Blake-Lamb Funeral Home

Blake-Lamb Funeral Home, located at 4727 West 103rd Street in Oak Lawn, Illinois, is a pillar of compassionate care and personalized memorialization within the Chicago area. As a proud member of the Dignity Memorial® network, this funeral home has earned an exceptional reputation, reflected in its 4.8-star rating from over 150 reviews on Google. The dedicated team provides a full spectrum of funeral, cremation, and burial services, all delivered with a century-old tradition of excellence.

Established in 1961 by M.J. Lamb and his sons Matt Jr. and Richard, the funeral home’s roots stretch back to 1880, when brothers Michael and Thomas Blake began serving Chicago families. In 1928, Matthew J. Lamb Jr. and his wife Margaret took over the Blake operation, and decades later, they broke ground at the current Oak Lawn location. The new chapel opened in 1961 and was immediately recognized with the Preferred Funeral Directors International award for the nation’s most outstanding funeral home of the year—a testament to its commitment to quality.

Today, Blake-Lamb Funeral Home specializes in creating deeply personal tributes that celebrate each life uniquely. Whether designing a baseball-themed service for an avid fan, organizing a classic car cruise-in for a hot rod enthusiast, or arranging a traditional religious ceremony, the staff excels in fulfilling meaningful final wishes. The on-site, wheelchair-accessible interfaith chapel warmly welcomes celebrants of all faiths, and the flexible reception space—complete with professional catering—allows families to host anything from a strolling cocktail hour to a sit-down dinner. For those choosing cremation, options range from simple cremations to full memorial services with viewing and interment of remains.

The funeral home’s expertise extends to military honors, and it has received multiple awards from police and fire departments for its donation of services to officers lost in the line of duty. Additionally, Blake-Lamb has been honored with the Pursuit of Excellence Award from the National Funeral Directors Association and the Joseph of Arimathea Guild Award from the St. Vincent DePaul Society.
