He really was patient and kind while in our time of hurt to direct everything to help run smoothly, in addition to Karen. The flyers of the luncheon information passed out at the end were so thoughtful, on top of Karen calling the restaurant ahead of time with a more precise headcount. We didn't even ask for this - they were steps ahead! They also worked to pack up everything we needed to pick up after the interment. And Michael gave me a copy of my dad's prayer card from years ago when I mentioned I may have misplaced mine after moving twice since then. I was so speechless and touched. What an amazing, compassionate team! I can't thank you enough from the bottom of our hearts. I hope no one has to frequent any funeral home (since it would mean loved ones have passed away), but this is definitely the place I would choose over and over again.

The most difficult moment in our life is when our mother passed away. We struggled to accept that…read moreeven when she was already unconscious at the hospital, we still didn't decide to make arrangements. Therefore, when she actually took her last breath, we didn't know what to do. We wanted the place to be centralized where our family and friends would be able to come to the wake. There were two places we had in mind but this place took our breath away when we entered. They have other locations but the Roselle location made us feel like it's home. We spoke with Anne at the Roselle location and she spoke with us like we are family. It helped a lot when we are grieving and very emotional. Since there was no appointment scheduled, she directed us to Bartlett so we can speak with the funeral director. We drove to Bartlett which was only few minutes away. We spoke with Tim and we have no words for him but infinite gratitude and appreciation. He made us feel like family from the start to the very end and offered a lot of extras that would cost us in other places. On the day of the wake, we saw mom like she was just sleeping. I felt emotional and hugged Tim for making mom look a lot like herself. Her make-up was not cakey like others we have seen. He helped us put mom's jewelries and the rosary the we brought and gave us the one that they already had on her hands. Tim gave us the time we needed before visitors started pouring in. He made himself available just in case we needed anything. We also met the owner Mark. We met him like we have known him all along. When visitors started pouring in, they had no words but she looked beautiful like she always does. They had full staff the night of her wake which we were quite surprised and very impressed at the same time. Their lounge is quite big to accommodate everyone that is only our own. We didn't have to share the room with anyone. At the time, there was another funeral in the other room and we didn't even know they were there. They had tables, refrigerator and free beverages that includes coffee, water and soda. Everyone that came complimented us on how nice and accommodating everyone is at Countryside. It's the best service they have seen so far. They were there like family, welcoming everyone. On the day of the funeral, we were once again surprised and impressed on how organized it was. Now, the funeral director with us was John and a couple more staff directing what's needed. They are the same as the rest, very comforting and accommodating. We drove to St Isidore for the mass and everything turned out better than we expected. The time we were leaving the church, it was pouring very hard and yet, we still could not find anything to complain about. Everything turned out like how mom would have wanted it. There was one glitch tho where they forgot to give us the green bag with the thank you cards and book but not that much of a big deal to dent our appreciation of everything they did. We had mom cremated therefore at the time of cremation, they allowed us to see her one last time and there was no charge. Other places charge $300 to do so. They also have their own crematory which made us feel comfortable ensuring we will get mom's ashes instead of someone else's. They can only cremate one body at a time so that gave us assurance, her ashes is the only ashes we are getting. We will be forever grateful to their good service that we made the best decision when it counted the most.

My beloved son, Quinn died last Wednesday at the age of 30. From the moment I called Barr and spoke with Tim, I knew I had absolutely nothing to worry about in making my son's final arrangements. My boy died in Minnesota. Tim, without a second thought, drove all day to go collect my boy and bring him back to Chicago. Tim, with great care and compassion took care of every detail. He guided my family and myself with such care. During the wake and funeral mass, Tim stood vigil with us, keeping his eye on all goings on, quitely in the background, ensuring all were talking care of and that events went smoothly. We are beyond grateful for Tim, Joan and the entire Barr Funeral Home family. Thank you so very much Tim and Joan for standing by us and making the saddest moment of our lives one we bare. Your handling the details and arraignments allowed us to completely focus on celebrating the life if our dear Quinnie and begin the grieving process. Megan, Steve and family

I realized at the tour this was not the facility I wanted to use so I asked the owner how the body would be transferred to the home I did want to use to which he informs me " oh we don't have the body" I was shocked. I was not informed his body was never picked up. In fact the day he passed he informed me his body would be picked up. Months later I attend a funeral for a friend and we were waiting for the ashes for the mass. I was asked to call to see the ETA so I called and the answering service said " Tim is on vacation, he says their is a miscommunication." HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN!!!! Do not use them.

--- 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.
