I highly recommend Warenski Funeral Home. When we suddenly lost our son to suicide, we found ourselves confronted with many tough decisions, not the least of which was regarding services, burial v. cremation, and how to honor his life. Shawn was courteous, compassionate, and professional as we sat at the table to discuss our options. He patiently explained what to expect, and answered all of our questions completely. We decided on cremation, and once we made the decision, Warenski took care of all of the arrangements and clearly communicated with us during each part of the process. Because we did not have life insurance for my son, we were very grateful for the economical choice of cremation, but Warenski treated us as if we were VIPs paying for the most pricey package, as well as added value by providing complimentary extras that some funeral homes would charge extra for. There were no hidden costs, no upselling, and no pressure. At such a vulnerable and stress-filled time for our family, Shawn and staff were gentle, kind, understanding, reliable and competent. Because we live nearby and I knew I would pass by the funeral home often, I considered and even called other funeral homes that were further away to avoid frequently getting triggered. But because they were so good to us at Warenski, now when I pass by, I feel warm fuzzies and a sense of gratitude for the care and services provided to us. Side note: Shawn has an amazing soothing voice--you'll know what I mean if you ever have a chance to consult with him. Truly, as a community, we are very fortunate to have this family business in our midst.

Kind of odd to recommend a funeral home, I’m hoping you don’t have to say goodbye too soon to your loved ones.
But if you do, I have no words for how much we loved Shawn. He is gentle and genuine, he is professional and personal.
He didn’t up sell us on anything and did all he could to make the day perfect.
My entire family would pause grieving and just rant about how impressed we were.
I wish I could give 10 stars.

Their kindness and attentiveness was greatly appreciated. Our father was interred at a military cemetery in AZ. Shawn went way above and beyond to arrange military taps and flag for his final resting place. Thank you for your care and professionalism.

My mother passed away in June (of 2022), and she had instructed that her funeral arrangements be handled by the Warenski Funeral Home. Having previously written and published a book on the death care industry, I was on guard, but quickly learned that there was no need to be with this funeral home or the individual who helped take care of my mother (and my father's wife of 49 years.) Not only were we all handled with care, but my mother looked like herself... which takes an awful lot of patience and talent on behalf of the funeral director. Shawn captured my mom's beauty, and I cannot tell you just how much that assisted my entire family in the grieving process. The fees were clear, and FAIR. We were not upsold or in any way pressured to purchase any goods or services we did not need or want. Trust me, if there had been an inkling of an issue, I would not hesitate to write about it. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. When the inevitability of having to plan funeral services finds you, you're going to want to do yourself, your loved one that has passed, as well as your family the favor of working with the Warenskis.

I have dealt with several different Funeral Homes over the years, but none of them measured up to the exceptional service and professional care given by Warenski Funeral Home. Shawn R. Warenski was wonderful to work with, and his demeanor to details was so helpful in understanding the processes. Shawn made all of the information crystal clear. Having said all of the aforementioned, the work of his staff exceeded our expectations. Thank you to everyone at Warenski. Doug Holladay

I would be amiss if I didn't give Shawn Warenski a 5-Star review. He cared for both my mother(2003) and my husband (2006).I am so grateful for his kindness and compassion that he showed through the process, start to finish. I would wholeheartedly recommend his services.

They were very respectful when they came to my home to pick up my mother after her passing. They waiting patiently as my family finished and made sure everyone had taken the time they needed. They handled the arrangements with kindness helping us through a difficult process while having to deal with the restriction placed on us due to current pandemic. They answered all our questions and allowed us to make decision without feeling pressured.

Our family had decided to hire them to take care of our needs, but Greg was very short, almost in a hurry, and he has the bedside manner of a fence post....We would not recommend them to anyone....

Came here the day after my family member passed to make funeral arrangements. As we started to go over the arrangements (i.e. discuss clothes for the deceased, obituary timeline, program, etc.) we were told almost everything had to be completed right away within 1-2 days. Greg also seemed a bit awkward as he didn’t offer any condolences when we first walked in. I know that people just say it for the sake of saying it, but it is still expected.Also, the place will not allow food or drink if you want to have a wake type of celebration in their “chapel area,” which has white carpet. Also, we asked if the dingy white tablecloths on their 2 tables (which didn’t reach the floor) were all they had, and we were told in a rude manner, yes! The casket selection seemed very minimal. Also, we were told we had to buy a vault from them which I questioned since we would normally use the cemetery to buy it. Sure enough, I was right. I saved a couple hundred going through the cemetery that had our prepaid plots.We decided not to use Warenski and are very happy we didn’t. Make sure you talk to at least 2 funeral homes and get the feel of what the funeral directors are like, because their attitude and cooperation make ALL the difference in such a difficult time. The one we worked with didn’t have much tact which is crazy when they deal with these kinds of situations daily. The owner might want to make note of that.

I have dealt with more than a few mortuaries in the past but this one was absolutely the best. They surpassed every expectation. They cared for my mother in the most respectful way and treated our family with sincere empathy and care. Everything was taken care of efficiently. We had special circumstances with which to deal and they worked around our every need. I am so grateful to Shawn Warenski for all that he did for us. Under these trying circumstances, it was the best experience we could have ever hoped for. I highly recommend them.

They handled my father's arrangements with kindness and thoughtfulness. They made my father's funeral arrangements sweet and simple for us as a family. I also serve as a local bishop and have had multiple positive experiences working with them. We are blessed to live in an area with several great options for funeral services, and Warenski Funeral Home is a wonderful choice.

Shawn took such great care of my grandma. She had been sick for some time so the last picture of her in my head was of my sick and gaunt looking grandma.Shawn worked his magic and now the last picture I have in my head of her is her beautiful healthy self. He made her look as beautiful as she did before getting sick.He is such a kind caring human that I cannot thank enough for his kindness and honesty in walking us through this process. His entire staff handled from step one to the final steps with such care and grace.Thank you Shawn, you are really a rare type of human that I really cannot thank enough for what you have done for my family. Thank you, thank you, thank you.-Cayli Jeffries Johnson

Shawn took amazing care of my wife and me when our beautiful baby Elliott was stillborn. His caring and professional staff helped us through our grieving process and he guided us and helped with tough decisions we as a couple had never thought about. We cannot thank Shawn and Jessica enough for all they did for us during this hard chapter of our life.

I am a local florist in the area and the owner/ director of this establishment was very rude to me.He yelled at me for not taking the flowers through the side door THAT WAS NOT LABELED AS THE FLOWER DOOR and messing up his carpets? Not that customers wouldn't? And my shoes weren't dirty.I have spent all this time trying to bring solice to my mourning customers, no one deserves to be treated this way...
