  Basler Funeral Home

St. Genevieve, Missouri

 

Basler Funeral Home have completed a new 12,000 sq. ft. funeral home.  They have been serving the Ste. Genevieve community over 100 years.  The business was founded in 1898 by John and Sophia Basler, and was run by them until John’s death in 1932.  John’s son, Leo C. “Pumpkin” Basler Sr. and his wife Agnes took over the funeral home.  Today the funeral home is owned and operated by Pumpkin’s son, Leo C. “Chipper” Basler Jr. and his wife Carolyn, whom have had the business since Pumpkin’s death in 1971.  Chipper’s son, Eric Basler, has joined the firm and marks the 4th generation to work at Basler Funeral Home.
