|  Denise Kwiatkowski
Funeral Director
Denise grew up in Illinois. It was a life long ambition of hers to become a funeral director. This came about by the experiences she had as a young person, when her mother died. When her oldest children were starting their high school education, Denise decided the time had come for her to follow her dream. Denise attended Milwaukee Area Technical College for mortuary school. After serving her apprenticeship at one of the largest funeral homes in the state of Wisconsin, she received her funeral director’s license in July of 2000. Since that time, she has personally served hundreds of families. In 2005, Denise went to school to be a Certified Funeral Celebrant, so she can help families with Eulogies, and performing services. Any family that has personally dealt with Denise can attest to the fact that her passion for helping people, her attention to detail, and her overall concern for the families she serves is unparalleled.
Denise is an active member of Waukau United Methodist Church.
Steve and Denise married in the summer of 2002 at the funeral home. Together they have 5 children; Michelle, Ann (Jason), Stefanie (Tim), Andrew, Caleb (Allison), and three grandsons, Ryan "Buster", Cole "Skeeter", and Ezekiel "Pooh". Caleb graduated from Omro High School, and now is a graduate from UW Madison, and is continuing on to grad school at Madison. The Kwiatkowskis enjoy the outdoors, especially gardening, camping, fishing and taking walks.

Andy & Dorothy are the parents of Steve. Since Steve and Denise purchased the funeral home, you can find Dorothy helping wherever she is needed. Sometimes she answers phones, helps out on funerals, we can even count on her to dust and vacuum when the need arises.
Andy and Dorothy moved to Redgranite from Milwaukee in 1962. This move came about because of the desire to raise their 5 children someplace other than the city. In 1977, they moved to Wautoma to be closer to their jobs. Andy retired from the Waushara County Sheriff’s Dept. in 1994, and kept active helping out various funeral homes in the area. Dorothy retired from the Union State Bank in Wautoma in 1995. After a short illness, Andy passed away May 13, 2000 and is buried at St. Mark’s Cemetery in Redgranite.
In addition to being a loving mother and grandmother of 10 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren, Dorothy is active in St. Joseph Catholic Church in Wautoma and spends her free time volunteering with the Relay for Life, and McComb-Bruchs Performing Arts Center in Wautoma.

Funeral Director
Brian was raised in Rosendale and graduated from Laconia High School in 1990. Four years later, after graduating from the University of Wisconsin, he did different jobs until finding his way into funeral service, completing his apprenticeship and graduating as funeral service valedictorian from Milwaukee Area Technical College in 2001. Loving the Fox Valley Area, he was privileged to spend 11 years in the Appleton Area as a funeral director. Being that, “It’s all about people,” the move to Oshkosh was an easy decision when he had the opportunity to work with Steve, Denise, Paul, Geoff, Larry and Andy.
