Prior to 1930, funerals and visitations were held in the family’s residence. The first funeral parlor was opened inWaterloo, Illinois in 1930. The funeral home moved again in 1937 and once more in 1988, to its current location. The Quernheim Funeral Home is still family owned and operated by the fourth, fifth, and sixth generations.
