Welcome to Hollenbeck-Cahill Funeral Homes

About Us

Hollenbeck-Cahill Funeral Homes, Inc. is the result of a merger in 1987 of The Hollenbeck Funeral Chapel and the Francis D. Cahill Funeral Home,  two funeral establishments with 95 years of combined service to Bradford area families.

Our location at 33 South Avenue was originally built in 1887 by Otto Koch as a working funeral establishment. In 1919 Mr. Otho B. Chatley purchased an interest in the business and it was operated as the Koch-Chatley Memorial Chapel.  In 1964, Brooks Hollenbeck purchased the building and moved his funeral home to the present location and operated the Hollenbeck Funeral Chapel at this location with his son, Gale Hollenbeck, and he continued to operate the funeral home until the merger.

Our location at 372 East Main Street originally opened in 1937 by Gordon Healy.  The Healy Funeral Home was McKean County¡¯s first residential funeral home.  Gordon Healy operated the funeral home until his death in 1957.  Upon his death, Mrs. Marion Healy ran the funeral home under a ¡®Widow¡¯s License¡± until 1963, when Francis D. Cahill purchased the funeral home.  He, along with his son Michael F. Cahill continued to run the Francis D. Cahill Funeral home until the merger.

In 1993, Gregory A. Buckner became a partner in the firm.  Upon the retirement of Gale Hollenbeck and Francis Cahill, Gregory Buckner and Michael F. Cahill operated the funeral home until Mr. Buckner retired in 2006.  Michael F. Cahill is now the owner of the funeral home and operates both locations.
