Distinctive. Affordable. Independent.

 

Our mission is to lead Chicago in distinctive, affordable funeral and cremation care. Each person we serve or counsel must have their expectations exceeded because they have found competence and care. Our costs will not only be affordable but sensibly, completely packaged and easily understood. There is a difference in funeral and cremation firms. We make a difference because we are different.

IT'S HOW YOU'RE TREATED--THAT SEPARATES US FROM THE OTHERS

At Central Chapel--Funeral & Cremation, we’re proud of our elegant, homelike facilities and our reasonable costs are among the least expensive in the area.  But the real difference when dealing with Central Chapel and Lane-Moynihan is our compassion for those we serve and our willingness to take the extra steps

--Bob Moynihan

LANE-MOYNIHAN CAN BE COUNTED ON DURING DIFFICULT ECONOMIC TIMES

Lane-Moynihan and the Cremation Foundation remain committed to serving people whose financial resources are limited by circumstances or philosophy. In addition to our ordinary funeral, memorial, and cremation offerings which are so modestly priced, we have special arrangements in place during these most difficult economic times.

 

ONLINE TRIBUTES

 

We are pleased to provide this service to you and the families we serve. The current funerals entrusted to our firm are listed here. If you are unable to attend funeral or memorial services, you can still be with the family in thought by signing the online guest book, expressing your condolences or share your most memorable recollection about the deceased. You can also place a memorial donation, send a floral tribute or be reminded of the anniversary of a death.
