HEALY CHAPEL

The Healy Chapel is one of the oldest funeral homes in the United States, and one of the few to be continuously owned and operated by the same family. Its beginnings date to the arrival of the Healy family to the Kendall County area in 1854, where they settled a farm along Rob Roy Creek in Bristol Township. William H. Healy was born the year before the family's move and grew up on the farm. Tiring of the farming lifestyle, he apprenticed himself to A.L. Shaver of Yorkville to learn the science of embalming and the art of conducting funerals. In 1885, he opened his own funeral business in Yorkville... The Healy Chapel Funeral & Cremation Services has been serving the Aurora and Sugar Grove area communities for many years. We're thankful to be an important part of this community and will continue our longstanding legacy of helping families honor their loved ones.
