Strang Funeral Home - Antioch, IL…read more If I could give zero stars, I would. My family just experienced the worst possible treatment from this funeral home during one of the most devastating nights of our lives. When my wife's father passed away, Strang Funeral Home was contacted. Instead of compassion, respect, or professionalism, the director, David, spoke to my wife in an unprofessional, condescending, and extremely insensitive manner. Not to mention he sounded extremely drunk and calling her back multiple times just to be an asshole. Rather than offering comfort or guidance, he insulted the other crematory we had chosen, belittled their services, and made unnecessary, arrogant remarks that no grieving family should ever have to hear. He came across as careless, dismissive, and completely lacking in compassion at a time when compassion matters most. No family should have to endure this kind of treatment in their most vulnerable moments. Funerals are about dignity, respect, and care for both the deceased and their loved ones. Strang Funeral Home, and David in particular, demonstrated none of these values. I would strongly advise anyone looking for a funeral home to look elsewhere. There are plenty of professionals in this industry who understand empathy and compassion. Sadly, Strang Funeral Home is not one of them.

David Moore needs to go back to school, to learn some manners. My family had the misfortune of…read moreneeding Strang's services, when my mom passed away (she had funded plans already set with this funeral home). Both my brother and I live far from Antioch and had separate phone arrangements with Mr. Moore, and he was surprisingly very rude. My brother spoke with David first, and did not tell me how he was treated, initially. Then I called the number my brother gave me (David's cell phone...of course he wouldn't belittle people on the funeral home's landline). That man was so insulting! I was in complete shock. We wanted a simple, private viewing for mom, with a maximum of 10 family members & close friends (small family). David badgered me about the quantity of persons, demanding that I make sure there will be no more than 10 persons attending. While we were speaking, it felt like this man hated me, though we had never met. The next day, after I had spoken with my brother and shared notes, I called David again and asked him to order a floral arrangement for mom with an easel, since mom had allocated $150 in her pre-plans for flowers. Well, you would have thought I had asked him to jump off a cliff for me - he literally yelled at me for inconveniencing him. I was so upset with this man, and I had to drive to Wisconsin the following day, for the viewing and to finalize the arrangements...I barely slept because of how he treated me. Fortunately, David assured me that he would not be present at the funeral home when I arrived, and he wasn't. My mom was physically cared for by a professional director named Jason Flade. Jason handled both mom's care and me with compassion and dignity. He made sure the viewing room was set up tastefully, and did a great job presenting mom. Mom passed away last July, and David still has me upset, apparently. When I saw this Yelp review option, I knew writing one myself was literally my duty. To anyone reading this - even if your loved one has funded preplans with this funeral home, go somewhere else. You can have your pre-plans transferred elsewhere. That is something most people are not aware of, and I wish we would have, even though Jason himself was top notch.

We highly recommend Bruch Funeral Home. We called a few places to get pricing, but after talking to…read moreKris from Bruch, we did not even bother comparing pricing. Kris even told us about benefits we were eligible and took care of applying for them for us.

They are very knowledgeable and took care of everything they could for us and provided guidance on other things we needed to do. We are thankful for their compassion and service.

Within 24 hrs he send me a list of contacts. He is always very communitive, respectful, responsive and conscientious to the families and the those lying at rest at Ascension.

Ascension is a Catholic Cemetery, located in the Northern Chicago suburbs. It is a very large…read moreproperty, and the city/suburban sprawl has yet to encroach on its grounds. It's very peaceful and it is set back far enough from busy Buckley road to maintain that. We have family buried here, and can tell from experience that having such a well-maintained, much visited holy place lets you focus on the reasons why you are there. We also needed to also take care of some administrative business, so stopped by the office (open during normal business hours), and Renata was very kind and patient as we worked it out. As these things go, it will take time to work through it, but we feel a lot more comfortable knowing we will be working with Renata and her colleagues to get it resolved.

Warren Funeral home helped me through planning a funeral, they were so available to help with…read moreanything we needed. I can't say enough about the staff. They are so kind and helpful. They helped with setting up picture boards, putting together a memory slide show, replying fast to all email correspondence and after the funeral sending my mom home with thank you cards, and all keepsakes. My family member that passed away lives in Gurnee so that's where the funeral was. Even out of town planning was easy here. When my dad passed away we looked at other funeral homes as well but this one was the best price as well. They even helped with the transfer of estate checklist and death certificates and where to mail them.

Date of visit: October 21, 2022…read more I came to visit Peterson & Patch as that was where the funeral service for the family member of one of my employee's was being held. The facility, while a bit small, is very impressive as it is an old house built for a judge back in the 1800s. Because it's smaller, it's very cozy, so not ideal for a large-scale event, but if you are looking for a more intimate setting, Peterson & Patch is ideal. This service had a room set up for the eulogy service and a separate room where pictures were rotating on a slide show as well as a back room where coffee and/or snacks can be served. Hand sanitizer and tissue are readily available throughout the rooms of the funeral home. With a large number of out-of-state family unable to attend the service in person, staff had a livestream set up which I thought was a nice touch.

Now, I've stomped a lot of cemeteries in my day but there's just something...unusual...about this…read moreone. True that in it's day it was more like a park than a cemetery with its sprinkler system, well house, two seat outhouse and actual park donated by the Strang family. But the water dried up in 1940 and now the place has a sort of abandoned feel to it even though it's very much cared for. The well house and the outhouse make a creepy central feature, one unlike anything I've ever experienced in any cemetery before. Crumbling, rubble-strewn, abandoned, the well house is unbelievably scary in the fall when darkness falls early over the place. The Southern fence is caving in and I can't help but feel when I'm in there that the woods behind the cemetery want the two areas to merge. The graves date back to the 19th century and it's an excellent place to get a glimpse of Lake county history. It's just a few miles North of Gurnee and it's a place you simply have to visit when your up in Lake County. Caught a picture of an orb in there once that you can see on my blog, as well as a video tour of the cemetery and the creepy well house. Just go to http://gravestomper.blogspot.com/ and click on the Millburn Cemetery video. The orb picture is in the blog below it.
