 History & About Us

Established in 1937 by Frank Foran, Foran Funeral Home has been caring for families in the southwest side of Chicago and surrounding suburbs for more that 80 years. The funeral home was purchased in June of 1986 by Andy and Sharon Jeninga and Rich and Dawn Madej, all who were grew up on the southwest side of Chicago.

The Foran name for the  funeral home was kept  because of its longevity in the community. When they bought the funeral home, Andy and Sharon lived in the apartment above the funeral home where they raised their two children and Rich and Dawn had a home in the Garfield Ridge Community where they raised their two children. The Jeninga's and Madej's made a commitment to honor and serve all families with dignity and respect. It is our privilege to be given the opportunity to help  families. We take pride in that we care for your loved one personally, we do all our own embalming, preparation and directing of funerals.

Family Caring for Family has and always will be the cornerstone of our funeral home.

We are the family who care for your loved one. 

Members of the local community make everything that happens possible.Together, we make this place amazing.
