Haben Funeral Home is totally outstanding. Will helped our family so much with the process of laying our Mother to rest. They are so caring and compassionate. They went beyond what we had expected in this experience. It is a beautiful and very clean place, filled with a presence of Peace. We had so many people remark about how lovely everything was. And it truly was because of all the wonderful caring people there. My family and I can not say enough great qualities of Haben Funeral Home. Our family so appreciates them. I believe they treat everyone with the same caring thoughtfulness.The Gustafson Family

Haben Funeral Home has conducted three separate funerals for a friend and two members of my family. They say what they will do and they do precisely what they say. Every detail has been handled deftly and seamlessly. They are dignified and respectful without a hint of condescension. While I hope I won’t need their services anytime soon, when I do I will choose Haben.

The Haben family was extremely warm, caring and efficient during this most difficult time. They were very proactive and paid attention to the smallest of details that were most important to the family. Their coordination of the wake, prayer services, Mass in Chicago and cemetery services out of town in Wisconsin was extraordinary. Communication before, during and after the funeral services was very valuable, providing family and friends much needed details about the post funeral luncheon and dinner.On behalf of the entire Byrne/ OConnell Clan, I wish to thank Will and John Haben for there professionalism and the comfort they provided us during the difficult time of burying our baby sister, Eileen.Thomas J.

Haben family treats you like a family during the hardest time of your life. We had hosted my MIL funeral and cremation at their funeral home and they were extremely respectful of our wishes and cultural requirements. They made the whole process stress free for us during this difficult time. I would recommend them to any one looking for a caring and professional funeral home in the area.

The immediate days after someone passes away are just hard. I did not know how to navigate the funeral process and the handling of a loved ones body. Haben Funeral Home & Crematorys experience and knowledge got us through this difficult time. They come at any time to pick up a loved one. They walked us through what the funeral ceremony would be like and the burial/cremation. They are also very knowledgable and accommodating on ceremonies for difference religions and cultures. They knew more about the Hindu ceremony that I did. They took care of my mom a few years ago and we went right back to them for my dad recently. They are very professional. I am so glad we found them.

I cannot say enough good things about this funeral home. We had used them in the past after my parents died. We recently used them for the wake and funeral of my dear husband who passed in February 2021. Most of our interactions were with John Haben. He was very sympathetic, met with us very promptly, and was very organized with everything that needed to be arranged. He had helpful suggestions for the funeral readings, music, and dates and times, etc. He gave us a wide variety of options for casket, flowers, and special little touches to personalize everything. We did not feel pressured, he simply showed us what was available and allowed us to go with what we felt was best. At the wake, our priest was unable to be at that portion of the process, so at our request, John very kindly said some prayers after family members spoke about my husband. For the funeral, again everything was very well organized, he directed the pallbearers and guided everyone through from the Mass, on to the cemetery. It was a fitting send off for a beloved man, and I am grateful to Haben Funeral Home for their care and attention.

Very good funeral service experience; a bit pricey but comparable for the service received. The entire staff is very professional, efficient and friendly. My only concern is the option to retrieve a trinket made from your dead loved ones fingerprint. This is great if you want it. However, I said I did not want it and it was done anyway. I am sure it was not nefarious and was just forgotten with all the planning. So, be sure to clearly express your option for this service. Other than this hiccup, this is a great company to use for your funeral needs and I would definitely recommend!

I have never lost someone close to me, so when my dad died before Christmas, it was new and difficult. John and others at Haben were thoughtful, helpful, and kind. I very much appreciated their support without trying to take advantage of our grief.

Planning a loved ones funeral at their passing can be a tremendous challenge at any time. Doing it in a COVID environment just adds to it. Our family is very thankful that John Haben and his staff were there to help during this very difficult time in our lives. They attended to our needs in a professional and compassionate way and we highly recommend their services.

John and his team were compassionate, thoughtful, and sensitive to my familys needs at a very difficult time. I highly recommend their services. Better still, dont wait until your loved one passes. I reached out to John when we knew Moms days were numbered. This made the whole process so much simpler.

Made a difficult time easier by having met with us many years ago to pre-plan my parents funerals. Provided us with support and explained everything through each step especially during changes related to the pandemic.They were professional and some of the touches such as taking a picture of the flowers and attaching the card to them made it easy to thank those who reached out. Everything was nicely packaged and they took care of each detail as explained. Cannot say enough to thank them for their concern and sympathy during our time of sorrow.

Haben was excellent to work with for my dad’s funeral. We opted for a quick ceremony and they did a great job with coordinating the visitation and the mass next door. Jerry was very supportive and responsive. We highly recommend them!

Haben Funeral Home was outstanding throughout the entire process. We started working with Richard Kehoe a couple years ago to have my parents completely select the items and services they wanted for their funeral in the future. Richard came out to their assisted living, which was a tremendous help as they don’t ambulate well. He brought catalogs of everything they needed to view, and we were able to finalize the entire process in one meeting. When my Dad recently passed away, everything was in place and we didn’t have to concern ourselves with details as we were grieving. Haben handled every aspect of process as they promised. With the increased difficulties of a funeral during Covid, they were extremely accommodating to help us with safety and reducing exposure. Someone always picked up the phone when we called. I mostly spoke/dealt with John and Will Haben, they were always professional and provided immediate help. The visitation/funeral details all proceeded with great respect and organization. I would highly recommend Haben and have comfort knowing that when the day comes, my mother will also be well taken care of.

When you enter the funeral home you feel a sense of peace. There is also ample parking. The staff was helpful and showed genuine compassion, which put me at ease during a difficult time. Every question was answered and followed up. Chad was patient with me as I made several tweaks to my husband’s obituary. After all was said and done, Richard followed up with me to schedule a post-consultation meeting that I found helpful during the grieving process. The onsite crematory attracted me to this facility. I highly recommend Haben Funeral Home & Crematory.

Haben funeral home is a family owned business that provides such excellent services. We worked primarily with Will, who made the process easy and ensured that the services are beyond more than what we expected. They paid meticulous attention to detail and kept everything superbly clean which is really important in times like today. We are so thankful for their compassionate care and professionalism that they deserve 10 stars out 5. They were kind, outstanding, thorough, supportive, and they organized everything perfectly in such short notice. Words cannot express how thankful my whole family is for everything they have done and making the processes and arrangements easier for us. We are forever grateful especially during this pandemic.

Early in the year my mom used the services of Haben Funeral home when her lifelong companion passed, and spoke very highly of them. She herself passed about six months later, so I immediately reached out to Haben. One call in the middle of the night, and they arrived at my moms house within the hour. They worked with me to come up with a plan that aligned with my moms wishes and took care of all the details. The Haben family and staff were compassionate, helpful, respectful and professional throughout this entire experience. There is no reason to shop around or worry when you need this service; just call Haben Funeral Home, a family-run business that cares.

When you need the services of a funeral home, you cannot do better than Haben Funeral Home. Our family has trusted the services of the Haben family and associates for three generations. We have said our farewells to those who left us after a long life and those who were taken away much too soon. Through it all, Haben took care of us. When my mother died this year, we not only had to bring her cross country, but had to work around the restrictions the Covid rules required. Every person we talked to at Haben treated us with kindness. They were efficient, professional and personable. When we arrived in town, John Haben made himself available to answer every question and was attentive to every detail. What a caring, compassionate family they must be to serve us so perfectly in our time of mourning. Thank you so much.

Dear John:Both me and my sister would like to say thank you for the wonderful way you prepared and handled Moms funeral. She looked so beautiful and peaceful.From your first phone call that mom was in your care to all your kindness and support leading up to the funeral service and to moms final resting place. Your professionalism, warmth and respectfulness during a difficult time was so comforting.You were there for us every step of the way and so compassionate with your caring words throughout.The thoughtfulness of you providing a deck of cards to my husband so that he could place the four kings with mom because they shared playing Kings in the Corner was very special and meant the world to him.Your service was outstanding, delivered with so much care, compassion and professionalism; and for that we will always be grateful.Thank you and God bless.Susan Geib

I felt soothed and relieved with Haben Funeral handling my sisters cremation. Im in NC, so was anxious about finding a Chicago funeral home to work with long distance. Im very happy I found them. John Haben is compassionate, knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and trustworthy. Jon guided me through DocuSign, obituary options, shipping, death certificates, all of it. I highly recommend.

John Haben and his staff could not have been more kind and compassionate assisting my family with arrangements and carrying them out for my mother. Attentive and patient, John anticipated everything the family needed and got back to us in a timely fashion with answers to questions that arose. John was able to go with the flow, adopt a sense of humor, and was simply lovely with my family. We will long remember the graciousness of these professionals at Haben.

John W. Haben and his son were wonderful. They were very helpful and organized. Haben Funeral Home is very clean and neat. They took charge from the Funeral wake to the Church and on to the Cemetery. The family had no worries and could relax with Family and Friends. I couldnt of asked for a better outcome. If I could give more then 5- Stars I would. I highly recommend Haben Funeral Home to everyone. Even if you dont live in the area. Thank you for making my Moms Day the best that it could be.Thank you,Judy Crout

EDIT: Today we had my grandmothers memorial and although tier 3 covid mitigations were started today, the service Haben provided was wonderful and I am beyond pleased. The gentlemen present and the pastor were all very attentive and catered to our needs with live streaming, music and waiting due to technical issues, etc. From the funeral home to the mauseolum, the service was wonderful. Thank you.

HINDU SERVICE AND CREMATION FOR MOTHER. John Haben and his team were extremely professional, responsive (I called to begin planning after 9:30 PM on a Saturday evening before Mothers Day with a somewhat non-standard request), accommodating, empathetic, and thoughtful. Perhaps most importantly, they knew exactly what to do and how to do it, while respecting the wishes of the deceased and the family and handling it all (seemingly) effortlessly, yet making it feel highly personalized. The facility, itself, is top-notch and tastefully understated. Despite it being a difficult time of loss, our family was very pleased with, and grateful for, the seamless experience -- it certainly exceeded expectations.

While pre-planning our mothers funeral arrangements, those at Haben Funeral home helped through each step and kindly answered every question we had.

I was extremely grateful for the services I received from the Haben Funeral Home.John was always concerned but not overly solicitous. He was reassuring that no questions were foolish and that others had had the same concerns.He provided clear explanations about pricing, but did not push for the most expensive option.He gave frank answers about what is usually done and what other mourners might be expecting, but if I wanted to do something differently, he and his staff were supportive and respectful.I cant think of any instance where I wanted something I didnt get or could have asked for better.Patrick
