Bohemian National Cemetery

First time going through the cremation process with a pet, and the loss was extremely hard. Bob was beyond considerate and so generous! Gave my family and I so many precious keepsakes, and was so thoughtful with the extras he added on. Hope I won’t need to for some time, but I would definitely go back to him if I ever need to in the future, and would recommend him to others! Thank you so much!

I guess this is the oldest cemetery in Chicago. I went there for a Hindu last rites. Although the place could use some maintenance and renovations you cannot take away the meaningful calm of the place. The manager is a very nice guy and the staff is very nice too.

We brought our dog Casanova there . Bob was very friendly and could tell we had just lost our furry kid . He took such great care explaining everything to my wife Kathy and I . We were very pleased with the services and how the paw prints came out . Bob is a great guy and a big pet lover . 5 stars

Bob had done such great job with my Bubby! You can tell he really cares about the animals during the process. Thank you so much Bob!

I went to pet cremation .Mr. Shaw was very compassionate about the loss of my pup Unfortunately this second time i have gone there but have peace in knowing my babies where in good hands .

This is one of the most beautiful (and oldest) cemeteries in Chicago. My father passed away 11 years ago, and we didn't have a family cemetery so we visited a lot of them. Sometimes the upkeep is not great, but it is nice and peaceful away from street noise.

I’ve been coming to see Bob, for a couple years already. He cremated a few of our Guinea pigs. And recently our Bunny Snickers. Let me tell you. Bob is so friendly he really cares for our animals.The way he comes up with ideas on how to capture our animals, in these precious moments. It’s amazing. Here I’ll upload a picture of ashes from our Bunny Snickers. Omgoodness tears were coming down because as i open the keepsake box. It’s like opening a treasure box of memories from his fur, whiskers, prints of his paws and nose. Also we got necklaces with his ashes. I’m so thankful. Even in the holidays with an ornament. How cool is that. Thanks Bob. Appreciate you.

Bob was amazing. He was so kind and pleasant to work with. We lost our puppy Ruffles and Bob made sure he made us comfortable through the process. He provided all types of trinkets to give us memories. I would recommend Bob to anyone who loses a pet.

Our cat was 16yrs old and passed at home. My mother was devastated. We didn't know where to go or how to handle. I found bob online and read all the reviews and made 100s of calls. Several vets told me about him. He answered every call and answered all my questions. Our tia passed away on a Sunday and he told us to come right in. He was very kind and supportive. He helped us and made us very at ease. Bob just lost his dog and understood our pain. We rate 5 stars. Thank you

I was unaware that they did pet cremation services until my beloved dig Bandit passed last week. I called and spoke to Bob. Turns out Bob runs the entire process. I was a mess Friday and transporting my dog there was not easy, I was blown away at Bobs compassion and it made me feel so much better knowing Bob was handling everything. At pick up of the ashes yesterday Bob had everything laid out and thoroughly went over everything and treated the ashes with reverence and compassion. Bob is fantastic and don’t think anyone could do it better than Bob. I Highly recommend !

We want to thank Bob for his companionship for taking such good care of our dog, Lucy. (Passed away Aug. 25, 2022.) Everything included in her box were beautiful and very much appreciated. Would highly recommend Bob for your all your pets needs.

Bob was friendly, compassionate and caring. He made this heartbreaking moment easier to process for our family. Our fur baby was treated with kindness, respect & dignity.

He also has very affordable prices as we were calling others and unfortunately we needed something that wouldn’t exhaust our wallet. He even added extra paw prints for free.

Thank you Bob for taking such good care of our May May!!

If I can give 20 stars I would! Bob did so great handling my sweet baby May. I was originally going to take her to a clinic but I thank God for Bob. He was the only one handling my sweet girl from the beginning to end. It made me feel more connected and personal about my baby passing. It was already very difficult having to deal with my girl passing so he made the cremation process very easy for me to hand her to him. Here in this picture I’ve added a few things to my babies memorial service. To Bob, Thank you for allowing me and my family to take our time with our last final goodbyes. Thank you for handling our MayMay with great soft care. If you have a fur baby please do not hesitant to bring them here! Very inexpensive and respectful!

I thank Bob for taking good care of our dog Jackie. Jackie passed away suddenly Friday night and all the places were closed till Monday. He was able to accommodate us when all other places were closed for the weekend. Will be going to him for future services.

Bringing my girl to this cemetery was the best decision I could have made for my loss. Bob was super kind and respectful to her body and my family during our grieving time. He really topped it off by placing our girl in a special urn instead of the general container. I am at ease knowing she was respected and cared for by Bob. I highly recommend this crematory, plus it was affordable during these hard times. Thank you Bob!!

Sadly our dog currently passed away Dec-2-2020 and wanted her ashes because we got her since I was in first grade and saw me graduate high school. We called this place and the service was easy, no attitude, no complications. Nice man, he even gave us a little something free because he notice how much we cared about this dog. Much love to that guy. 10/10 would recommend if you want your dogs ashes or anybody.

We have had a great experience here(BOHEMIAN NATIONAL CEMETERY) Our family dog passed, and since it is cemetery and a animal crematory,(they are separated buildings for humans and animals) we brought our "Sadie". Bob treated us great! Never rushed us, understood that we wanted our final goodbyes.. and was just an all around courteous man. They're cremation packages were very well priced and had alot of different things included w them, and then, when we picked up her ashes today, he surprised us w a "garden gift". A ceramic puppy w wings.. as a memory stone in our yard.. it was perfect!! I would tell anyone if they're looking for a good place for their pets. This is it..

Brought my Gemma here to be cremated. Bob took care of my family. He made us feel special bu placing our girl in a special urn. Thank you Bob. You did a great job! I feel happy to know my girl was in good caring hands.

My 14yr old nugget passed away .. Bob went above and beyond for us..he took good care of my fur baby... I would definitely recommend this cemetery to anyone whom lost an animal.. Thank you bob for making tbis process easier for my family we will forever be grateful...

Love this cemetery, great history and grounds. I have two generations of Bohemian ancestors buried there. The office staff is most helpful. The revival of the July picnic is very important to our history and it is also fun. They serve delicious food for a very good price and parking is free. The Eastland Memorial section is well done and worth the visit for Chicago history buffs. My grandmother shared how the picnics were so important and this was in the 1920s and 1930s. It is a family honoring environment. Cubs fans-you really should check the Cubs fan burial section out.
