McGann Hay Funerals

McGann Hay Funerals, with its Granger Chapel located at 13260 SR 23 at Cherry Road, has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in the Michiana region since 1842. Originally founded as the Notre Dame Undertaking Parlor, the business was purchased by the McGann family in 1911 and has since grown into the leading funeral and cremation provider serving South Bend, Mishawaka, Granger, and the greater Notre Dame area. Today, McGann Hay operates four licensed facilities across north-central Indiana, with the Granger Chapel being the only funeral home dedicated to serving the Granger/southwestern Michigan communities, including Niles, Edwardsburg, St. Joseph, Benton Harbor, and the inland lakes area.

The Granger Chapel offers a full spectrum of services designed to honor each life with dignity and respect. Families can choose from traditional funeral services, cremation options, and specialized arrangements such as green burials and accommodations for Jewish Chevra Kadisha practices. The facility features an onsite chapel, wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking, and a warm, comfortable environment that has been described by visitors as “gorgeous and comfortable.” The staff includes both male and female funeral directors who are experienced in religious customs and committed to creating personalized, meaningful experiences.

McGann Hay also operates the American Cremation Society, the oldest direct cremation society in Indiana, ensuring affordable and respectful cremation options. The funeral home provides comprehensive services including burial, cremation, memorial gatherings, and pre-planning assistance. While general price lists are not publicly posted online, the funeral home complies with the FTC Funeral Rule by providing itemized pricing upon request. Estimated costs from third-party sources indicate traditional full-service burial around $11,345, full-service cremation approximately $8,860, and direct cremation starting at $1,200.

With a strong commitment to community, McGann Hay has earned a 4.0-star rating from families who appreciate the caring, compassionate staff and the ability to create unique tributes. The Granger Chapel stands as a modern, welcoming facility that combines over 180 years of tradition with contemporary amenities, offering families a place to gather, remember, and celebrate the lives of their loved ones.
