About Glueckert Funeral Home

Glueckert Funeral Home is a full-service funeral home in Arlington Heights that operates as part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral chain in North America — families who prefer an independently or locally owned funeral home may want to keep that in mind. Pricing information was not available for this summary, so we recommend requesting an itemized price list directly, which funeral homes are legally required to provide. With 267 Google reviews and a 4.9-star rating, the home has a strong and consistent reputation, with customers frequently highlighting the attentiveness and compassion of individual staff members, including Kevin Meyer and Gail Murphy, and praising the staff's ability to guide families through arrangements with patience and care. One reviewer did note an abruptly ended phone call with a funeral director that felt dismissive during an already difficult moment, which is worth keeping in mind, though that experience appears to be an outlier given the volume of positive feedback.

I had a very disappointing phone interaction with one of the funeral directors. During our conversation, the call was abruptly ended while I was still speaking, which felt dismissive and discourteous.

In every aspect of the services for my Mom, everything was exceptional. The team’s compassion felt sincere, and they were very attentive and respectful, with a natural ability to read the room. I truly can’t say enough about how pleased we were overall.

My first experience with the staff (Perrin S) was most pleasant. She made a difficult situation quite easy to manage and was compliant with whatever I asked. Starting at the reception to the finality of the cremation, everything was explained in complete detail which was greatly appreciated. The pr…
