Shirley Brothers has a rich history rooted in family and community. Founder Ottie N. Shirley was born in 1873 in Hendricks County and began his career in funeral service in Brownsburg. In 1898, he established the O.N. Shirley Funeral Home at 2755 East Washington Street. His brothers Luther and Arley joined between 1909 and 1913, and in 1919 the three incorporated as Shirley Brothers Company, Inc. By the mid-1920s, it had become the largest funeral establishment in Indianapolis. Over the decades, the company expanded to five locations across the city, including the Irving Hill Chapel, which has served the east side for generations.

The Irving Hill Chapel operates Monday through Sunday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and its staff is available 24/7 for immediate needs. The team is dedicated to providing professional, empathetic guidance, whether families are planning ahead or need support during a difficult time. They believe in celebrating life, not just mourning loss, and strive to create meaningful, personalized services. With over a century of experience, Shirley Brothers continues to be a pillar of strength and comfort for Indianapolis families, blending tradition with modern care.
