For this type of need, at such a difficult time in life, Chris has truly been a blessing. Chris Chelbana has also served the funeral needs for my father, and most recently sister, with the highest degree of professionalism, dignity and respect. His charges for funeral services are very reasonable and more importantly he treats you and your circumstance as a friend and not just another customer to be processed then out the door. He even has gone above and beyond with accommodating us in the surrounding situations with our sister's unexpected passing. Also, as a side note, and having been there several times, the funeral home itself is very nice due to Chris's restoration and improvement efforts. To Chris and Castle Hill I can only give the highest of recommendation. Richard Z.

When it came time to honor our mother, we weren't sure whether the new building and ownership would provide the same level of care we had come to expect. Any uncertainty disappeared the moment we met Ema, the funeral director, and Toni, the office manager. The space is bright, modern, and beautifully designed while still feeling warm and deeply comforting. More importantly, Ema and Toni guided us through every step with compassion, professionalism, and remarkable attention. They executed countless moving pieces on a very short timeline with grace and precision, exceeding even our highest expectations. One of the most touching moments was discovering a special gift they created to honor two of our mother's hobbies, a gesture inspired simply by reading her obituary. That level of thoughtfulness speaks volumes about the kind of people they are and the care they bring to their work. During one of life's most difficult moments, Steuerle Funeral Home provided steadiness, dignity, and heartfelt support. My family and I recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking a funeral home that leads with compassion and handles every detail with extraordinary care.

Ok so, my Dad is dead. Not just regular dead... the kind of dead that leaves everyone either in…read moreutter shock or in a horrified recoil type of reaction and the extra kicker is that I live over 2000 miles away from everyone in my family and somehow I'm the only one sane enough to put together this whole post-life thing for the one person who was MY person in life. It's ok. I mean it's not "okay". At all. But, it is... what it is (hate that phrase) and it really is as bad as you think. But it's worth finding a place with people who are honest and well-versed in these things to help you carry the weight of grief and won't pounce at your disadvantage. Several years ago I was involved in a rather turbulent argument with a local funeral home (not this one) and because of that we could no longer use them (and just for the record, the only way I would go back there is *literally* over my dead body) and because I was the person who was engaged in the battle with them (supported by my Dad, though), when my Dad, aka my favorite person to ever exist took his life, I was the person tasked with finding a new family funeral home and planning all the arrangements. My best friend's mom helped me find Steuerle as she'd gone to high school with Hank, the owner, and his wife, about 45+ years ago and they'd kept in touch and I'd also been here on several occasions for funerals as I grew up in this town and my grandma (my Dad's mom) lives about a mile from here so I figured it was a good central location for most and while it is on the older side and not fancy at all, it would do just fine for my Dad, whose wishes were clear that he didn't care what we did as long as he was cremated. When I was a kid he'd say he didn't care if we threw him in the trash, just get his body cremated first. I loved his dark humor... of course, I didn't know at the time how soon I'd have to access that information. Hank and Brian helped me from beginning to end and even let me conference in from across the country while my poor mother sat in shock and signed where I told her. They were not only kind and compassionate but they made us feel like we were family that they just hadn't seen in a while. The whole process was something that seemed daunting at first, from having conversations with the county coroner to city detectives, and then of course, the part where you're warned your whole life that the funeral is where you're really taken for your money and emotions, but that wasn't the case here. They walked me through everything and all our options. They were frank yet compassionate and didn't question or push through any of my decisions, based on what I thought would be a safe compromise between my Dad's wishes and my families emotional needs. There's a small parking lot and plenty of street parking as well as a divey dive bar (Ardmore Lounge) right next door if you need to pop out for a noble drink. It's not a huge place and there's only one room for a service but I like that you're not at a place where multiple services are happening at once. The place is the opposite of modern and for as many funerals as I've attended here, the thing that sticks out the second most are the worldly (and maybe a bit homely) ceramic dolls in the back glass cases (not my fave but boy will I never forget them), and the thing that sticks out the most is the hometown comfort and blue-collar nature of the place. It's not for everyone, but it was for us and while my Dad may have rolling over in his proverbial grave over our insistence of having a to-do over him, it meant so much to have this space that was able to welcome our friends and loved ones and our family. Oh! And the one last major favor they allowed us since there were two days where they weren't booked after my Dad's service, was that we were able to leave a lot of the floral arrangements there so we could come back in trips since we were not prepared for the amount that people would send. That was a huge relief for me who was in town without a car and having to borrow what I could from family to take trips back and forth to grab everything and donate. Life is hard for everyone and losing someone you love (more than anything in the entire world x infinity) certainly doesn't help that, but one thing that matters and makes a difference is when people show up. Especially when those people are strangers. I can't thank Steuerle enough for working with us to honor my Dad and give us a place for so many people who were previously strangers to become family. ps- hug your Dad(s) if you got 'em.
