McCullough-Delaney & Butler Funeral Home

McCullough-Delaney & Butler Funeral Home, located at 714 East Gibson Street in the quiet residential heart of New Berlin, Illinois, is a trusted pillar of compassionate end-of-life care for Sangamon County and beyond. With a legacy dating back to 1893, the funeral home originally operated as the McCullough-Delaney Funeral Home before joining the Butler Funeral Homes and Cremation Tribute Center group in 2005. This merger brought together deep local roots with the resources and expertise of a respected regional network, allowing the home to offer families the best of both worlds: personalized, attentive service backed by decades of experience.

The funeral home is housed in a welcoming two-story white house that provides an intimate, homelike setting for visitations, candle-lighting ceremonies, small receptions, and other gatherings. The facility is fully wheelchair accessible with a free on-site parking lot, ensuring that all guests can attend comfortably. Services offered encompass traditional burials, cremation services, and modern celebrations of life. The home’s state-of-the-art crematory is designed to allow families to be present if they wish, and a rigorous custody-of-care program guarantees the dignified handling of loved ones every step of the way. Licensed, certified staff—many of whom are trained as certified celebrants—work one-on-one with each family to create a service that truly reflects the unique life being honored, from casket and urn selection to floral arrangements, music, and decor.

Beyond traditional funeral and cremation services, McCullough-Delaney & Butler offers a range of specialized options. For veterans, the home coordinates military honors, honor guards, and even a horse-drawn hearse, and participates in the Dignity Memorial Homeless Veterans Burial Program. For those who loved the open road, a motorcycle hearse can be arranged for a final ride. Environmentally conscious families can choose green burial options through the home’s affiliation with Roselawn Memorial Park, one of only a few Green Burial Council-certified cemeteries in central Illinois. The Prairie View Reception Center, part of the same group, provides elegant event spaces for memorial receptions, celebrations of life, and other gatherings.

Pre-planning is encouraged to ease the burden on loved ones, with prepayment plans available that offer up to 10% savings. Aftercare support includes access to a 24-hour compassion helpline and a grief library with helpful articles. The team at McCullough-Delaney & Butler Funeral Home is committed to treating every family like their own, providing compassionate guidance through every detail, from the first call to the final farewell.
