Our History
We are a combination of several funeral service families brought together to serve the area. From the beginning of Quinn Funeral Home in 1901, to the gathering of Ortner Funeral Home, Doyle Funeral Home and the formation of Nunn & McGrath Funeral Directors, we have been a part of Utica and the surrounding communities for over 100 years. The addition of Myslinski Funeral Home, founded in 1963, Kowalczyk Funeral Home, founded in 1930, and Surridge & Roberts Funeral Home, founded in 1927, added further expertise and experience to our diverse group of people dedicated to serving our families.
