History
Founded in 1923 by my grandfather William Barr, we have grown to a large business covering four storefronts with two parking lots. We continue to proudly serve Chicago's Edgewater community for our location on Broadway offering cremation and custom funeral services. - Tim Harrington
Specialties
People want to create new family funeral traditions, with the attention focused on the living and their needs, not the dead. People are asking for simpler, less complicated ceremonies celebrating the life lived. We believe we are creators of meaningful memories, using life centered ceremonies to create unique events. At Barr Funeral Home, we pride ourselves on providing dignified services and quality products at an affordable cost. We also believe that having full and correct information is vital to achieve the needed peace of mind. We understand that the emotional and financial burdens of this process can be overwhelming, and our goal is to alleviate as much stress as possible during this time.
