Gendernalik Funeral Home, Inc.

Gendernalik Funeral Home, Inc., located at 35259 23 Mile Road in New Baltimore, Michigan, is a trusted funeral service provider that has been part of the community for over a century. Although the business operates under the Gendernalik name at this location, it is deeply rooted in the Wasik family legacy, which began in 1904 when Frank J. Wasik founded Wasik Funeral Home in Detroit. For more than 115 years, the Wasik family has provided compassionate funeral care, and the Gendernalik Chapel in New Baltimore continues this tradition with a focus on integrity, personalized service, and community support.

The history of the funeral home spans four generations. Frank J. Wasik started the business, and after his passing in 1924, his son Frank A. Wasik took over until his death in 1932. Hedwig Wasik, Frank J.'s wife, then managed the home until 1942. Jerome F. Wasik became proprietor and funeral director, moving the home to a larger location as the business grew. By 1964, Jerome's sons, Jerome F. Wasik Jr. and Joseph J. Wasik, joined the family business. In the late 1980s, the Wasik family closed their Detroit locations and opened a new funeral home in Warren in 1989, followed by a second location in Shelby Township in 2000. The Gendernalik Chapel in New Baltimore is part of this legacy, providing a warm and welcoming environment for families in Macomb County and beyond.

Gendernalik Funeral Home offers a comprehensive range of services to honor each loved one uniquely. These include traditional funeral services with visitation and burial, cremation with options for private or memorial gatherings, veterans services, and pre-planning arrangements.

Every service is tailored to reflect the life being celebrated, whether a religious ceremony, a simple cremation, or a personalized celebration of life.
