Reaching out to Piasecki Funeral Home early allows us to coordinate arrangements, communicate with out-of-town providers, and guide you through every step.

Our priority is to ensure your loved one is brought home with dignity, respect, and the highest level of care.

When a death occurs outside Wisconsin, two funeral homes work together:

A death away from home may involve additional costs, especially for transportation and coordination.
