Our family'f funeral home of choice was Ellgas Funeral Home on Armitage Avenue just west of Pulaski. The owner, Matt Ellgass, was a good friend of my father, and most of my father's family lived near St. Philomena's Church in that area. I believe Matt Ellgass married into the Wold family, and that the funeral home was originally Wold & Wold, which was one of the oldest businesses in Chicago
