Our History
In 1894 Francis L. Conway founded the Conway Funeral Home. Upon his death in 1936, Francis Conway left the business in the hands of sons Leonard and Philip. Following in his father’s, uncles and grandfather’s footsteps, current proprietor Francis L. Conway entered funeral service, as did his sons Philip and Kevin, becoming the fourth generation of the family to serve families in the Peabody and surrounding communities.
Cahill Funeral Home was founded in 1911 by Patrick M. Cahill, an orphan and leather factory worker who later served on the school committee and as city treasurer. The business opened on Foster St. and moved to its current location on Church St. next to St. John the Baptist Church.
Frank Cahill sold the funeral home in 1983 to Benoit (Ben) and Maureen Brodeur. Mr. Cahill continued to stay active in the business, and was a familiar face to all those who have visited 20 Church St.
In May 2000, Conway Funeral Home and Cahill-Brodeur Funeral Home, merged into a newly created firm called Conway, Cahill-Brodeur Funeral Home. Today, the business is owned and managed by Kevin & Frank Conway, continuing the tradition started more than 120 years ago.

The Conway family and each member of our Funeral Home team works hard to make our Funeral Homes as welcoming and inviting as possible for our client families. 20 Church Street has been a landmark in Peabody for many years, and our purpose built facility at 82 Lynn Street is one of the most modern and spacious funeral homes in the Greater Boston area.
