John Andres
In the 1800's, the funeral home was begun under the direction of John Andres Sr. After the death of John Andres, Sr. in 1912, Joseph Andres and his wife took over the business. At that time, there were no funeral homes similar to today’s funeral homes. Funerals were normally conducted at private homes until state law required special types of preparation.
Joseph and Kate Andres
The first physical funeral home was located at the crossing in Dover, at the intersection of State Route 1 and North Dearborn Road, across from the residence of Joseph Andres. This arrangement existed until the present funeral home was built in 1962 and relocated as the Andres-Wuestefeld Funeral Home at 25615 State Route 1.
Edith Andres Wuestefeld
Edith Andres Wuestefeld operated the funeral home with her mother after the death of her father, Joseph Andres, in 1942. Edith eventually assumed complete responsibility for funeral operations.
John M. Wuestefeld
John Wuestefeld joined the funeral home business in 1965. After the death of his mother Edith in 1979, John became the owner and director of the present Andres-Wuestefeld Funeral Home.
John continued the tradition of excellence in serving the community as his family has done over the past generations. His main focus was to offer personalized service with the sincerest concern for those who suffer the loss of a loved one.
Nicole Wuestefeld
Nicole has been a part of the family business since she was a little girl. Arranging flowers and cutting grass at the funeral home were just a couple of her jobs until she was old enough to start working in funeral services. In 2016, Nicole decided to follow in her grandmother’s and father’s footsteps and began attending Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science. After graduating in August 2017, Nicole left her corporate job and started full-time at the funeral home.
Nicole feels honored to continue the family tradition of providing compassionate care to families who have lost a loved one. This calling allows her to focus on families and community as she guides people through one of the most challenging times in their lives.
Andres-Wuestefeld Funeral Home accepts an award from the State of Indiana for being in business for over 100 years.
