Welcome to Oehler Funeral Home

Oehler Funeral Home was founded by Walter C. Oehler in 1917. In 1929 he completed the funeral home at 555 Lee Street in Des Plaines.

In the Mid 1930’s Walter opened a second location in Arlington Heights and Art Lauterburg became his partner in the Arlington Heights location. Mr. Lauterburg died suddenly in 1947 and Mr. Oehler bought out his family. Walter operated his funeral home in a professional manner and business continued t grow. He built a brand new funeral home ay 2000 East Northeast Highway in Arlington Heights in 1958 to replace the smaller facility in downtown Arlington Heights.

Mr. Oehler died on December 24, 1963 and long time employees, Thomas Donovan and Robert Schaer took over the business. In 1969 they put an addition onto the existing funeral home in Des Plaines doubling its size and making it a “state of the art” facility. In December 2003, The funeral homes moved to 2099 Miner Street Des Plaines, Il. 60016. This location is about one mile from the old location.

Oehler Funeral Home and Lauterburg-Oehler Funeral Home continue to provide excellent funeral services to the community at prices all families can afford.
