Never had I imagined to use the services that Melissa and her team supplied to me and my family this soon in my life. Your mind goes numb. But from the beginning, Melissa‘s calm and caring demeanor was comforting to me and my sons. She gave us guidance and advice in making decisions that we didn’t even know we needed to make. She provided the perfect amount of concern and professionalism. Hannah, Carol and Pam are perfect extensions of Melissa. Each of them helped us get through this extremely different time. Thank you. Brenda Lipar and family

My initial experience with Janowicz Funeral Home was with Melissa when my husband and I met with her to do some initial planning and also to have some questions answered. We both found her to be ultimately professional , friendly, and very kind. After my husband died, my son and I dealt mostly with Hannah and were equally impressed with her professionalism and care. She was there immediately when we had questions and most often anticipated things before we even asked the question. Hannah was thorough, considerate, kind and ultimately professional every step of the way. She could not have been more helpful and I would not hesitate to recommend Janowicz Family Funeral Home to anyone.

I have assisted family members with planning services for loved ones around the country and those funeral homes were polite and professional enough. But when it came time for me to work with Janowicz to, at first, complete the pre-planning of our mother's services and then a short time later follow through after she passed, Hannah's compassion, patience, and guidance were so heart-warming! She allowed all the time I needed to share with her a sort of history of our large family, some of the fun times we had and the individual love our parents gave to each of us. Hannah helped me to make decisions on some of the very important matters to ensure that everything was perfectly done in the manner Mom would have wanted. God certainly blessed us when He led our family to Janowicz Funeral Home. Thank you so very much for your kindness! Family of Marge Hicks

Making arrangements for a loved one is a very hard thing to do. Melissa, you made it a lot more peaceful of a process. Your soft spoken words and loving attitude calmed my heart. I am very glad that you were there to help me with this last arrangement for my husband. I would definitely tell others about Hansen Janowicz Funeral Home for the last loving act for their loved one. Thanks again, Tammy

Dear Melissa, Just a thank you to let you know how much we appreciate the fantastic job that you did in working with our family to coordinate Melvin's funeral and viewing. Of special note, I appreciate your gifted esthetician skills in making my Melvin look like himself, after so much pain and suffering the last few days of his life. Your funeral home setting and your professional demeanor were of great comfort during the difficult process. What you do is so significant! Thank you, Beverly
