Mark Claiborne

Words aren't enough for how thankful my family and I are for how well Daniel O'Riley Funeral home took care of us. Mark and his team went above and beyond our expectations and helped us with every step in the process. Thank you Mark, Macy, and the rest of the team. You guys are amazing.

How do I make a positive review from the worst event in my life? It's not easy. That's why I waited a couple weeks to write this. I considered and visited 3 homes. Chris, Mark and Macie really made everything run smooth, very professional, beautiful facility, no detail overlooked. They really exemplify the meaning of personal service.

My husband had passed unexpectedly, needless to say I was a nervous wreck. There was a very difficult situation in my family. The people at Daniel F O’ Riley assisted us in every way possible to make sure our specific situation went as smooth as possible under the circumstances. I highly recommend their services above any I have ever had to attend or be a part of. Thank you to the people of Daniel F. O’Riley. Thank you Mark.

The group at Daniel F O Riley funeral home ...particularly Mark and Macy...were very kind, sympathetic and helpful during a difficult and stressful time. The staff felt like additional family members. We used this funeral home for both my parents ...12 years apart...and cannot say enough good things about the services and sympathy offered. Five star rating for five star people!

Daniel F. O’Riley Funeral Home serviced our needs while providing care and comfort to our family. Chris, Mark, Macy, Karen and Paul were professional and friendly. Attention to detail made all the difference such as photographing the floral arrangements and accompanying cards for reference. The personalized Guest Book was a nice touch and the customized Thank You cards were appreciated.

Dianne Johnston

The funeral home staff was very caring, compassionate, and detail oriented. Our family appreciated how professional everyone there was to create a beautiful viewing and beyond for our son including: pictures, video, helping with the obituary, prayer cards, obituary keepsake, thank you cards, flowers for the casket, picking out the casket etc, coordinating with church and cemetery, and grief counceling. It was much more than what I expected from a funeral home. We are truly grateful for the kindness that was shown to our family and friends during this difficult time.

My 39 year old brother passed away November 24, 2018 in Indianapolis, IN and we live 4hiurs away in Rock Island, IL. We have never had to deal with preparing a for a deceased loved one and we had no idea where to go. So I googled best funeral homes in Indianapolis area and O’Riley Funeral came out on top so of course I contacted them and all I can say is they did a tremendous job! The love and concern for the loss of our loved one was truly genuine and sincere. We have never met them in person, but just talking on the phone was so comforting which made the whole process transpire smoothly and painless. I HIGHLY recommend O’Riley Funeral Home to all who may be looking for a place to handle the loss of their loved one. Thank you O’Riley Funeral Home. You made our family deal with our loss a stress free one. We truly love and appreciate you all and thank you from the bottom of our heart. ❤️

It's always sad coming to a funeral home but the employees were very caring!

I had made no preparations at all even though it was obvious that my wife was dangerously ill. My first thought on being called during the night by the nursing home to tell me of her passage was to contact O’Riley because of the kind of service they provided some years ago for my mother’s and father’s funerals. Chris Branson and his staff went far beyond what I anticipated to take care of literally every detail throughout the period from transporting my wife from the nursing home to the interment and afterward in the most efficient way possible. Chris Branson personally advised us and took time to answer all our questions and to offer alternatives when my son and I had difficult decisions to make. The staff made all the arrangements with the church and cemetery and was present but not intrusive during the visitation hours so that I could get help if I needed it. Their follow up activities in the days after the funeral were astounding. I could go on page after page detailing all the things they did. Let me summarize by saying "It has been one of my rules of life that one gets what one pays for - if one is lucky". In choosing O'Riley I got above and beyond whatever I could have imagined I was paying for. I find it inconceivable to believe that anyone could get better service at any other funeral home.

I cannot express how professional and accomodating Mark and Macy were for my Fathers departure to heaven. I can only hope when it is my time to go that you handle my arrangements as well.

Karen Askelson

We worked with a couple of staff members, but mainly with Mark. Everyone was very compassionate and extremely helpful. The facility was like walking into a welcoming home and was very nicely decorated. I’m certain our mother was pleased to be celebrated there.

Angela Ransdell

could not ask for a more caring staff Thank you Mark Macy and Chris for your dedication to my family !

Greg Backus

Wonderful service. Second to none and very empathetic to our needs.

Julianne Bardy

Our family had back to back funerals to plan and attend for 2 siblings. The staff went beyond our expectations in helping us navigate through the process. Every single employee (particularly Mark and Macy) we came in contact with was caring and compassionate in all aspects. It could not have been done any better.

I would recommend the Daniel F. O'Riley funeral home to anyone searching for a place to hold services for a loved one. The staff here are authentically compassionate and empathetic for your grief. When my mom was nearing the end of her life, I started calling around to get estimates on funeral service costs. Out of the 5 or so that I called, O'Riley's was the only one who answered the phone and answered my questions immediately. Macy, the assistant I spoke to initially, asked if I wanted to come in the next day to discuss any questions I had. When I arrived the next morning, I was met at the door by Mark. Immediately, I could see a sense of compassion in him. He extended his condolences, which felt genuine. From the beginning, I let Mark know that we were on a tight budget. After giving me a thorough overview of what a funeral entails (I had never planned one before and felt lost and overwhelmed), we shared my mom's wishes with Mark. He used that information to present his most affordable options first. He, then, asked if we'd like to see the anything in a slightly higher price range. Mark remained very respectful of our need to stick with a budget and never showed us anything "pricier" without our consent. He took time to explain the pros and cons of each option and helped us identify areas in which we could cut costs. At the end of this meeting, Mark walked my sister, sister-in-law, and me to the door. He encouraged us to take our time with discussing and choosing a funeral home to care for our mother. And he said that, whether or not we chose O'Riley, they would be thinking about and praying for our family. I went back to the hospital that day and shared my experience at O'Riley with the rest of my family. We decided not to even meet with any other funeral homes. Mark and his staff demonstrated so much care for my sisters and me at our initial meeting, that we were not willing to sacrifice that compassion and empathy just to save a little money (assuming that we would actually save money going somewhere else). After my mother's passing, my siblings and I went back to O'Riley to make final arrangements. Again, Mark was patient and compassionate. He carefully and thoroughly walked us through each and every step in planning my mom's services. He answered ALL of our questions and shared some of his own personal experiences with us to help guide us through non-funeral related issues. O'Riley funeral home took on so much of the responsibility for coordinating and preparing for the services. Mark communicated with the local church where my mother's funeral mass was held. He also coordinated with the out-of-town cemetery where my mother was buried. We provided pictures and song requests, but they created the playlist and slideshow presented at my mother's visitation. They set up all of the items we wanted displayed. They handled floral arrangements and getting copies of her death certificates. They handled the registry book, prayer cards, and announcements. We were given the option of writing our mom's obituary or having the staff do so. They took care of so many details.They even personally delivered all of the flower arrangements to my home following the funeral. Our mother's death was the first major loss my 3 siblings and I had experienced. O'Riley helped ease our burden during this overwhelming and confusing and tragic time. Our mother's funeral was so beautiful and perfect. We are so incredibly grateful to the staff at O'Riley for making this process so much easier than we could have hoped for. Thank you to Mark, Macy, Angie, Karen, Greg, Gary, and the rest of the staff who supported us through this time.

Deborah Watson

I can't thank Macie and Mark enough for all their help in planning our father's memorial service. Having no previous experience with funeral homes I expected that it would be an overwhelming task. However, they made the entire process feel so easy and stress-free during such a difficult time. The facility was beautiful and the price was very reasonable! Thank you again! Your kindness and compassion is truly appreciated!

Carol Tandyk

Compassionate, Caring and Flexible. Supported our family every step of the process. In a time of great loss, the specialists at 0’Riley provided a wonderful environment to celebrate life.

Thank you Director Mark and the team! I appreciate this Funeral Home. They were professional and respect my time. Used my daughter name multiple times like she was still alive and I appreciate that. And they referral me to a non profit organization to help me financially. Thank you guys again!

Tricia Milto

We will never be able to thank O'Riley Funeral Home enough for the incredible job they did on our son's funeral. We were at a loss when our son passed away and Chris took us under his wing and walked us through one of the most difficult times of our lives. His respect, patience and understanding were so comforting as we stumbled through the process. When it was all over we truly felt like it could not have gone any better. Thank you Chris and the O'Riley staff for everything you did.

Amber Comer

Daniel F. O'Riley Funeral Home provided a beautiful service for my brother's funeral. The staff was polite, helpful, and genuinely cared. The staff made sure to make everything as easy as possible for our family. O'Riley Funeral Home took a large weight off of our shoulders during a very difficult time.

Marsha Brinson

Our family was well received at O'Rileys. We felt at home and among friends from the first moment we walked in. They offered more sugggestions than we ever imagined. I would recommend them to everyone. Thank You O'Riley's, you are awesome.

Mary Jo Steele

Jake Pitcher

The staff were quite and reserved. Helpful when needed.

Bob C

Out of all the funeral homes in the Greenwood area this is by far the best one we've had many funerals at other funeral homes and none of them take the care consideration take the time out to really work with you to give a good send-off the way you wanted rather than the way they want it I would highly recommend them to anybody

Sarah Richardson

The staff members of Daniel F. O'Riley Funeral Home have helped with the funerals of three of my immediate family members over the last 10 years. They are caring and sincere, with great attention to detail, which allowed me to grieve without worrying about any aspects of the services. The O'Riley facility was updated in 2017, and is a beautiful and peaceful place to say goodbye to loved ones. I would highly recommend O'Riley for those who truly want excellent care and service during a difficult time.

Garry Busald

Tyler Ewigleben

We lost our little girl earlier this year. The folks at Daniel F. O'Riley Funeral Home were incredibly gracious and respectful as my wife and I went through a process that we never imagined would be part of our story. Their partnership with nonprofits focused on supporting bereaved parents speaks to the character of this business. Thank you for being part of Baby E's story.

Karen Bevis

The attention to the family, the details and comfort were amazing. The staff, every one of them, was wonderful to work with and available at all times. The photo video and the diarama that was made was a special touch and welcomed. We chose O'Reilly without hesitation and were so happy we did.

Diana Haeberle

Our family was please with all the care and concern offered to us as we went through the death of our Mom. They made the experience beautiful , smooth and detail oriented. Many compliments were made about how Mom looked at the showing.

My experience is having my friend be heartbroken because of this company's cold hearted way of conducting business. Apparently, you say one thing over the phone and another in person. Since a heartless, venemous, evil filled mother and daughter duo decided they didn't want their daughter/sibling to pay final respects L you decided to oblige instead of do the right thing. You could have easily made it to where everyone could have paid their respects,but you, instead of doing the right thIng followed the $$$. Not even a balloon can be released? Out in the open??!! What a non way to show compassion and empathy. The complete utter opposite of what funeral homes are supposed to do. All of you involved in this utter disregard of human decency will one day have a maker to face. What kind of human decides they will not let their daughter/sister know their father has passed? To tell other family members not to say anything? To blast social media with stupidity. You supported this dysfunctional behavior instead of allowing 2 minutes for a daughter to say goodbye to her father. You were simply asked for a brief moment so that there could closure. Cold blooded. (Your attempt to defend your poor choice of business is mute. There is already a handful of family that willl not even bother attending the funeral because of this terrible treatment. You might have gotten $$$ this time but you definitely lost even more $$$ with the loss of future customers because of experience had with the way you run your business.)

I would highly recommend O'Riley. During one of the most challenging times of our lives, Chris and the O'Riley staff made my son's funeral a great tribute to his life. The level of service was exceptional and exceeded all of our expectations.
