About
About Chicago Modest Cremation
Chicago Modest Cremation was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to provide affordable, dignified cremation services to families across the Chicagoland area without compromising on care or compassion. We understand the challenges families face during difficult times, and we believe that everyone deserves respectful, professional service regardless of their financial situation.
Our Story
Chicago native Matthew Bajt, the owner and operator of Chicago Modest Cremation, brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of Chicago’s diverse communities. As a licensed funeral director, Matthew has seen firsthand the importance of compassionate, personalized care when families are dealing with loss. This inspired him to create a service that offers high-quality, affordable cremation options for families who don’t need or want the added costs and complexity of traditional funeral services.
Supporting Matthew in this mission is his wife, Maribel, a registered nurse who provides warmth and guidance to families during their time of need. Together, they are committed to helping families navigate the end-of-life process with respect, empathy, and professionalism.
Our Commitment to You
At Chicago Modest Cremation, we are more than just a service provider—we are your partners in a difficult time. We are here to ensure your loved one is treated with the utmost care and dignity. Our approach is centered on personal attention and accessibility. Matthew personally handles every aspect of the cremation process, from the initial phone call to delivering the cremated remains and death certificates to your family.
