I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the ownership and entire staff of Calahan Funeral Home. Your outstanding care and service was a wealth of support during a time of great stress and grief for me and my family. We are very appreciative of your kindness, trustworthiness, guidance and support through the various components of service. For example (and just to name a few), the design of the obituary and printing, the layout and design of video presentation and live streaming were expertly and professionally done. You pulled this all together so quickly and beautifully, with great patience and cooperation in spite of extremely narrow deadlines. Your team explained everything with great clarity, in an honest and highly professional manner. And, a special thanks to you for making the Calahan Legacy Center available to us. The ambience there is so beautiful and regal—it exudes an immediate feeling of comfort. Your company and organization is truly first class. Your team exemplified excellence at every level: from the leadership and compassion of ownership; to the personal attention, cooperation and counsel of our funeral director and family advisor; to every staff member we met; even those who answered the phone provided immediate support. You truly have a culture of honesty, integrity and teamwork. It is clear that your organization is founded on high quality of character. As a native son returning home to celebrate the life of my brother, I was blessed to be exposed to your exceptional service and generosity. You treated us like family. Calahan Funeral Home is truly an oasis of comfort in the heart of Chicago’s South Side. I have to be truly moved to give recommendations, and I don’t give them often; however, on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being the highest), I rate you a 10. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate you a 20! Thank you so very much for what you did for my brother, for me and my family. With my deepest sincerity, Steve Robinson

Calahan's were very hands on and supportive. What I liked most was that they tried to take as much burden off the bereaved family as possible they went over the details step by step. I can even order the tombstone at the funeral home. My grandmother's service was professional and I would highly recommend Calahan Funeral Home.

After having my cousin's funeral there, their good customer service, and the anniversary of his death, how they sent my cousin's mother a nice thinking of you card, etc. Just very thoughtful. ..RIP Jonathan Macklin, In Jesus Name, AMEN.

Our family have used Calahans funeral home since before I was even born. They are very professional trustworthy and very considerate. I would recommend this Establishment to anyone who has lost a love one. One of the best if not the best services they can be provided in the Chicagoland area.
