History

McGilley Memorial Chapel-Midtown is a combination of 3 firms. The Eylar Brothers Undertakers was initially established in Kansas City in 1899. Later in the early 1920s, the Mellody-Joyce-Taylor firm was established and became known as Mellody & McGilley in 1930, when James P. McGilley became a member of the firm.

In 1945, Mr. McGilley purchased the Eylar Brothers Funeral Home and combined the companies at a facility located at Linwood Boulevard and Woodland Street. After combining, Mellody-McGilley-Eylar bought the company of Quirk and Tobin Undertakers at Linwood Boulevard and Main Street in 1954.

Three years later, in 1957, Quirk and Tobin Funeral Home was renamed Mellody-McGilley-Eylar Funeral Home. In 1959, Mellody-McGilley-Eylar pioneered the funeral planning process and began offering financing options. In 1970, the funeral home at Linwood and Woodland was closed, and the Linwood and Main location became known as the McGilley Midtown Chapel.

Today, operating as McGilley Memorial Chapel-Midtown, we continue to provide cost-saving options to the families we serve. Carrying on this legacy, the 4th generation of the McGilley family, Mark and Patrick, still serves the Kansas City community.
