Forever Friends Pet Funeral Home and Crematory

In 2002, Bob Walczyk Jr opened Forever Friends Pet Cremation Services in Green Bay, opposite the family-owned Proko-Wall Funeral Home and Crematory, established in 1970 by Bob's father and Gerald Proko, who passed away in 1982. Bob, involved in the funeral home since age eight, continues to own and operate both establishments to this day. In spring 2022, Forever Friends became its own entity, no longer under Proko-Wall's wing. Now, as a franchise system, they offer business ownership opportunities.

Bob sensed a local need for pet funeral services and pursued Forever Friends after extensive market research. He believes the experience should be positive for children encountering death for the first time when their pets pass, finding comfort in the setting and facilitating the grieving process. Exclusive in northeast Wisconsin, Forever Friends serves pet families within a 90-mile radius, boasting a 2000-square-foot expansion with private arrangement offices, family viewing rooms, ADA approved restrooms, a display room, and a public pet wash. They also run an "on-site" crematory and a spacious walk-in cooler, ensuring pets in their care are treated with respect.

The services extend to families, clinics, pet rescues, humane societies, and shelters. Discreetly labeled removal vans ensure sensitivity during pickups. Bob and his team developed print materials, TV spots, and community events to promote their services. The standard operating procedures, including business forms and specific documentation, have evolved over the 20+ years of operation. On-site training at the home office and franchisee locations is provided for eligible prospective franchisees.

Forever Friends fills a crucial gap in the Green Bay community, offering a place where beloved pets are treated like family members. It provides a serene environment for remembering the significance of these pets in people's lives. With a vision of nationwide impact, Forever Friends aims to bring its caring atmosphere to other communities through franchising.
