My experience with Monumental Art Works goes above and beyond with their wonderful customer care and most importantly with their custom design work and craftsmanship. When my mother passed away, I wanted to choose a stone that was simple but also have a customized script design to be displayed on the face of the stone. Olga who is the owner at Monumental Art Works is extremely accommodating and knowledgeable when it comes to the whole process of choosing a stone, creating the desired design, and choosing the available types of granite for the stone. I was very pleased with how my mother's gravestone turned out. Olga's compassionate personality make her a pleasure to work with and she takes the time to answer every question you may have. Her compassionate disposition enables her to take great care of her customers. Monumental Art Works are experienced in creating beautiful engravings in foreign scripts as well which includes Arabic and Hebrew. Their prices are very reasonable for the wonderfully crafted headstones that they produce. I would most definitely recommend Monumental Art Works to everyone who lives in the Chicagoland area. Olga has a Skokie office location for those who live on the north and northwest sides of Chicago and for those who live in the north and northwest suburbs. Her main office is in the southwest suburb of Justice, Il. Contact Olga at Monumental Art Works if you need a headstone, you will be extremely pleased with the results.

Promptly after paying her, she said their equipment broke and she'd have to cancel my order. I offered to wait until the equipment was functioning properly again but she declined. Then comes the mind-blowing part - she would not refund the $155. She was the one that involuntarily cancelled my order but refused to refund my payment. Olga is one of the most horrific people I've crossed paths with. I'm sure that equipment never worked in the first place and she was just monetizing my late father through deception.

The website was also very user-friendly and allowed us to easily navigate through the different options to create what we envisioned.

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.

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.

From the moment we first contacted Inclusive Funeral Care, they treated our family with an…read moreextraordinary level of compassion, professionalism, and humanity during one of the most difficult times of our lives. A few days before my grandfather passed, I reached out to prepare for what we knew was coming. They spoke with me patiently, explained everything clearly, and never once made me feel pressured or overwhelmed. The night before his passing, and again the morning of, I kept them updated as his condition changed. When I finally called to let them know he had passed, they arrived at our home within approximately 45 minutes -- even before hospice arrived to officially pronounce him. Their staff handled my grandfather with such dignity and gentleness that it brought an incredible sense of peace to an otherwise heartbreaking moment. They were calm, respectful, organized, and compassionate not only toward him, but toward our entire family. I especially want to recognize Russ, who was our primary point of contact throughout this process. He truly went above and beyond for our family in every possible way. During an incredibly emotional and stressful time, Russ was patient, responsive, compassionate, and genuinely caring. He took the time to answer questions, explain options honestly, and help us navigate difficult decisions without ever making us feel pressured. His kindness and professionalism made a lasting impact on our family, and I genuinely do not know how we would have managed this process without his guidance and support. What stood out most was their honesty and willingness to truly work with us financially. Instead of upselling unnecessary services, they actively helped us cut costs wherever possible while still ensuring my grandfather was cared for respectfully. They guided us through applying for Social Security funeral assistance, explained every expense transparently, and even arranged a manageable payment plan when funds were tight. In a time where grief can make families vulnerable, Inclusive Funeral Care treated us with integrity, empathy, and kindness. They made an overwhelming process feel manageable and humane, and I will never forget the care they showed our family during such a painful chapter. I am deeply grateful for everything they did for my grandfather and for us.

One of my daughter's friends has lost her mother and recommended Inclusive Funeral Care. We we sat down with Russ Henrichsen to arrange transport from Glenbrook Hospital for eco-friendly water cremation. He asked if there was particular music my deceased wife enjoyed, to which I replied, the Bonnie Raitt & John Prine version of "Angel from Montgomery." The fact that they asked this question led me to believe that we had chosen wisely. We then had Brooke Benjamin serve as Memorial Celebrant for a Celebration of the Life of Kitty at Chicago Botanic Garden. She met with the family in one extensive 2-hour session that included the daughters, myself, the deceased's brother and sister, asking us questions about our beloved's childhood, family life, hobbies, education, political activism, etc. Even though Brooke had never met my wife, she really extracted her essence.... so much so that 10 people (of the 150 in attendance) asked me "Who was Kitty's friend who ran the ceremony?" Short of resurrecting the dead, the celebration simply could not have been better. Kitty is now in our niche in Graceland Cemetery. Brooke was also very accommodating in allowing us to design our own memorial cards--we fell behind a bit in planning the cards, but things came together at the last minute. If you are looking for funeral directors who present you with a set of options in understandable, plain-English, then Inclusive Funeral Care is for you. Brooke and Russ are really excellent people. They were never heavy handed, allowing us to choose the format of the program. When they offered suggestions we choose not to follow (e.g. having live musicians), there was never any sign of disappointment. I just can not find the words to express how grateful I am to Russ and Brooke at Inclusive Funeral Care.
