Bormann Funeral Home was originally established in North Maywood in 1893. In the early 1920s, the funeral home was relocated to 5th Avenue and Lake Street. In the '40s, Bormann once again found a new home, located on Broadway in downtown Melrose Park. The present location of Bormann Funeral Home at 1600 Chicago Avenue was constructed in 1952.
Since that time, many projects for inside and outside modernization have been completed. In 1976, Richard Baczak purchased the long established home from the John Bormann family. Since that time, we have aimed at fulfilling our Philosophy of Service: meeting the needs of our community with dignity and without bias at the most reasonable cost.

I recently had services for my Grandfather at Bormann Funeral Home and during COVID times there are a lot of things that can look and feel different. Sarah and the team at Bormann were phenomenal throughout every portion of planning including the day of the service and following. Communication and follow up was always timely. Sarah made me feel at ease throughout the many decisions that needed to be made, and she took the time to answer all of my questions. I never felt rushed. Their staff truly care about crafting an experience to honor your loved one.

From the moment I first spoke to Gerard at Bormann funeral home, I knew that this place was special. My mother had wake services here. From how beautiful they had dressed her to the quaintness of the funeral parlor itself, everything went perfectly. The compassion that we felt from Gerard and his family and their team truly made a very heartbreaking experience much more bearable. He took his time with us, never rushed us, and always was empathic with us. I know my mother would have approved of this funeral home and I think they did a beautiful job helping us remember my mother. Thank you Gerard
