When James P. McGilley joined Mellody-Joyce-Taylor in 1930, the company, which was originally founded in the early 1920s, became known as Mellody & McGilley. Mr. McGilley bought the Eylar Brothers Funeral Home in 1945, merging the two companies at Linwood Boulevard and Woodland Street. Mellody-McGilley-Eylar continued to expand, buying Quirk & Tobin Undertakers at Linwood Boulevard and Main Street in 1954.
By 1970 the mortuary at Linwood Boulevard and Main Street had changed its name to McGilley Midtown Chapel. The business is today owned and operated by 2nd generation members of the McGilley family. As part of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers, the company offers direct cremation, traditional burial and cremation with memorial ceremonies as part of their overall services.
