Steuerle Breaks Ground on New Building

Fresh Look Coming to Villa Park Funeral Chapel Serving that's Been Area Families for 70 Years

Since 1954, the landmark funeral home, first built by Lou Steuerle, has been an iconic presence on the corner of Ardmore and Highland Avenues. For generations, Steuerle has been known as the place with the heart and intention of serving Villa Park families; and certainly, a place the Garden Village could call its own.

Ownership families have changed over time, with Villa Parker Hank Ebeling continuing the legacy and carrying the Steuerle brand: a reputation of caring and comfort. The original building at Highland and Ardmore has seen many changes as has the village.

Now with that same heart and intention, the Knollcrest Family in Lombard have become the owners and stewards of the Steuerle legacy to the next generation, building a new, up-to-date, functional building to address the changing needs and desires of Villa Park families and nearby communities who also proudly call Steuerle their hometown funeral home.

Built on the same Steuerle property, the new building will face Park Blvd, with a beautiful view of the iconic Ruggard Gazebo on the historic Illinois Prairie Path. Just as the original building was very reflective of the 1950s era Villa Park, the new building will reflect much of the most recent architecture in the village.

Steuerle is proud to offer this amazing community a new building with the features and amenities that today’s families are seeking. Steuerle continues to celebrate a proud past and a flourishing future, with the anticipated opening of the new Steuerle building in Summer 2025.
