About Drake & Son Funeral Home

Drake & Son Funeral Home is a full-service funeral home in Chicago that operates as part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral home chain in the country — something families who prefer locally or independently owned providers may want to factor into their decision. They offer a full range of services including traditional burial and funeral services, and reviews suggest the staff has familiarity with diverse religious and cultural customs. Drake & Son holds a 4.9-star rating across 111 Google reviews, which is notably strong, and customers consistently highlight specific staff members — particularly Laura and Levi — for their compassion, clear communication, and flexibility when plans needed to change. No consistent complaints appear in the available reviews, though pricing data was not available for this summary, so families are encouraged to request an itemized price list directly, which all funeral homes are legally required to provide upon request.
