Sturm Funeral Home - Springfield Chapel

Sturm Funeral Home - Springfield Chapel has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in Springfield, Minnesota, since its founding in 1978. Originally established by Ron and Sharon Sturm when they purchased the Hoyt Funeral Home at 407 North Jackson Avenue, the business has grown into a trusted network of funeral homes serving multiple communities across southern Minnesota. Today, under the ownership of Justin and Jennifer Asmus, the Springfield Chapel remains dedicated to providing personalized, healing funeral and cremation services that honor each life with dignity and respect.

The history of Sturm Funeral Home is one of steady expansion and deep community commitment. From its beginnings in Springfield and Comfrey, the Sturms acquired and merged several established funeral homes over the decades, including locations in Sleepy Eye, St. James, Lamberton, Mountain Lake, and Madelia. Each addition strengthened the family’s ability to serve families with local, familiar care while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and empathy. In 2004, Jay Vansickle and Justin Asmus purchased the company, and in 2022, Justin and Jennifer Asmus became the sole owners, continuing the legacy of excellence that began more than four decades ago.

The Springfield Chapel offers a full range of services, including burial and cremation options, personalized funeral ceremonies, and preplanning assistance. The staff understands that after losing a loved one, families need guidance through every detail, from arranging flowers to coordinating gathering spaces. Their approach is thoughtful and comprehensive, ensuring that each service is meaningful and tailored to the unique life being celebrated. They also provide grief support resources through their Circle of Friends program, which offers ongoing help via text and email for those navigating loss.
