Hursen Funeral Home

I have dealt with this establishment twice, once when my dear Mom passed away in 2018 and again…read morewhen my 100 year old spunky & loving grandmother passed in 2020. When my Mom passed, my sister and I made an appointment to select a headstone. I was impressed when I had called to make an appointment as I spoke to Chris Lee and he was friendly and informative. We met with him on 3/25/18. He was very helpful in giving us information on the type of headstone that was required for the area where my mother's grave site was, the catalogs as well as the sample headstones that was in his office to choose from. With his help, we chose a headstone we were really pleased with that was regal and epitomized my mother's classiness. In the year of the pandemic, my granny passed in June, 2020. Since we had a good experience prior, we decided to come back to this business to get a headstone for her grave site. We met with Steven Bloom on 8/1/20. He was friendly, took time to show us our options and we selected a different headstone that reminded us of her personal style. We paid for the headstone in full (you have the option to make a partial payment) and waited to hear updates on our order. More than two and a half months passed by and I hadn't heard anything regarding our fully paid order so I reached out to Mr. Bloom for an update. I talked to him via phone in October and he remembered me and the order and told me he would call me back that day to provide update details. I didn't get a call back so I called the next day and left him a voicemail as he was out of the office. I still did not hear from him after a few days. It was then that I called again and asked to speak to a manager. I was transferred to a vice president and explained the situation. He looked into it and was honest about what happened which I appreciated. Our order unintentionally got lost in the shuffle. With the pandemic and tons of orders, an error occurred. Sir V.P. apologized for the non-communication of who we dealt with concerning this order and the error. He got right on getting our order processed immediately. He communicated with me by email and by phone as to the developments. I appreciated his willingness to be empathetic to my family on how important getting this headstone done and done right. He was professional at the same time. By the time the headstone was finished, unfortunately it was too late in the year for it to be placed so Sir V.P. said that he would follow up with me in March to see if Glen Oaks Cemetery had placed the headstone. He kept his word and called me on March 1 - the headstone hadn't been placed yet but he would check again and get back to me. My granny's b-day was March 6 so I decided to go out to the cemetery to visit her. I was happy to see that it had looked like they had just placed the headstone either that day or the day before. I personally reached out and thanked Sir V.P. for all of his help and assistance in getting this headstone completed because it was really important to our family. I highly recommend this business. Their monument selection is HUGE! Thank you Peter Troost, appreciate your establishment.

There are levels of ineptitude and greed on the part of their successor. This made my most recent experience very disappointing in comparison to how the original couple ran this business. We could barely get anyone to take our calls and seemingly had to do a cat and mouse chase with Rorry the director. Then we were overcharged in fees and surcharges that were not outlined until AFTER my mother's remains were transported to their facility. They were not clear as to when the flowers would be displayed. Lastly, we were delayed at the burial site because no one on staff took the time to tell the cemetery that we were on our way. At one point during the burial, I noticed the driver looking at his watch as if he had somewhere else to be. Who does that? Again, any delay was their fault. I wouldn't take a dead goldfish to Wallace's in the future, let alone a loved one. This business is riding on the reputation of its founders who are now deceased, but they apparently took professionalism and compassion with them. In its place is a director who is still wet behind the ears and his wife whose side hustle is printing the programs and providing the flowers. It's no longer about compassion and care but getting the most money for each related service. This is a disservice to the people who still go to them thinking that the personal touches of the late Vernon and Gladys are still evident in their present-day operations. If my disappointment is not a wake-up call to the owner, then hopefully it encourages would be patrons to reconsider.

Queen of Heaven Cemetery & Mausoleums

When I came to Chicago years ago, Mt. Carmel was the cemetery I most wanted to visit (if…read moreinterested, check out my review). Following that visit, I crossed the street and entered Queen of Heaven, a more modern (consecrated in 1947) resting place consisting of 470 acres. As I've noted in other reviews, I've always been fascinated by organized crime history, and Chicago's organized crime is an integral and prominent (if often unwanted) part of that city's history. I always try to conduct myself respectfully and discreetly in cemeteries, knowing these are holy places where people come to mourn. The overwhelming majority of the "permanent residents" of Queen of Heaven were honest, hard-working people who tried their best to make their way in the world. The cemetery boasts the largest Catholic mausoleum in the world, and it's indeed an impressive structure, a work of architectural splendor. Inside, I found the vaults of Tony Accardo, perhaps the most successful and powerful Mafia boss in history; Paul Ricca; Sam Battaglia; and Fiore Buccieri. I had a camera with me but I didn't take any pictures. Why? Because there were security cameras everywhere and I didn't want anyone to misinterpret my purpose, and think I was being "disrespectful." The Chicago mob was unique in being surprisingly egalitarian, a meritocracy (a large number of its reps in top positions were Jews, Irishmen, Greeks, Bohemians, a Welshman, etc.; their abilities counted more than their ethnicity), but they were also known for a countless number of savage "hits." I didn't actually think anyone was going to take a blowtorch to me for snapping a photo of Joe Batters' private vault. Still, I wasn't about to press my luck. Outside, it was more relaxed. I found the grave of "Mad Sam" DeStefano, a figure of particular fascination for me. Physically a cross between Fred Flintstone and John Belushi, reading about some of his "antics" had caused me to laugh out loud. He forced a court hearing for a $10 traffic ticket, had himself carried into court on a stretcher, shouting through a bullhorn, "Birmingham, Alabama, here I come...We are living in a Gestapo country...Hello to all the stool pigeons in the witness quarters..." It wasn't all laughs. FBI Agent Bill Roemer called him "the worst torture-murderer in Chicago's history." When Sam's wife Anita angered him, he kidnapped a black man walking on the street at gunpoint, and forced the man to rape his wife as punishment for his wife, who now lies buried beside him. Does she rest in peace, or does she dread the thought of the coming "Day of Judgment" when the dead rise from their graves and she has to see Mad Sam's ugly face once again? Hopefully, if there is a God, He'll spare her that. Mad Sam was shotgunned to death in 1973 while sweeping out his garage. The man believed to be wielding that shotgun is buried across the street, literally a stone's throw away. Tony Spilotro, the hitman portrayed by Joe Pesci in "Casino." The man who once squeezed a man's head in a vise until the man's eyes popped out of his head in order to extract information. On "Judgement Day," will Mad Sam see him, ignore Anita, and shout out, "You, you're the dirty ______ who shot me!" In another direction is the impressive monument to James Torello. If you read "The Exorcist," Blatty quoted a surreptitiously recorded conversation where Torello described torturing a 300-pound loan shark to death: "Jackson was hung up on the meat hook. He was so heavy he bent it. He was on that thing 3 days before he croaked...We tossed water on him to give the (cattle) prod a better charge, and he's screamin'..." I'm a non-Catholic, and Yelp is not the place to argue theological issues such as faith, grace, redemption, etc. But I couldn't help thinking about such issues as I walked around this beautiful, peaceful cemetery. Did the Catholic hierarchy really think Mad Sam "made his peace" with God in the seconds before that fatal shotgun blast? He's lying in sacred, consecrated ground. Supposedly, Spilotro asked to say a prayer (and was denied) before he was beaten to death, but does that transform a serial-killing monster into someone worthy of Heaven? As another, non-Catholic example-- "Tex" Watson, Manson's chief killer, has his own prison ministry and claims to be "saved." Is he sincere? What if he is? Someone who can stick a knife 30-something times into an 8-month pregnant woman permanently severs whatever tenuous links he may still have to humanity, as far as I'm concerned, and obviates any possibility of redemption or forgiveness. To me, that's a spiritual brokenness that can never be fixed, whether it's Tex, or Charlie, or Mad Sam, or Tony the Ant. I don't mean to sound overly harsh in discussing this cemetery...other cemeteries, religious and non-sectarian alike, have evil people buried in them...but these were the thoughts occupying me as I wandered about these peaceful acres. Maybe that's the reason I still identify as an agnostic.

I really wish I took a picture of the mess because it was TRULY DISRESPECTFUL. What made me and my family so angry was that it seems to only happen to us in our section. Everybody else around us have their decorations perfectly placed and not touched. We called to complain and they did absolutely nothing, only said some of the things were removed because they didn't meet the requirements when none of the decorations went past the size limit or were glass!

Hurson Funeral Home and Anthony, provided exceptional care and support during an incredibly dark period in our lives. When each of my parents passed away, we were overwhelmed with grief and uncertainty, but from the moment we walked through their doors, we were met with kindness, tact, and sensitivity. Anthony and his team went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of the funeral arrangements was handled with the utmost care and consideration. They took the time to listen to our needs, preferences, and concerns, and they guided us through the process with patience and understanding. What truly stood out was the way they treated us like family. They didn't just see us as clients; they empathized with our pain, shared in our sorrow, and offered comfort and support every step of the way. I'll never forget how Anthony hugged me when I couldn't hold back my tears, or how he and his team grieved alongside us, creating a sense of togetherness and solidarity that meant the world to us during such a difficult time. Moreover, I deeply appreciate that they never took advantage of our vulnerability by trying to upsell or push unnecessary services. Their transparency and honesty were truly refreshing and allowed us to focus on honoring our loved ones without added stress or financial burden. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Hurson Funeral Home to anyone in need of compassionate, professional, and genuinely caring funeral services. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and their kindness and support will forever hold a special place in our hearts.Thank you Anthony read more

Anthony and his staff were absolutely wonderful, kind, and compassionate. Anthony went far and beyond what most funeral directors would. During the time of my mom's funeral not every funeral home was willing to have a normal wake/funeral, but Anthony was and I am forever grateful. I could have not made a better choice; my mom looked restful and beautiful--truly as if she were sleeping. Anthony is also one of the very few funeral directors who do not take advantage of the grieved, in terms of what his services cost. In fact, I was very surprised to receive all of the services he provided at such a reasonable price point. I do not understand the negative reviews, except to say there are people in this world who are incapable of being satisfied. I am black, and I got no sense of Anthony being racist, and he certainly made no racist remarks. I highly recommend Hursen. My mom's Funeral was the past January, and it has taken me this long to write this review, because it is so difficult still to believe my mom is no longer with us, but at least she was in the best care possible with Hursen Funeral Home. read more

Brian Powell Sr. and Brian Powell Jr. were always available when we had questions, offering thoughtful guidance and steady support that brought our family great comfort. During a time of deep grief, it was incredibly reassuring to know we were in such caring and capable hands. We are truly grateful for the dignity, empathy, and support they provided, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Powell Funeral Directors to any family in need of compassionate care. Respectfully, The Pavich Family
