Description
To find a time when the Wasik family was not providing funeral care in the Detroit area, one would have to go back to the start of the 20th century. Founded in 1904 by Frank J. Wasik, Wasik Funeral Home is currently celebrating its 115th year of service and fourth generation of family ownership. Through its long history, Wasik Funeral Home has never strayed from the integrity and principals the company was founded on over a century ago. Until his death 1924, Frank J. Wasik owned and ran Wasik Funeral Home on the eastside of Detroit. After Frank J. passed away, his oldest son, Frank A. Wasik managed the company until his death in 1932. Hedwig Wasik, the wife of Frank J., took over the operations of the funeral home until 1942. Jerome F. Wasik, the son of Frank Wasik, became the proprietor and funeral director of the firm at that time. With business expanding, Jerome Wasik moved the home to a larger location just around the corner from where the original space was located. During 1964, both of Jerome's sons, Jerome F. Wasik, Jr. and Joseph J. Wasik had joined their father in the family business upon their completion of Mortuary Science programs. As the business continued to expand even further, the Wasik family decided to open a second funeral home location in Detroit . Wasik Funeral Home closed its original Detroit location in 1988, and later sold the other Detroit home, ending 84 years of continued funeral care service in the city of Detroit. By 1989, the Wasik Funeral Home turned its focus to Detroit 's neighboring city, opening the current Warren location in January of that year. Jerome F. Wasik, Sr., the president and inspiration of Wasik Funeral Home passed away in 1996, after 54 years of running the family business. His two sons succeeded him as owners of Wasik Funeral Home, and not long after, started planning the development of a second home in Shelby Township . Their project came to fruition in 2000, and on April 1 st of that year, a second Wasik Funeral Home began operation. Today, six Wasik family members spanning four generations are involved in the running and maintenance of the Wasik Funeral Homes. With 100 years of family tradition and experience, we look forward to continually serving the area with quality funeral care service for the next 100 years.
