Martin Kvasnicka
Funeral Director/Owner
Since 1999, it has been my honor to walk alongside families during some of life’s most tender moments.
Guided by the values of honor, dignity, and compassion, I’ve made it my life’s work to ensure every family feels respected, supported, and truly cared for during times of loss.
After 26 years of dedicated service, my family and I founded Linden Funerals & Cremation with a heartfelt mission: to offer affordable, meaningful care to the families of Libertyville and the surrounding Lake County communities. We’ve created a space where you can find comfort, clarity, and the guidance you need—because we believe everyone deserves support they can trust in their time of greatest need.
My roots run deep in Lake County, where I’ve built both my life and my purpose. Together with my partner, Kristie Raducka, we’re proud to call the Gurnee/Wadsworth area home. Our family life is full—with our oldest daughter studying at Butler University, and our younger son and daughter actively involved in theater, travel hockey, and softball while attending Lake Forest High School and Lake Bluff Middle School.
Outside of work, we treasure the moments spent together enjoying all that this community offers—from the beauty of Lake Michigan to family walks and celebrations at Independence Grove. It’s here, in the heart of our hometown, that we remain committed to serving you with compassion, sincerity, and affordable care you can count on.
Sincerely,
Martin Kvasnicka

Since 2018, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Martin, supporting both the families we serve and the day-to-day operations that help bring care and comfort to our community.
Being part of this work has been deeply meaningful to me—I truly love stepping in wherever I’m needed, knowing that even small efforts can make a big difference in someone’s hardest moments.
Martin has devoted more than 25 years to funeral service, always driven by a simple yet powerful goal: to listen closely to each family’s wishes and provide the care, respect, and support they truly deserve. With the creation of Linden Funerals & Cremation, he’s realized a long-held vision—to offer families in Libertyville and the surrounding areas heartfelt, personalized funeral and cremation services that are both affordable and deeply meaningful.
It’s an honor to be part of something that brings comfort, dignity, and peace of mind when it’s needed most.
Sincerely,
Kristie Raducka

Funeral Assistant
Since 2023, I’ve had the meaningful opportunity to assist my dad during funerals—supporting families in our community during some of their most tender and difficult moments.
It’s a role I’ve grown into with gratitude, knowing that even a small gesture of kindness can bring comfort when it’s needed most.
A proud 2024 graduate of Libertyville High School, I was actively involved in the Theater Department, where I found a love for storytelling and connection—something I now carry with me in all aspects of life. I’m currently pursuing my education at Butler University, with plans to graduate in 2028. Life on campus is full of energy and growth, and I cherish the friendships I’ve made with my classmates and sorority sisters. Go Bulldogs!
Even while away at school, home remains close to my heart. I always look forward to time spent with my family and being part of the compassionate work we do together.
Sincerely,
Mila Kvasnicka
