Our funeral home has had the honor of serving Lemont area families in many ways. We are pleased you have turned to our family as a resource for everything from advance funeral planning to at-need arrangements. We can even help you take the first steps toward healing in the grieving process.
We are proud of our family's long tradition of funeral service, beginning with our founder, Sam Markiewicz, who in 1890, opened his funeral home and furniture store on Main Street.His son, Vic Sr. moved the firm to our present location in 1948, operating the business until his retirement in 1975. Sam's grandson, Vic, then purchased the business in 1975 and made major expansions and renovations in 1983 and 1992.

Services
We understand that many families are unaware of what steps to take when a death occurs. At Markiewicz Funeral Home, we are committed to ensuring that our families have the required information that they need to make the right decisions any situation. We have provided below a brief overview of various circumstances and the necessary steps.
Our beautiful foyer warmly welcomes you into our home, where the same attention to detail that defines our services is reflected through our carefully decorated and designed home Our spacious North Chapel is able to comfortably accommodate larger services in a refined and elegant setting. Our beautiful and intimate South Chapel is wonderful for our families who wish to hold more private arrangements.
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love. And so much of the information available on this critically important subject fails to focus on what is most important: having a personalized, meaningful funeral that helps families and friends begin the healing process of mourning after the death of someone we love.

John Humes the owner has no business running a funeral home. He is rude and aggressive. Swore at us, belittled us and turned the lights off on because it was 8:10. Asking us to leave isn't an issue. But yelling and making fun of my uncles accent. The whole end of the service was ruined because John didn't have enough decency to ask us to leave with respect. Everything could have been handled totally different but sorry my family doesn't take being disrespected. We will speak up for ourselves and he's such a child that he couldn't think in his small mind that we were highly

My father-in-law passed away. Durning such a horrible time, this place did make the arrangements a lot easier on you. We delt with Robert. What a wonderful person. During the wake, we ending up staying almost 2 hours after closing. He never once implied or mentioned anything (about when we'd be leaving) even though I know his wife was calling expecting him to be home. Robert just wanted us to take our time. Afterwards, he told my family about the healing steps for grieving. He also extened an ear if we wanted to talk. Everything was beyond my expectations. For such an awful time...this place did
