Wroblewski Funeral Home, with its original location at 56 Ashley Street in Ashley, Pennsylvania, and a second location at 1442 Wyoming Avenue in Forty Fort, has been a cornerstone of compassionate funeral service in Luzerne County for over six decades.

Joseph L. Wroblewski was not only a devoted funeral director but also a world-renowned humanitarian. He served as International President of Lions Clubs International in 1985-1986 and was a United Nations liaison for 28 years, embodying the motto “We Serve.” His legacy of service extends beyond the funeral home; he was a 55-year member of the American Legion, a board member of the Catholic Youth Center, and president of the Northeastern Heart Association. Under his leadership, the funeral home became synonymous with trust, empathy, and community support.
