Delehanty Funeral Home was founded in 1949 by Thomas and Lorraine Delehanty. The original funeral home was in the Weldon Farm house at the southwest corner of North Second Street and Merrill Avenue. The funeral home remained in its first location until 1955 when it was moved around the corner to our current location at 401 River Lane.
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love. And so much of the information available on this critically important subject fails to focus on what is most important: having a personalized, meaningful funeral that helps families and friends begin the healing process of mourning after the death of someone we love.
Someone you love has died. You are now faced with the difficult, but important, need to mourn. Mourning is the open expression of your thoughts and feelings regarding the death and the person who died. It is an essential part of healing. The following articles provide many practical suggestions to help you move toward healing in your unique grief journey.

There was an initial disagreement between burial and cremation within our family. This funeral home just washed their hands of all services to us. They provided no help, no answers, just an extremely rude brush off with no explanation. At a time when I just lost my husband, this was devastating. I would not recommend this funeral home to anyone.

I have ever felt like someone cared more about money in my entire life. Every extra dollar to spend was suggested and anytime we tried to cut the cost I felt like I was a disgusting person for it.
I never want to deal with this place again for the rest of my life.
Greedy and unsympathetic. That is the only feelings I felt from the whole experience.

Garrett and his family and staff at Delehanty Funeral Home have been there for us when both of our parents passed away. Most recently, this past week, when our dad went home. At a time when we were over-tired from days at the hospital, Garrett handled all of the details and thought of everything we likely would have forgotten in our state of exhaustion and sadness. He was so professional and empathetic, and I truly can't thank him (and Delehanty) enough for their help at such a challenging time.

I have had the sad task of organizing four funerals since 2005. Delehanty was recommended by a friend as being reasonable in cost. What they didn't tell me was that Delehanty would make the experience as painless as possible and how kind the staff is.I am sincerely hoping that I won't have to be planning a funeral again anytime soon, but would recommend their services.

Delehanty Funeral Home handled the services for my Fathers funeral recently. I want to take the time to thank them for all they did, well not so much for what they did, because what they did is what they do, and of course they are very good at that whole process.
They handled everything from picking up my Fathers casket at O'hare, to the visitation and funeral services, and working with the Cemetery with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail.
But, what I am most thankful for, and the reason for my taking the time for this review is Garrett, this young man who oversaw everything for

I thought their complete lack of care or concern for the immediate family was completely unbelievable. They move 3 family members in front of first row completely blocking father, stepmother ( of 40 years ) eldest brother (wife) because they had no idea what to do. I had one member of staff actually ask me to give the family peace to mourn. I am the father that was my son that died and it was my surviving twin son that I was going to to console. At the funeral none of the family except the mother, surviving twin son and widow of my son that died were even offered seating under the tent we all
