About Us



Joseph McPhee Funeral Directors has served families of all cultures, beliefs and backgrounds with dignity and compassion for the past 80 years. We will guide you through unfamiliar territory, make suggestions and help you create a send-off that will be both worthy of that person and also of immeasurable emotional value to you. Of all the services a funeral director offers, this is far and away the highest value.


Joseph McPhee Funeral Directors was founded on the belief that the funeral belongs to the client, not the funeral director. There is a better way to deal with death than the trappings of the corporate funeral industry. We offer a return to traditional values, beliefs, and cultural practices that are often compromised when a funeral costs too much. The growing trend toward personalized last rites and celebrations of life are really just a return to the ways our ancestors faced the realities of death. Coming from a funeral background where funeral directors knew the families they served, Joseph McPhee is accustomed to a high standard where the needs of families come first.


We provide the quality of service that every family deserves without the demand for profit that governs the corporate funeral world. We are forward thinking with the awareness of burial customs of all faiths and cultures, current trends, and client expectations, being flexible and working collaboratively with all families.


Joseph McPhee was born and raised above Joseph McPhee Funeral Home, formerly at 7133 South Western Avenue in Chicago. He graduated from St. Rita High School and from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education. Since graduating from Worsham School of Mortuary Science, he has been involved in more than 3500 funerals and cremations throughout his career, serving families of all faiths and cultures. He has also been a facilitator for anatomical gifts and organ donations. His business is now to provide families in Chicago and the surrounding counties with a variety of funeral and cremation options including Green Funerals. All services are provided at an affordable price and with all due respect and dignity. Funeral arrangements can be made at a home or a location of your choice.
