For three generations and over 80 years the Cooney Funeral Home has served families in our communities with the highest degree of care and comfort.

We know that the death of a loved one can bring about some of the most important decisions you may ever have to make in a short period of time. That's where we would like to help.

We'll serve as a guide and advisor while arranging your funeral plans and help you in any way we can to ease your sorrow. We want your trust in us. We will serve you in a professional manner on a personal level, just as our parents and grandparents did before us.

It was back in 1922 when Thomas J. Cooney opened his one room funeral parlor on Chicago's north side. It was located on the corner of Marshfield and Addison in the shadows of the St. Andrew Church. We take tremendous pride in his decision to serve others in their time of need as we continue to put families first when their loved ones pass away. In 1928, our grandfather moved to a larger building at 3552 N. Southport Ave.

His warm personality and generous being soon made him a popular man within the community. His sons Thomas Jr. and Martin A. would follow him into the business and become the second generation to control the business.

After serving in World War II, they reconstructed the funeral home on Southport doubling its size. After serving the Lakeview neighborhood for 80 years we decided to close the Southport location. It was the result of a congested area where parking became impossible in the bustling neighborhood.

We purchased two properties, one at 625 N. Busse Highway in Park Ridge and the second property at 3918 W. Irving Park Rd. We assure you that our tradition of serving our friends and families on the North side of Chicago will continue for generations to come.
