome. During the planning process, I worked with Josh, who was professional, compassionate, and extremely helpful. I am grateful for his care. Unfortunately, the conduct of the owner, John Maher, during the service was highly inappropriate and unprofessional. While I was delivering the eulogy, Mr. Maher--who appeared intoxicated and smelled strongly of alcohol--interrupted multiple times, shouting phrases such as "Charleston Chews." He continued to disrupt when Pastor Jaime led the prayer. Afterward, Mr. Maher took the floor, spoke incoherently, left, and then returned to speak again. At one point, he came within a foot of my 8-year-old daughter, slapped his own arm, and yelled, "He is in your blood." Many guests later approached me in shock, asking who he was and why he was present. After the service, Pastor Jaime asked me to extend grace, explaining that Mr. Maher suffered from PTSD but was generally considered reliable. Several staff members also privately expressed concern, stating they had never seen him in such a condition, and later contacted me to ask if I had been able to reach him, as they could not. They voiced worry that his behavior might recur at another upcoming service. I spoke directly with Mr. Maher, who was initially defensive but assured me my satisfaction was "paramount" and that he would review my bill for reimbursement. After numerous follow-ups, I received communication from his business partner and attorney, who sent me a non-disclosure agreement (with my father's name incorrectly listed) requiring my silence in exchange for a refund. In an email, Kevin stated that upon signing, the refund would be processed within 24 hours. Against my better judgment, and because I wished to give the funeral home the opportunity to improve, I signed the agreement. It has now been more than 80 days since the service, and no refund has been provided. Instead, I received an email from Mr. Maher, containing multiple typographical errors, stating that there would be no refund and implying suspicion of my intentions. I need to be clear: I only signed their agreement because I genuinely wanted to give this funeral home the opportunity to take responsibility and improve. But their failure to follow through, combined with the behavior we experienced at my father's memorial, shows a lack of accountability and respect for grieving families. A loss is already difficult enough without the last memory of a loved one's service being overshadowed by an intoxicated, disruptive funeral home owner. Families deserve compassion, professionalism, and dignity during such a painful time--not this

They also were able to get all of our official documentation information filled out at that moment as well. We had the basic cremation package which allowed us a 30 minute viewing. The space was clean and allowed us some private time with my mom before she was cremated. Receiving her remains and death certificate was also very efficient. We received both a couple business days after the viewing. Thank you for making a difficult life event pain free and simple. That was very important for us as we grieved.
