In April 2019, CENTRAL CHAPEL and THOMAS McINERNEY'S SONS merged, uniting two reputable establishments. McInerney's, the oldest funeral home in Chicago established in 1873, has long been known for its courteous service to generations of families. With the merged firm, Bob Moynihan brings the same commitment to distinctive and affordable service to McInerney's, earning a reputation for being among the most affordable and inclusive funeral providers in the city.
