Our funeral home in Westville was founded and started in 1957. It was originally known as the Weaver Funeral Home, named after the former owner J.K. Weaver. Jack Weaver owned and operated the funeral home for 31 years until he asked Michael Newhard, from Valparaiso, the current owner, if he would consider becoming the new owner and operator of the funeral home in January of 1989. In 1995 with the blessing of Jack Weaver, the funeral home name was changed to Newhard Funeral Home. Michael Newhard continues today overseeing the day to day operations of the funeral home and serving the Westville area families in their time of need along with his wife Terri, and staff, Charles Harris, Diane Lawrence, Sally Szumski, Jim Bosse, Alice Kyle, Edward Forney and Richard Fagg. Sadly, in June of 2007, Jack Weaver passed away after being ill for some time. But the very nature he established of caring for families in their time of need after the loss of a loved one still continues today with families served by Michael Newhard and his staff at the Newhard Funeral Home.

In 1892 C.W. “Charlie” Bartholomew, C. Robert Bartholomew’s grandfather, opened the C. W. Bartholomew Funeral Home. It was previously a furniture store that stood where Parea Restaurant now stands. He then moved to 15 North Washington St. where Langer and Langer Law Firm is at. From there he moved to 22 North Washington St. in 1922 when Bob’s dad, C. L. “Doc” Bartholomew, joined Bob’s grandfather in the business. It was at this time the name was changed to C.W. Bartholomew and Son, which is still the legal name of the business today. C.L. Bartholomew was a dentist and was known as Doc, he became ill in 1922 and helped his father in the family business. In 1925, C.W. Bartholomew passed away and Doc Bartholomew became the new owner of the funeral home. Doc Bartholomew was the Mayor of Valparaiso from 1934-1943. In 1946, he moved the funeral home to the present location at 102 Monroe St. When Bob Bartholomew returned home from the Navy in WWII he joined the family business in 1949. In 1997 Bob started thinking about taking it easy and retiring. In August of 1997, Bob sold the business to an independent funeral director and friend from Valparaiso named Michael Newhard. Michael also owns Newhard Funeral Home in the town of Westville, which he has had for many years. At Bartholomew and Newhard Funeral Homes, we service all aspects of funeral services such as pre-need arrangements and pre-planning consultation, traditional funeral services, help with cemetery arrangements, cremation services, video life tributes, and monuments. We strive to help people during the difficult time of loss, provide dignity and respect for the deceased, and to establish long lasting, close relationships with the families in our community.
