Our History

Our History

Our family, like Orland Park, has grown immensely, but our unparalleled commitment to you and your family remains the same today as it was 47 years ago.

In December of 1976, Ed Damstra II and family opened the doors of Colonial Chapel to the people and families of Orland Park, Tinley Park and the surrounding communities.

We were the first funeral home in Orland Park that was built as a funeral home. Since then, our family has served thousands of families from Orland Park and surrounding areas.

Our reputation for excellence has grown with each family we have served. These are the people who know that Colonial Chapel is not just another funeral home; rather, we become like family that cares for them and their loved ones.
