If I could give this place zero stars I personally would. I never experienced the level of disrespect, disregard and unprofessional from a company until I did business with Smith and Thomas Funeral Home Inc.1.) In the middle of making my dad’s funeral arrangements. My baby sister was in a physical altercation with an employee of Smith and Thomas Funeral Home. No staff members apologized to the family or even attempted to remove the violent employee from the premises. I sadly was in the middle of the physical altercation and I am currently 5 months pregnant.2.) While making our funeral arrangements the next day. The owner Mary Smith was micromanaging every step of planning process. There was constant calls and she kept demanding to have our life insurance policy brought to her. I believe these matters could have and should have been handle once we left the office.3.) My father was not dressed in the appropriate attire that I picked out and informed the funeral director of my selection. When I asked a staff member why is my dad dressed that way. They informed me “Oh I don’t know, Ms. Smith instructed me, oh there is nothing I can do”. My siblings and I were faced with complete disrespect and disregard. It wasn’t until I threaded to make a formal complaint that my wishes were taken seriously.4.) During my father’s visitation the owner Mary Smith, verbally attacked me.5.) At my dad’s funeral that same employee Eunice Young who attacked my sister was apart of his funeral service. Mary Smith and her staff had no regard for the disrespect and violence me and my siblings endured.Losing a loved one is a difficult time. Losing a parent is a very hard pill to swallow. A company such as Smith and Thomas Funeral Home who has been in business this long. Should have been more professionally and more respectable. Due to my siblings really wanting to use their services that is the ONLY reason we went with them. Sadly, my father Eric Smith was the vice president of Smith and Thomas Funeral Home. He worked there for 26 years. This establishment found every way possible to constantly disrespect and disregard his children. I highly advise NO ONE to use their services. Please seek peace and use another company. This is a terrible company.

We were given fanastic support with great empathy along with superb professionalism and discretion. The least time, making many difficult decisions with the assurance all was done to give us information, prepare us for the future work involved and to move past the necessary legal matters. Darnesha was a real joy to work with.

Eric and the team I met like Dia was so kind and conscientious. I had a unique situation which they helped me with. Eric went out of his way to make sure that my need was met just out of the kindness of his heart. God bless their team.

Smith and Thomas Funeral Home has giving Funeral Services for at least 8 family members to include my mother a few months back. The funeral Director is a dishonest person however let me explain. I had a small insurance policy under $2800.00 that was to be divide between me and another family member. I confirmed from the insurance company that the check was mailed to Smith and Thomas Funeral which Mary Smith the Director should have divide the funds but didn't meanwhile from the beginning Mary Smith asked if i wanted my portion to go to my daughter which i said no but after calling several times to speak with her and came to the funeral she refused to see me The last email she stated that this case was closed....dishonest/bad business.. DO NOT USE THE FUNERAL HOME.Mary why did you ask me if I wanted my share to go to my daughter instead of me which I stated no. However I kept good notes of this conversation. It sad Mrs. Smith you are a liar and a bad business person. If you needed these funds I would have been glad to donate them to you but since they were stolen from me its bad business from a person in the black community, in time of need.

Smith and Thomas funeral home took special and spectacular care of my grandfather's remains. He looked sharp and distinguished when they were done with him for his wake. They went above and beyond to take care of his veteran services by looking all around to find a flag for him as well as getting his hard to find honorable discharged veteran papers. Not only that they got the military to come and give him his military honor and present my mother with the flag. Their staff did it all with class, professionalism with poise and very friendly with an approachable disposition. I would recommend them.

We chose Smith and Thomas because they were close and well known on the west side of Chicago but I never expected such a wonderful encounter dealing with death and especially the death of my father who was and always will be the love of my life. All of the staff was extremely knowledgeable and compassionate (even at times where family made it difficult). They handled each detail with extreme professionalism. If I’m ever in need of funeral services of a loved one I will be sure to contact them. No death is easy but their service in the most difficult, emotional time of my life has been TOP TIER! Thank you from me and my dad! ?

Telephone etiquette was harsh. No communication or updates when the completion would be so that other arrangements could be made. I highly recommend shop around around and let this be the last resort.
