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.

We were there to look at options for burial. I really appreciate the different options they offer. You can do a 'green' burial, have your cremains/ashes buried or spread around the plot, or have your whole body placed in the grave site, with or without a casket. Many people don't realize that you do not have to use a casket, or even use a funeral home.

Light and bright, yet with cozy groupings that featured comfortable couches, armchairs, and side tables. There were gorgeous curtain treatments, classical light fixtures, and plenty of seating for mourners. The bathrooms were immaculate with an elegant floral arrangement. The lounge area provided everything that family and mourners would need for a break--coffee, tea, bottled water, and a selection of soda. Even napkins and paper plates, which we had forgotten to bring, were available. There was a large table with a generous amount of chairs for gathering together. Plentiful tissue boxes were placed throughout. Every detail was thought of and provided for the care of those who were grieving. The attendants, Deanna Moran and Patricia Sanchez, went above and beyond. They warmly greeted the family when we arrived and assisted in providing the risers for the floral arrangements that we brought. We were shown where everything was located in the building (bathroom, lounge, lounge supplies). They were attentive and caring, making certain that the entire event went smoothly from start to finish. Their compassion and sympathy embraced us, helping us to find closure during this difficult time.

At first we decided with the cremation process, days later decided to have a burial instead. Loosing someone is already tough as it is and planning a funeral is hard when we're grieving in the process. The "Flowers by Mateo" were absolutely beautiful. Everyone was amazed with them! Every detail of the service was just how we wanted. Matthew made suggestions, answered any questions we had, and addressed any concerns. The funeral home was very clean, elegant and spacious. I cannot thank Matthew enough for everything he did. This funeral home is definitely the best in the area, highly recommend it.
