  Edit: now that’s it has been a couple months, I can firmly say I’m disgusted with this funeral home. Not only was my family treated poorly, I’ve seen other reviews in the same time frame say the same. On top of that, only positive reviews are getting responses and not a single apology to the families they have hurt / made this process worse. I still carry my grandmother’s prayer card with me. I just wish it didn’t have so many errors to stare at. I recently had my grandmother's funeral there. A lovely woman who would give anyone anything. That being said, the funeral director present when my family arrived for the private hour, Chris, was terrible. My aunt - who had done the majority of the set up and was already pulling her hair out with stress - and I had asked if we could set up her laptop to stream the service to her son currently deployed in Japan (only because their streaming service was down). We were told that everyone HAD to go in together, and that no one could go in ahead of time to set it up. We had to fumble and test the stream while her grieving husband and children were trying to have a moment, completely ruining the alone time that they had. Additionally, the prayer cards that we received had "DO NOT USE!!! SARA!!" printed on the back, and had listed her as already being cremated, even though we were in the room with her in the casket. Clearly a proof of these were never sent to the family to verify, and it was clear they were given to us with the staff knowing they were incorrect. Once Chris left, the funeral director that stayed for the visitation and following service was very friendly, but I unfortunately didn't catch his name. Overall I was very angry with the service and how my family was treated. Katie didn't deserve that. I myself work at a funeral home in Chicago, and we would never dream of treating a family this way.

  Not sure what happened to this place. All of my family has gone through uecker witt and was always treated with respect and kindness. When my family and I went into our appointment the guy who was helping us didn’t even show any sympathy whatsoever. Our loved one passed seat unexpectedly and obviously didn’t have any money for a funeral. We were pretty much told that they were going to take a “hit” if our loved one would have been approved for assistance through the state. We weren’t even told any payment options and ended up leaving and we were told that they “had a business to run” don’t worry, we will NEVER be back.

  Treated my family with no sympathy and told us “we’ve got a business to run”. What a great thing to be told after losing a loved one.
