Located at 105 East Loula Street in downtown Olathe, this historic funeral home combines a rich legacy of local care with modern amenities to honor the lives of loved ones.

The funeral home’s history dates back to 1912, when W.L. Frye moved to Olathe with his family and established a furniture and undertaking business. In 1929, W.L. Frye and his sons opened the first licensed funeral home in Johnson County at the current location, welcoming over 2,000 guests to their open house. Over the decades, the Frye family expanded the facility, adding an air-conditioned chapel seating up to 200 guests, a private family room, and a music room in 1949. Martin “Hank” Frye, W.L.’s son, continued the tradition of excellence, serving the community with dedication until his passing in 1996. In 2002, the McGilley family joined forces with the Frye legacy, combining over 200 years of experience to create McGilley & Frye Funeral Home & Cremation Service, now part of the Dignity Memorial® network.
