    Our experience with this funeral home was extremely disappointing during one of the most difficult…read moretimes our family has ever faced. We informed Funeral Director Alicia Jacklin multiple times about incorrect information on both the obituary and the death certificate. Despite these notifications, the death certificate was still submitted with errors and missing information. We were also told that we would be contacted when the death certificate arrived, but no one ever reached out. After waiting several days, we called and were met with the dismissive response, "We already gave it to you," when in fact what we had received was only the cremation permit. Throughout the process, whenever we called with questions or concerns, we were repeatedly told, "I'll get back to you; we're busy helping other families." We understand that every family deserves attention and care, but that should not be used as a reason to neglect existing clients or fail to follow through on commitments. Losing a loved one is one of the hardest experiences a family can endure. The lack of attention to detail, poor communication, and apparent indifference we encountered only added to our stress and grief. This was once a place where families felt cared for and treated like family themselves. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. We felt as though the focus was always on the next person walking through the door rather than on providing the support and service we were promised. Based on our experience, we would not use or recommend this funeral home in the future.

    It's all about the money at Orland Funeral, owned by Dignity Memorial. The services and "family"…read morefeeling changed drastically when bought out by Dignity. They even go so far as to charge $600 "cleaning fee" for the use of the kitchen, lounge area. I've arranged and paid for services here under the Zimmerman and Sandeman ownership previously, the latest in 1998 for my mother's services, and it was a much better, warmer experience than when I had to arrange for my wife's services in 2017. I've instructed my children that, for my services, hopefully a long time off, to look into Modell Funeral in Homer Glen, family owned & operated for over 60 years. Enough said!

    First time visiting this funeral home. Even during the Covid 19 crisis, this place was still open…read moreand operation. Easily located off Cicero Avenue and close to a plethora of places. This funeral home is average sized. It's a bit out of date but very accommodating, great service provided by the staff. There was no "grief room" but I think that's the least of the issues if this is the result of the crisis. Bathrooms during visits are a bit sub par in my opinion. Wouldn't mind having my funeral here either.

    My brother's funeral was last September. We had a GoFundMe to raise funds-funeral home is fully…read morepaid. It's taken me awhile to write this, so I understand it might be unusual to see this review so late. The owners were very, very nice. They were very caring individuals. This is not about the owners whatsoever. That being said: there were other staff who were walking around and watching us. That is their job, but one man in particular was so rude, I was taken aback. I don't know the man's name, but he was a taller man, a bit older. The look on his face can only be described as a scowl. The way he spoke to me was with a hurried and annoyed tone. He made it a point to follow me to the back room when I brought in coffee. This was my mistake as COVID restrictions were still around. I apologized to him. Thought the matter was done. HOWEVER, it was not. He made it a point to watch me in particular and it made me wildly uncomfortable. I made a comment to someone about him and he interjected he was doing his job-because he was listening to my conversation, apparently. The next day at my brother's funeral after my parents said their goodbye's to my brother: I was the last person in the room with the casket. Same person (and another person-can't remember) were also there. They were in a big rush to get us out. I looked back as I was exiting the room. I was obviously crying and upset (my brother died at 28) and the look on his face was even more intense, like I was a burden because I was there mourning my brother. Him and the other person were whispering about something to the effect of "he can't wait until this is over with". All I'm asking if your staff to understand the gravity of a situation. If they can't handle people mourning at a funeral and being upset, they should get out of their role ASAP. My parents were too upset to say something, but your staff needs to be more respectful to mourners, period.
