Bourbonnais, IL
The Clancy-Gernon Funeral Home in Bourbonnais, which was severely damaged by fire on Sept. 19, has been demolished.
Funeral home co-owner Patty Clancy said Thursday that Clancy-Gernon's insurance company gave approval for the damaged property to be razed.
A new building will follow the same footprint of the old, Clancy said, but some small interior changes are planned. She added that the funeral home should be open sometime in the late summer or early fall.
The cause of the fire has been narrowed to something electrical, possibly from a compressor for a cooler. Clancy said the funeral home's insurance company is looking into liability issues with the insurer of the cooler manufacturer.
The fire at the funeral home at 295 Main Street Northwest resulted in more than $2 million in damage, including about $250,000 in vehicles.
