Susan Alvarez and her team treated my family with the utmost respect. They had every detail taken care of, from creating the prayer cards to collaborating with the Funeral in Florida. My moms casket flew from Orlando to Chicago without a glitch. We sent them family photos, and they created the sweetest video and aired it on a large monitor in the viewing room. They stored it on a USB that came in the most beautiful case( see photo). They made arrangements with the deacon to perform the service. Everything you need, they can take care of it. Alvarez handled my dads arrangements in 2022 and now my moms. Great job on both.
Our family recently had the profound need for the services of Alvarez Funeral Home after the loss of our loved one. To simply say they "handled the arrangements" would be a great injustice to the exceptional care and compassion we received. From the very first moment, Ms. Alvarez distinguished herself and her home from any other we have dealt with in the past. Where others felt transactional, she was deeply personal. She did not just see us as clients, but as a grieving family in need of guidance and support. Her patience, empathy, and genuine kindness were a steady comfort during the most difficult days of our lives. Ms. Alvarez took the time to listentruly listento our stories, our wishes, and our worries. She helped us navigate every decision with grace, offering gentle suggestions while always honoring our desires. She removed the overwhelming burden of logistics and allowed us the space to simply be together and grieve. The personal touches and attention to detail made all the
Susan Alvarez is literally doing gods work at this location. She ran my grandfathers whole service. While we are all distraught from our loss she was this ray of sunshine that kept things moving. From kinds words to hugs and affection, and her attention to detail is unmatched. The location is just beautiful and inviting. Thank you from Michael the grandson of the father of the Airman who helped at service.
