In 1899, John G. Adinamis, Sr., the first Greek Orthodox Funeral Director, founded in Chicago’s vibrant Lincoln Square neighborhood, establishing our beloved family funeral home at the corner of Western and Leland Avenues. For decades, this location stood as a fixture in the community, offering solace and support to countless families. Fluent in seven languages, John recognized the profound need for families to express their grief and celebrate their loved ones in their own languages. His unparalleled language translation expertise became a cornerstone of compassionate care, ensuring every family’s story was told with dignity and respect. This pioneering spirit laid the foundation for a proud, multi-generational legacy, where our family continues to serve your family with unwavering dedication, preserving memories and traditions for generations to come.
