My father recently passed and Marin Funeral Home & Cremation were very understanding of this very emotionally difficult time in my familys life. Since my first contact with them just hours after he passed and having him picked up at my home, to preparing his body for viewing and religious services, cremation and picking up his ashes to getting the appropriate documentation for his burial in Mexico absolutely nothing but support, understanding and exceptional service. And Gina, Liz and Aldo have been checking-in to check on our emotional well being since the service at the funeral home almost

Aldo and his family were very helpful to us. We lost our Dad on June 2021. It was very hard to find a place where you could trust my Dads final days would be taken Care of exceptionally. God answered our prayers when we found Aldo and Marin Funeral Home. Aldo was very compassionate and patient with us. Losing our Dad is definitely the hardest time of our lives but God gave us comfort and support through people like Aldo and his family.

Marin Funeral Home offered us so much support during our lost. Without their guidance, we most likely wouldnt had known what to do. The sympathy and empathy offered by every single member of Marin Funeral Home was a warm welcome every time they approached us. I dont wish for people to go thru what we went thru, but if you find yourself in such tragedy, Marin Funeral Home will offer all their support to you and your loved ones. I hope not to be there any time soon again, but if the time comes, I would definitely use them again. Thank you Aldo and family for all your help.

Liz was great in helping my brother & I getting my mother here to Chicago from Florida. The whole experience was pleasant even though we are grieving. The service was beautiful and the staff is great!! The prices were very affordable compare to other places we visited. If I could give more stars I would!

I want to express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Marin Funeral Home for their help after the unexpected loss of our daughter. We came to Chicago from out of state with no idea what to do or where to start. Liz guided us through every step with compassion and expertise. They have reached out several times since to check on us. Our family is so appreciative for all you have done during this very difficult time.
