Family owned & operated for nearly 60 years. Our family has been involved in the funeral business for nearly 70 years.

We offer full-service Funeral & Cremation care—modern, personal, and focused on celebrating every life with meaning and compassion. Our history stems back to the original family owned funeral home in Blue Island, Illinois which was established in 1937. Our original Tinley Park location was established in 1965 near Oak Park Avenue in downtown Tinley Park. In 1997 we opened a new, modern facility in Tinley Park on Harlem Avenue, moving from our original Tinley facility. In 1985 we purchased, renovated and expanded our Mokena location, opening in 1987. The Funeral Home is active in both Tinley Park and Mokena communities, always surrounding our business with community events.

We’ve heard the rumors — here’s the truth 👇

Community Update: No Fire at Vandenberg Funeral Home 🔨

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve heard reports around the Mokena community about possible smoke or a fire at our building. We want to clear things up — there was no fire.

The “smoke” some people noticed was actually dust from exterior renovation work as we’ve been improving our building and parking lot. These updates are part of our ongoing effort to maintain a safe, beautiful space for the families we serve.

We’re grateful to everyone who reached out to check on us — it’s a reminder of how caring our community truly is. Everything is safe and operating as normal — just a bit of dust while progress happens!

We remain open and here to serve our community as always.

Thank you for your continued support and trust.

This quote hits home for us this Thanksgiving season. Tag someone who needs to hear this!

"True happiness is to enjoy the present,
without anxious dependence upon the future,
not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears
but to rest satisfied with what we have,
which is sufficient,
for he that is so wants nothing.
The greatest blessings of mankind
are within us and within our reach..."

- Seneca

Who we are

Since our founding we have been family owned and operated. Our family has been involved in the funeral business for nearly 70 years with our history stemming back to the original family owned funeral home in Blue Island, Illinois which was established in 1937 (Pictured on left).

Our original Tinley Park location was established in 1965 near Oak Park Avenue in "Downtown" Tinley Park. In 1997 we opened a new, modern facility in Tinley Park on Harlem Avenue, moving from our original Tinley facility. In 1985 we purchased an old farm house on Wolf Road, we restored and expanded the new Mokena location, opening in 1987.

Another aspect of our family business was the ambulance service; this service worked together with the funeral home, as the funeral homes has long vehicles that could be used to transport patients to hospitals (ie. Hearse coach). The ambulance service was created to fill an unmet need for emergency medical transportation. In the early days of EMS, Vandenberg Ambulance was the only option for communities located in the south suburbs of Chicago. The company responded to motor vehicle accidents in communities from Blue Island to Joliet, and over time, began serving hospitals and nursing homes. The services provided in the very beginning were only those of a first responder, and that was simply the transport of an injured patient to the closest hospital.

The Vandenberg Family, has always insisted on staying involved throughout the communities they live and work in. The funeral home operates in best practices in funeral service, and strives for excellence when conducting funeral services for families we serve. We make a point of working together with area churches and charitable organizations to meet the demand of the community with an open mind and giving heart.
