Hennessey's Funeral Home Inc., previously known as McCawley's Funeral Home, was founded by Gerald M. Hennessey and his son Richard M. Hennessey in 1980. In 1990 Gerald retired from the Funeral Home and it was run by Richard M. Hennessey and his wife Helene. In 2005 Richard's son Sean M. Hennessey came into the family business as a full time licensed Funeral Director.
In August of 2013, the business expanded and opened a crematory located at the same site as the Funeral Home in Susquehanna, which is known as Church Hill Crematory. In May of 2019, Sean and his wife Kiera purchased a second location in Deposit, NY which was previously known as Zacharias Funeral Home.

These requests and traditions are of utmost importance to our staff of licensed funeral directors. Sean M.

The Funeral Home is located on Jackson Ave. in Susquehanna, PA, which is a quiet, low traffic part of town. We only allow one viewing or service at a time so the family will have use of the entire funeral home for their services. There is plenty of room in the funeral home along with air conditioning allowing us to handle large services right on site.
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.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.

I have been here several times for funerals and each time it felt peaceful for the family and loved ones of the deceased. I have not spoken to the owners personally but I know they have treated the families with understanding, gentleness, and love. There is a parking lot for the funeral home but there is another parking lot right next to it for a church that is sometimes used if the first one fills up. Good place to use if you are in this area.
