Tia and Adrienne were friendly, compassionate, understanding, helpful from the beginning to end in helping our family set up the funeral arrangements. Pricing of the funeral package was reasonable. The funeral service exceeded my expectation and everyone was talking about this was the first funeral they came too that you scan the QR code to get the obituary. Everyone admired and loved the memory blanket. My husband looked like he was peacefully sleeping. He truly looked like himself. Thanks for providing the excellent service during this difficult time in my family life. McCullough Funeral Home is highly recommended by my family.

A bit antiquated. So I came in for my friends father who had passed away. I go to wakes all the…read moretime because when friends need me, I have to pay respects. This funeral home is nice but very simple as far as decoration. It seems like they got stuck in a time warp from the 70's. With its paneled walls and carpeting. Although still a bit dark for my taste. They do have lamps all around, but I think that makes it seem older. Most of the wakes I have come to here are from the neighborhood. Older Polish families, but with the influx of Latinos, times are a changing. I like the fact that although parking lot is small, its still can hold at least 30 cars which of course is not bad. The service was simple, they put snacks in the kitchen (which also is a bit on the older side), and well what else can I say. Would I have my own family for a service here? Ehhh, probably not, but it is simple and I am sure inexpensive. I asked my friend (yes we have a pretty good relationship that I can ask), if her family spent a lot here. She stated the reason they had it at this particular home is because their prices are compatible. But there you go.

My uncle was in hospice and asked my sister to start planning his funeral services. He didn't have…read moreany children and my sister and I stepped in to help. We were very close to him and this was very emotional and difficult to do. We had never had to plan services and didn't know where to begin. We visited a few other locations in the area and were greeted in a very "business" manner. Although we were trying to fulfill our uncles wishes by planning ahead, some of the nearby funeral homes refused to discuss options in detail or show us caskets because he had not passed away yet. Despite my sister having legal documents to prove she was his power of attorney, one gentleman in particular told us that one of my uncles siblings had to be present to make arrangements as that was his next of kin. We left the location feeling very disrespected and disappointed. Im glad we left because upon entering Modell we were greeted by Mari. Our experience from that moment on was one we will never forget. She was very helpful, compassionate and patient. She took her time to show us around, answered our questions and never once did she question our intentions. She allowed us to pick out every detail without asking us for a dime. We then met Gloria and we felt right at home. My uncle ended up passing away later that week and we were glad were able to plan ahead. I can't imagine making arrangements during those difficult times. All in all I have much respect for this place and all of its staff. My uncles services were perfect and Gloria did such an amazing job with his makeup. Modell is family owned and we were treated like family from the moment we walked in, to when they picked up his body at the hospital, to the moment he was laid to rest. Im thankful for their team and I highly recommend their services.

All of my close family members are buried at St. Mary's Cemetery in Evergreen Park, IL. As soon as I uttered St. Mary's, I was shut down. My mother's wake and funeral were in 1995, and my brother's wake and funeral were held at T&K in 2017. There was no problem, and our family was satisfied with everything. Both of these times, our dealings were with the same woman. My less than satisfactory experience with my husband's wake and funeral were overseen by a man (I won't even use his name). I've instructed both of my children that when I die, DO NOT hold my wake and funeral at Thomspon & Kuenster.

Since the 1980s I have buried over 10 people, and have made my arrangements as well. I visit the cemetery often and have always found it to be well kept and beautiful. I have dealt with the office staff on a number of occasions and found them to be most helpful. I sometimes lose a grave or two and the office is always helpful in sending out staff to help me find them. If a grave is neglected for any time, the marker may not be visible. Time and earth movement can make the markers sink, so it is up to family to inform the office so that it can be retrieved. I have never had any problems with these services, including flower decorations and placement. I get frequent correspondence informing me of the clean-up times so that if I desire, I can retrieve any flowers or decorations on my graves. Over the past 50 years of dealing with the cemetery I have not encountered any problems, except finding a grave at time. Keep up the good work!

If I could give Cage Memorial a negative star as a review, I would…read more I want to share my experience with Cage Memorial following my aunt's services, which were held in January 2025. Since the services, I have consistently contacted Cage Memorial--approximately every two months speaking with Bethany, to ask when my aunt's death certificate would be available. The last time I called was in May 2026. I was repeatedly told that the delay was due to the medical examiner's office. On August 26, 2026, I called again and spoke with Roland. I was placed on hold for approximately ten minutes. When he returned, he told me that the death certificate was there. When I asked when it had arrived, his response was, "What difference does it make? It's here now." I found that response extremely dismissive, especially after waiting so long and repeatedly following up. I went to Cage Memorial that same day with my sister to retrieve the death certificate. Unfortunately, the situation became even more upsetting disrespectful, and aggressive. Roland yelled at us, made derogatory comments about our skin color, and continued yelling at us as we left the building. He also stated that he had no empathy for the situation. Losing a loved one is already an incredibly difficult and emotional experience. Families should not have to deal with additional stress, hostility, or disrespect from the funeral home and the owners handling their loved one's arrangements and documents. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Cage Memorial to anyone. I encourage families to research their options carefully, compare prices, and read reviews before choosing a funeral home. The way a family is treated during one of the most difficult times in their lives matters.
