Designed to feel calm and welcoming, this is a place where the people who knew your loved one can come together and honor their life.
Jessica Lambert and the whole McGann team involved with our recent funeral on Thursday, March 4. Thanks again for all you did to make my Dad’s celebration so memorable. He would be super proud!!
Working with someone like you (17 years experience), who is so passionate about your job and helping families at a most difficult time, has been an amazing experience. Your (and your firms’) reputation for more intimate, hands on/high touch funeral services were on display immediately when two catholic parish funeral coordinators recommended you so highly.
You were truly a trusted advisor and made what had the makings of a family disaster (very short timeline for service and lots of family emotions on type of service) turn out to be an amazing experience/celebration of my Dad’s life. Your attention to detail, super clear and timely communications and sensitivity were priceless when there was so much pressure & anxiety (&grief) being dealt with. Every detail we planned for was clearly communicated and executed without a hitch. Having someone like you who knows the Catholic faith and funeral protocols can’t be underestimated.
My sources tell me your pricing was competitive even with “higher touch/personal services” factored in.
I give my highest recommendation to anyone considering funeral services in the South Bend area to consider McGann & Jessica for all your funeral needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you still have a funeral if you choose cremation?
Yes. Cremation is simply the method of final disposition, it has nothing to do with whether or not you hold a service. You can still have a full funeral with a viewing, a graveside gathering, or a memorial — before or after cremation. Many families find that a meaningful service brings real comfort, regardless of their choice of disposition. We'll help you plan something that fits.
How soon can you pick up my loved one?
We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including nights, weekends, and holidays. When you call, we'll arrange a prompt, dignified transfer into our care. You don't need to have all the details figured out first. Just call, and we'll take it from there.
How do I know I'll receive the right ashes?
From the moment your loved one enters our care, we follow a strict identification process through every step of the cremation process. A documented chain of custody means the cremated remains returned to you are, without question, those of your loved one.
