Pietszak Funeral Home

Pietszak Funeral Home, a family-owned and operated establishment, has been a cornerstone of compassionate funeral service in the Buffalo and Cheektowaga, New York area for over a century. Founded in 1912 by Peter Pietszak, the funeral home began with a commitment to honoring lives with dignity and respect. Peter’s son, Paul Pietszak, took over the business in the 1940s and, together with his daughter Wilhelmina Pietszak, transformed a former local candy store at 806 Clinton Street in Buffalo into the present-day funeral home facility. In 1983, Wilhelmina’s neighbor, Michael A. Klimeczko, joined the firm, bringing a continued dedication to personalized care. The Klimeczko family further expanded their service reach in 1997 when Michael entered a partnership to establish the Orlowski-Pietszak Funeral Home at 2400 William Street in Cheektowaga. By 2005, Michael and his daughters Wilhelmina and Janine Klimeczko—both licensed funeral directors—became the sole owners of the Cheektowaga location, which now also serves as a branch of Pietszak Funeral Home. Today, the funeral home remains under the dedicated leadership of the Klimeczko family, who continue to uphold the values of treating every family as their own.

Pietszak Funeral Home offers a full range of services designed to assist families during their time of loss. These include traditional funeral services, memorial services, graveside ceremonies, military honors, basic and full-service cremation with urn options, collaboration with other funeral homes, grief support, and pre-paid funeral planning. The professional staff is committed to providing dignified, respectful, and compassionate assistance to every family, taking the time to listen and create meaningful services that honor the unique life of each loved one. The facility is fully accessible, featuring a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot, with on-site parking available.
