      The author obtains a decomposition theorem for a conformal immersion of a warped product of Riemannian manifolds into a Euclidean space, subject to some conditions on its second fundamental form. This is a generalization of both the corresponding theorem of Nolker for isometric immersions of warped products [cf. \textit{I. Benjamini} and \textit{J. Cao}, Differ. Geom. Appl. 6, 31--50 (1996; Zbl 0861.53033)] and a previous result of the author on conformal immersions of Riemannian products [Houston J. Math. 32, 725--743 (2006; Zbl 1116.53044)]. In particular, all conformal representations of a Euclidean space of dimension greater than 3 as a warped product of Riemannian manifolds are determined. This leads to a classification of conformally flat warped products.
