The Mohnke Janowicz Funeral Home difference

“I lost a childhood friend at the end of January 2025. My friend had no arrangements made and his death was unexpected and sudden. In my desperation to get his affairs in order days before his demise, I was scrambling to take care of his affairs as executor of his estate. I didn't have time to make appointments but could only make last minute visits at various businesses to handle his estate. One of these visits was to Mohnke Janowicz Funeral Home, Big Rapids. Under much stress and anguish I was greeted warmly and was able to make arrangements on the spot. I feel truly blessed to have had this funeral home help me with the burden of cremation arrangements, in such an expeditious manner. The staff was very sympathetic to my needs and my emotional state. I would highly recommend them to family and friends. ”

“I recently attended a visitation here for Larry Staffen. A wonderful man who will be greatly missed by all who knew him. You can tell by all the people that came to visit and show support to his family. The funeral home had lots of space to accommodate everyone. They were very friendly. Thank you for all you did.”

“The loss of a loved one is traumatic no matter how the death occurs. Both Shari and Melissa helped me to deal with very difficult decisions in a kind and gentle manner. They allowed me to do what was best for us, for this situation. No questioning, no doubting, or pushing me to do more to celebrate the life of my brother. I was comforted by them every step of the way and I appreciate every little thing they have done.”

“It is a hard setting up a funeral for a family member. Trusting and feeling comfortable with the funeral home is so important. Sheri and Ron Mohnke were excellent. They were very accommodating to our needs and worked hard to make us feel comfortable. Thank you Ron and Sheri.”

“I first met Melissa when my mom passed away 7 years ago. She was the most kind, caring and genuine person at the time when I needed it most. She was also very organized and professional in her business operations, which I appreciated. My mom's service was perfect in every way. Melissa has now expanded her business from one location in Remus to a second by acquiring Mohnke Funeral Home in Big Rapids. I know the Big Rapids community well and they will appreciate Melissa's approach/style in providing assistance during difficult times. I would highly recommend Mohnke Janowicz Funeral Home when the unfortunate need arises...”
