They lied ,gave us false information concerning government sponsored crime victim's funds, made false promises, price gouged , missed and re-scheduled appointments on short notice while out right playing on our grief and lack of experience. Every time we complained about one of the funeral directors ,they'd give us another director who would reassure us only to repeat this vicious, insensitive and blood-thirsty cycle all over again . And when we thought it couldn't get any worse, after arranging a viewing of the body for the night before the funeral and after billing us almost $10,000.00, they refused us the viewing and ended up sticking us in the smallest chapel they could have possibly found. These people/merchants have no compassion!

My family has acquired Chicago's Seals Funeral Home for services for more than 40 years, and up…read moreuntil today we've never had a problem. The late Mr. Clarence Seals (proprietor and owner) has been like member of the family providing A+ guidance and services during some of the most difficult times in our lives. As world-wide pandemic COVID-19 continued, we unfortunately lost my aunt at the age of 82 on April 18, 2020. Although her death was not due to the virus but another illness, several years ago she undoubtedly requested that Seals Funeral Home handle her final arrangements (just as her late husband and other countless family members requested). Everything was pre-paid in full. Due to the pandemic her wishes could not be granted for a funeral service with attendees and a memorial celebration would have to take place at a later time. It was agreed that a burial service with three family members, the pastor and six pallbearers would take place at the cemetery. On April 27, 2020 at 10:45 am everyone had arrived and ready to commence at 11:00 am. Everyone except the hearse bearing my aunt's body that is. The cemetery informed us prior that once we arrived, we could not leave our vehicles for safety reasons. At 11:20 am and fearing a problem with the hearse had occurred, I contacted Seals Funeral Home. When an older woman answered the phone I explained the situation and asked nicely if there was a problem. This woman began yelling at me and telling me that she didn't know what the problem was and that we would have to wait; the hearse will arrive shortly. I immediately assumed that my aunt's goddaughter must've called before me and asked the same question because I later discovered she received the same rude response. Who knew? We're sequestered in our cars waiting. This woman at Seals was yelling so loudly that my husband could hear and asked what was wrong with her. I could not get one word in as this woman continued to rant and berate me. Finally, she finished, the only thing I could say was okay and thank you, and then she abruptly hung up the phone. The hearse was 1/2 hour late. Until today, my father, grandparents, maternal grandmother, uncles, aunts and cousins have received the best service from Seals Funeral Home. In the past, I have also recommended their services to friends and associates.....NEVER AGAIN! I later found out that the woman I was spoke to was Mrs. Ethel Seals (the owner's wife)! If Mr. Seals were alive today, this would never have happened. He valued his customers and they always felt secure leaving their loved ones in his care. It's tragic that his wife did not provide the same comfort to us today, and I pray that no other family will ever have to endure such treatment.

Next there was my uncle in 1998, and my sister in 2010. Now my dear Mother has relocated to heaven and we are using Taylor to prepare Mama, as the services will be at her church. So we met with a truly wonderful and helpful gentleman - Mr. James Sandifer. He was amazingly compassionate and helpful. He walked us through the process, gave advice, communicated with us constantly, and was simply our guide and support through the process. We then spoke with Mr. Allen, who also was extremely kind and compassionate. His role is to oversee the funeral cars. He was very kind and empathetic - truly caring. Then Mr. Townsend, who prepared my Mom. He called yesterday to offer condolences, and to let me know that he finished preparing my Mom earlier than planned. He then told me that she's beautiful. When we arrived today to see my Mom, both Mr. Sandifer and Mr. Townsend were with us and offered tremendous support and compassion. My Mom looks angelic ... perfect. The casket Mr. Sandifer helped us select is perfection - very feminine and ladylike - like Mama. The job they did was in excellence, and they made us feel really special and they cared for my Mom with extra kindness. Thank you all so much ... so very much. You have been there for our family consistently over the years, and you've always done a job that is above and beyond. Thank you so very much ... you have no idea how much we appreciate you! God bless you all ... as long as you're there, you are and will be the choice for our family. Thank you over and again! Tracey Marshall

On April 19, 2023, Mom made her transition to being with the Lord out at the Prairie Manor Rehabilitation & Healthcare Nursing Home at 4:10 am. I was called by the Nursing Home at 5:10 am. After I arrived at the home I was confronted by her on-duty nurse Ruby who was very gracious to me. We both worked through the red tape together for this was her first time experiencing a situation such as this. I reached out to the society and I was transferred to a Tarra who began the process and she walked both of us through what to do. Thank you to Tarra with the society. We got mom from the Nursing home to the Homewood location with the help of Pastor Benjamin "Ben" Wind who took my mom to the Homewood IL location to be placed in the morgue freezer. After that, I did not really have to do much more but finalize all arrangements and payments and walk through the final process. Our family requested a Viewing and on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, after all was complete we said our last goodbyes to Mom. Everyone out at the Homewood IL, location was just outstanding. A special Thanks to funeral Director Michael Delegatto and his team for outstanding work with made our family feel pleased with Mom for she looked like she was sleeping. With the clothing that I choose and the makeup, Mom was beautiful! Last but not least, the team member to whom I will give the most praise and credit is Ms. Cindee Towns, who works out of the Hyde Park 55th Street, location. Man, I do not know what I would have done with her. From day one when Mom told her 5 years ago what she wanted and how until today when I picked up mom final remains inside the urn she picked out. Cindee was with me every step of the way. She guided and lead me through this difficult time and kept me encouraged to know I was doing everything correctly. Cindee met the rest of my family at the Viewing and spoke with each of us with words of kindness and sympathy. She maintained consistency throughout the entire process up until today May 10, 2023. Cindee Towns you are the greatest and our family THANK U! "Excellent Customer Service Award". "CINDEE TOWNS!" The Family of Nellie Ruth Thompson Thanks the Illinois Cremation Society!
