Sturm Funeral Home - Comfrey Chapel

Sturm Funeral Home - Comfrey Chapel is a trusted provider of compassionate funeral and cremation services in southern Minnesota. Part of the larger Sturm Funeral & Cremation Services family, this chapel serves the Comfrey community and surrounding areas with a commitment to personalized, meaningful ceremonies that honor the lives of loved ones. The business traces its roots to 1978 when Ron and Sharon Sturm purchased the Hoyt Funeral Home in Springfield and Comfrey.

In 2004, Jay Vansickle and Justin Asmus purchased the firm, and in 2022, Justin and Jennifer Asmus became sole owners, continuing the legacy of excellence. The Comfrey Chapel, located at 101 North Field Street, was constructed in 1994 and features a modern, welcoming facility. The home offers a full range of services, including traditional burials, cremations, and preplanning assistance through Prairie Planning Services. Staff help families personalize every detail, from ceremony design to flower arrangements, ensuring a healing experience. On-site parking and wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking lots make the chapel accessible to all. The business also provides grief support resources, including the Circle of Friends program, which offers texts and emails with coping strategies and practical guidance.
