Curly Lambeau is buried in the southeast corner of Allouez Catholic Cemetery in a family plot with his father Marcel, mother Mary, and brother Oliver and Oliver's wife, Dorothy Haslam. Lambeau, co-founder of the Green Bay Packers and the driving force behind their survival, died of a heart attack on June 1, 1965, in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Funeral services were held four days later at Schauer and Schumacher Funeral Home in Green Bay, and burial was the same day. Pallbearers included Don Hutson, Arnie Herber, and Johnny Blood, three of Lambeau's Hall of Fame players, and former rival George Halas of the Chicago Bears was an honorary pallbearer. In his eulogy at the funeral home, Monsignor John Gehl, longtime pastor at Saint Francis Xavier Cathedral, said, "The final gun has sounded for Curly Lambeau. The Lord will total up the final score, and may God leave him with a winning score."
