My wife passed away recently and her Father, Mother and Brother passed away in the mid 1980's. Kornick did the original memorials. I needed a headstone that matched the other 3 and I also needed a family marker carved with a name and design added to it. I stressed to Eric everything needed to match. The granite was special order and Eric took personal charge of my orders. He worked with me personally and sent me drawings which we revised and sent back and forth. Finally he sent me a pix of the family marker and it was an identical match. He went to the cemetary and took pictures along the way. Finally the head stone was finished and laid and he sent me more pictures. I felt confident of completion with Eric working with me. He sent documents along the way double and triple checking everything. It still a terrible time for me but Kornick Monuments and Eric Sommerfield has made my life a little easier.

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. But the main thing that made me so mad was the fact that they allowed A RANDOM PERSON TO TOUR OUR WAKE CEREMONY! 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. They only care about business, they have NO compassion and NO heart. They disrespected my Uncle and I truly suggest going anywhere but here. All they care about is money.

Living in the far North side of Chicago you are left with many options, and big name choices. Although, my intention is not to talk poorly of other funeral home, many left us feeling helpless due to pricing and limited option because they charged for EVERYTHING. From the moment our family walked in, Stuart made us feel comfortable and extended his condolences for our loss. We didn't feel as though we were just another opportunity to make a sale. Stuart and Laura took care of everything, and by I mean everything they did just that. They helped us save money by educating us with options and choices, and providing us with a beautiful funeral for our Father. The staff was friendly and compassionate to our loved ones. The funeral home was clean, offered privacy since it only handled one funeral at a time, and accommodated all of friends and family. I honestly do not write reviews, and felt Benson Family funeral home truly deserved 5 stars. Thank you Stuart and Laura.

He was way too young. One thing I found was how much he impacted so many people. The funeral home was packed w/friends & family attending the funeral. This funeral home operates in a very questionable manner. They have a link to buy a tree or a grove of trees in lieu of flowers. Naturally this is a very nice gesture as flowers die but when I asked & numerous other people asked who was providing the trees & where the trees were being planted the owner of Benson could not provide INFORMATION on who was providing the trees or where the groves were to be planted? Hmmmm soof fishy to me that the owner of the nursing home has no information on who or where the trees are coming from or where they're being planted? They were suppose to provide a live stream of the service for guests that were out of town or the country & couldn't make the service. The live stream stopped part way through the service so many of the people who couldn't attend the service missed it. No refund or partial refund was given. As soon as the service was over they were hustling people out of the funeral home. Uhhh nothing like letting a grieving family mourn their loss. My sister in law went into the kitchen to grab a bite to eat & they had everything wrapped up & she was told she couldn't take anymore food (WTF?). In their haste to get out of the funeral home they collected all the cards off of the flowers & brought them to the back. We had NO IDEA who gave the flowers or if any of the cards were missing or if there was any money or checks inside the envelopes so it made it difficult to properly thank the individuals. I'm not saying they did but it's very odd that they rushed the end of a somber event & took everything in the back, property that doesn't belong to them. Just a poorly run funeral home that really lacks compassion for a grieving family. We had many guests from out of state & a few friends from other countries that came to pay their respects for my nephew. I have never experienced the lack of compassion or been rushed to leave that this funeral home displayed or some of the practices that they have. This funeral home leaves a lot to be desired.
