Not Your Average Funeral Home

We wanted to learn what makes this award-winning business tick, so we took a few minutes to talk with Milos Djordjevic, Funeral Director at Theis-Gorski Funeral Home and Cremation Service.

To kick off our conversation, we asked Milos about what makes Theis-Gorski Funeral Home and Cremation Service unique compared to the many other funeral homes in Illinois. Milos told us:

“It’s my passion to help people. That’s the main thing. We truly try to help every single person who comes through our doors. We don’t look at it as just a business. It’s more than that. We’ve developed relationships — lifelong relationships — with family members we’ve served.”

We also asked Milos about the Theis-Gorski Funeral Home and Cremation Service mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s his response:

“The main thing is to treat the client’s loved one with the utmost respect and view them as an individual and not just as another number. Basically, our mission is to serve and respect for every single family.”

Building Success By Making Every Client Feels Cared For

Milos credits Theis-Gorski Funeral Home and Cremation Service’s strong online reputation to their commitment to ensuring that everyone they serve feels special and like they are being taken care of:

“You never know if a family has gone through something like this, and it’s sometimes hard for funeral directors to keep that in mind when they’re dealing with families. Since we deal with people that have lost someone on a daily basis, it’s easy to get jaded. But, the most important thing is just to absolutely give it your all to make every family feel special and cared for. That is the secret; that’s the only secret. It’s not for everyone. It takes a lot of mental energy to deal with people who are grieving, especially when you want to provide the same exact care for somebody who wants just a simple cremation for their loved one as someone who wants a traditional funeral. You have to give that same respect and honor and care to their family members. Then reviews come by themselves. It’s really that simple.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Theis-Gorski Funeral Home and Cremation Service has grown through community involvement. They’ve been around since 1904, and they’re there to help anyone who needs them in their community.

There are many business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Milos’s expert advice for them:

“The online presence will come if you are passionate about what you do. Like anything else, the reviews will come and the word of mouth will come if you are genuine and you care, just like in any other business.”


Congratulations to Theis-Gorski Funeral Home and Cremation Service for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Milos, for taking the time to speak with us!
