Our Facility

The Feerick Funeral Home’s spacious facility can accommodate several hundred guests while still maintaining the feeling of a comfortable home. The current location at 2025 East Capitol Drive in Shorewood was built in 1933. Feerick’s dedication to quality and dignity is apparent to anyone who visits their funeral home. Beautiful antiques combine tastefully with modern pieces creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere for gathering. All of the old world charm of the original home has been maintained with its carved woodwork and crystal chandeliers, while tastefully integrating modern technology. The building is continually being renovated to meet the changing needs of the community, including a sophisticated sound system for services, a large television for memory videos, courtesy telephones throughout the building, and a state-of-the-art security and fire prevention system. There is even a special area where individuals can view the service outside of the chapel if they need a quiet area for their children. In addition to the children’s area, there is a lounge for members of the immediate family where they can take a break during visitations as well as a private bathroom for the family secluded from the public area of the building. As one visitor recently commented, “This funeral home is so soothing, I feel as if I am in the home of a trustworthy friend."



Our Services

Throughout history, civilized society has marked special times in life with ceremony. Birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, and marriages are shared with those we love because sharing brings meaning to the celebration. Likewise, when a life comes to an end, it is our instinct to share the loss with those we love. A funeral service is a celebration of a life lived, especially when it reflects the unique life and personality of the departed. It offers a time and place to gather, to grieve, and to share. The funeral buffers the pain of loss with the support and comfort of the presence of family and friends.


All of our funeral directors are professional individuals you can rely on for compassionate guidance in arranging a meaningful and comforting service. We are thoroughly experienced in managing the details of all religious denominations, cultural traditions and fraternal organizations. In addition to handling details of a traditional funeral service, we can also provide information and ideas that may be helpful in planning a meaningful memorial service or direct burial. Our staff is also knowledgeable in handling all arrangements when the deceased is to be transported to and from another state or country.

Our primary purpose at Feerick Funeral Home is to manage all the arrangement details for you so that they are all brought together in a service which is meaningful, dignified and perfect. In knowing that no two funerals are the same we offer a wide selection of services. No matter what your funeral preferences, we can help you with every aspect of the funeral process.
