I had the awful experience of having my sister's funeral here. I spoke to Sheila first she would…read morenot give me the cost of the cemetary that I chose that first day because she wanted to look into it She only gave the cost after my mother demanded it. The cemetary quoted 23,000 which we refused to pay. The reasoning was that my sister was overweight. However, my dad was buried there for considerably less with a different funeral home. I requested a white casket and Sheila stated that she could have the casket wrapped in purple my sisters favorite color. I received a call a few days later from Sheila stating that the casket was black instead of white and it was so large that it broke the machine that is used to cover the casket and I needed to change the color to white which I requested in the first place and the casket would not be wrapped in purple. Sheila would not set a date and the funeral got pushed back to the week of Christmas My sister passed on December 10, 2025. I selected a beautiful purple dress and the moment I walked in with the dress the mortician said the dress would not fit and I left defeated. I came home and tried the dress on and I am larger than my sister and the dress was loose on me. My mom called back to Branch and the mortician agreed to try the dress which fit perfectly. The mortician also cursed my mom and myself out and said that my sister was was too big to fit the dress and if we think he is lying then we could come in the back and look at her body, before she was prepared for viewing.. He also replied if she ends up looking any kind of way don't say anything to him because it's our fault. The day of the funeral the obituaries arrived 2 hours late and the funeral was held up. Sheila cursed my mom and the cemetary person that we chose after we refused to go with the original cemetary due to cost. My sister also was not lying correctly in the casket and Sheila also called to say the casket itself broke. While at the funeral the casket did not close properly and the staff made us all leave the room in order to position her in the casket. We were also very late to the cemetary because of the funeral starting late because of the obituaries. The mortician also got out a tape measurer and lifted his leg off the floor and made a huge circle around his legs describing the size of my sisters legs. I lost my only sister and I was treated like trash all while grieving. We also paid a huge amount of money.

I attended a funeral service here for the first time, and they did a fine job for their client and…read moreus guests. They have a spacious one floor operation (i.e., their lounge is on the main floor) and a relatively modernized, cozy, and comfortable interior. There is one funeral parlor room and it was spacious with comfortable seating. The burial for our Chinese family friend was held at the usual Mount Auburn cemetery in Stickney. They have a decent size parking lot, but if it is filled, they (or the enforcers I'm told) allow you to park in the street for free as long as you have an orange funeral sticker applied. This area is set up with the usual metered street parking otherwise. Another nice touch for those attending the burial service is that while the service is going on, they remove the orange stickers off your car for you, and I appreciated that because they applied 4 of them on my car. I also spoke to the current director Michael Coletta (and there are probably several generations of them), and who was a personable fellow, and when asked he told me they do about 25-30% Chinese business. Anyway, I found them to be a good competitor to the better known Dalcamo Funeral Home in the area, and competition is a good thing for us consumers.

Had to come say good bye to a co worker so of course the YELP itch hits! I think that the fact that…read morethe integrity is still in-tacked in this funeral home, and really (macabre alert) NICE. It looks as if it might have looked many years ago, but with a clean elegance. The dead are lucky for sure. I mean, I have seen my share of funeral "parlors" and I can really say what I think is nice, but this is simple and clean and not at all hard for the eyes. The respect and care that they took in viewing my co worker was nice to see, and the fact that they let his photos be put up also was really touching. Granted, I stood in the main parlor, due to other people in other parts of the funeral home, but I saw enough to know, this place is still the real deal of the past. Nice to see that it is inviting to families and not so sterile like the newer funeral homes of today have become, or for that matter, are. Good size parking lot and still old school.

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

If you've got a funeral home your family has been going to for generations, great. If not, you need…read moreto figure things out pretty quickly and Caring Cremations makes things easy with a website where you can choose your options and have upfront pricing which seems pretty reasonable. They also offer services and online obituaries, etc. but it's a very easy option for a simple cremation and all the accompanying requirements (just pay the money for at least 5-10 death certificates, you'll probably need them). I wouldn't recommend filling out the online forms on a regular phone as things can be small for reading and you don't want to risk a typo in the official documents but the whole process is pretty simple on a tablet, laptop, or full size computer monitor. I didn't complete all the online documents until late in the evening but they showed up way down in Oak Lawn early the next morning to pick up my father. Expect timing to be roughly a week after that unless you need expedited service, but standard timing was fine for my needs. The funeral home for pickup near Pulaski & Addison can have congested traffic, especially during rush hour or when there's a Cubs game, but there is an easy parking lot in back or delivery to your home is an option as well. Not a place you hope to deal with, but a helpful option for many to get things done when needed.

I never experienced the level of…read moredisrespect, disregard and unprofessional from a company until I did business with Smith and Thomas Funeral Home Inc. 1.) In the middle of making my dad's funeral arrangements. My baby sister was in a physical altercation with an employee of Smith and Thomas Funeral Home. No staff members apologized to the family or even attempted to remove the violent employee from the premises. I sadly was in the middle of the physical altercation and I am currently 5 months pregnant. 2.) While making our funeral arrangements the next day. The owner Mary Smith was micromanaging every step of planning process. There was constant calls and she kept demanding to have our life insurance policy brought to her. I believe these matters could have and should have been handle once we left the office. 3.) My father was not dressed in the appropriate attire that I picked out and informed the funeral director of my selection. When I asked a staff member why is my dad dressed that way. They informed me "Oh I don't know, Ms. Smith instructed me, oh there is nothing I can do". My siblings and I were faced with complete disrespect and disregard. It wasn't until I threaded to make a formal complaint that my wishes were taken seriously. 4.) During my father's visitation the owner Mary Smith, verbally attacked me. 5.) At my dad's funeral that same employee Eunice Young who attacked my sister was apart of his funeral service. Mary Smith and her staff had no regard for the disrespect and violence me and my siblings endured. Losing a loved one is a difficult time. Losing a parent is a very hard pill to swallow. A company such as Smith and Thomas Funeral Home who has been in business this long. Should have been more professionally and more respectable. Due to my siblings really wanting to use their services that is the ONLY reason we went with them. Sadly, my father Eric Smith was the vice president of Smith and Thomas Funeral Home. He worked there for 26 years. This establishment found every way possible to constantly disrespect and disregard his children. I highly advise NO ONE to use their services. Please seek peace and use another company. This is a terrible company.
