Great Funeral Home that I recently visited. Last time I was here it was over 10 years ago. The…read moreservice provided here for a friend of mine that recently passed away was above and beyond. Great levels of hospitality and it is a warm, inviting environment. What I do recommend that I think is the major issue here is that if you know that the person has a large family please carpool over here because parking is limited and I had to see people park half a mile away or across the street to make their way into the funeral home.

Our family will be forever grateful to Damar-Kaminski Funeral Home & Crematorium for the…read moreextraordinary care and compassion they showed us during the most difficult time of our lives. Losing someone you love is never easy, but the way they guided us through every step brought comfort when we needed it most. From the very first conversation, Bogdan Gal treated us not just as clients, but as family. His kindness, patience, and genuine empathy meant more than words can express. He handled every detail of the arrangements for Joanna Bednarz's funeral with the utmost dignity and respect. The service was truly beautiful -- thoughtful, elegant, and perfectly reflective of Joanna's life and spirit. Bogdan's steady guidance helped us feel supported and reassured through every decision. We are also deeply thankful to Renia, whose warmth and understanding comforted us from the moment we walked through the doors. She was incredibly organized, responsive, and gentle in every interaction, making a painful process feel a little less overwhelming. A heartfelt thank you as well to Donna and the entire staff. Every single person we encountered showed compassion, professionalism, and sincere care. Their attention to detail and quiet support during the service did not go unnoticed. They created an atmosphere of peace and respect that allowed our family to grieve, remember, and honor Joanna in the most meaningful way. In a time filled with sorrow, Damar-Kaminski Funeral Home & Crematorium provided light, comfort, and dignity. We will never forget the beautiful service they created for Joanna or the compassion they showed our family. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us say goodbye with love and grace. May God Bless you all, Bednarz Family

Since my father was in hospice I was in contact with JoJo and her assistance and guidance have been invaluable. Our Funeral Director Carmen was so patient, professional and loving.

Okay, it may seem a little strange to be reviewing a funeral home but unfortunately I had to attend…read morea wake yesterday so here is my review on Ridge Funeral Home. The place is a two story funeral home and is very homey. When you walk in you just get a very peaceful warm feeling. The first floor is for viewing and the viewing room itself is very large and comfortable. They have a little area right off the front door for coffee and cookies and also a coat room. The second floor looks more like a house...you would never know you are actually in a funeral home. There is a living room with a fireplace, a seating area that leads to a full kitchen with a table. There's also a room for the small ones to go and hang out set up with toys, books and games. The home was all decked out in holiday ornaments and even a tree and was just very peaceful. It really gave you a sense of calm. It was definitely a sad day but the surroundings somehow helped with the stress of it all.

We then returned to attend to a family matter and upon entrance to the outdated and shabby administration quarters. We were met by a very unprofessional and ignorant "DALIA". She was smug, uneducated and had an unpleasant look to herself with the badly dyed fake blonde hair. Dalia is the type of person who has no control over anything in her life and uses her position to give grief ridden families a difficult time. I strongly discourages NOT TO BURY YOU FAMILIES HERE. Shame on the Archdiocese or anyone else who hire people like her. We will be forwarding a formal complaint to the top. BEWARE OF RESURRECTION CEMETERY IN JUSTICE, ILLINOIS

I came to Dalcamo funeral home as for funeral and visitation services for a relatives passing…read more Never a specifically pleasant experience, but I think Dalcamo was a good choice, due to its location in Chinatown and staff attentiveness. Also conveniently located next to a floral shop that specializes in funeral services floral. There are two rooms so it could be that two events are happening at the same time which feels a little cramped since there is only one entrance and the neighboring area is on the more congested side (but expected in the city). This spot is no frills spot, not necessarily updated, but the upkeep has been fine. The casket cars are well kept. Staff was very friendly and professional. They were able to bring in additional seating and have the funeral stickers for our cars ready for our family when heading to the cemetery. They were also able to assist police to direct traffic as well during the funeral procession. Overall a positive experience, but an emotional celebration of life.

I've actually attended services at this funeral home several times over the years, and they've…read morealways done a satisfactory job from my guest point of view.  Parking is easy, as long as you're not last-minute, and as usual, the organization of the funeral procession to the cemetery went without a hitch today.  They smoothly handled a pretty large gathering today, maybe 200 folks.  Today was the first time though that I personally realized their long-time competitor Bowman Funeral Home is now closed (and I don't know as of when), so Dalcamo is now the only funeral home located in Chinatown for what that's worth.

Many Chicagoland Cantonese Chinese are buried here and the Chinese section is a large part of the…read morecemetery but by no means the only one.   Most of the Chinese are here because the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of Chicago in Chinatown has for many years leased land from Mount Auburn Cemetery and then re-leases burial plots to Chinese families.  The first Chinese burial here was in 1922. Buried here are my own father and both paternal grandparents as well as numerous in-law relatives.   So coming here for an annual remembrance visit or another burial is just a natural part of life for us and always has been.    My limited dealings with staff here has been fine.  The Chinese section has a small pagoda-like altar that you won't find in any other cemetery.  The grounds are kept clean.  There's nothing you can do if there's been a recent big rain, as the grounds will be soaked and there will be muddy puddles here and there.  It's not an ornate or picturesque cemetery by any means and it's located in the blue collar town of Stickney (not a knock but just saying).  It's also right under nearby Midway's flight paths, so low flying planes during any visit should not surprise you.  Much like Wrigley Field, no matter the apparent weather everywhere else, it's always colder and windy here and feels 10-15F colder for some reason.  It's just the nature of a visit here.   Overall though, they have done the job for us over the years.  Thank you.

It is in this large section of Mount Auburn in which a vast majority of Chicagoland Chinese are buried. The section sold to the Chinese is managed by the Ong Leong Association in Chicago's Chinatown. Burials plots and gravestones must be purchased through the Ong Leong Association. Four generations of my family are buried in Mount Auburn. The Ong Leong built an altar monument for the Chinese who can burn offerings to the departed in the next life. There are many Chinese who celebrate their deceased on the one remembrance day.

I went to buy a monument for my brother's grave in a somber mood ready to purchase anything to get the uncomfortable task checked off the list of things I had to plan for his burial. Jolanta informed me that she could help me design a custom monument at no extra charge. She kindly and patiently walked me through the design process and helped me create a monument that really honored my brother in a unique and personal way. The process was very comforting in a way I never imagined it could be. I just viewed the monument after it was installed at the gravesite last week. It is beautiful and leaves me with a sense of peace. Thank you Jolanta

There are many designs to choose from, and Jolanta was helpful from start to finish. I went with a custom design. It typically takes 6 months, but with Covid, we experienced delays. Jolanta was very informative throughout the process. She helped me design the headstone as well. Then my mom's husband passed away after we designed it. I asked if he could be added and she helped me redesign it. Life happens, and she accommodated all requests. The final product turned out beautiful. I hope I don't have to see her anytime soon, but I highly recommend Jolanta at Peter Troost during such a difficult time. You will not be disappointed. My mother stands out just as we planned. Thank you, Jolanta!
