Why do people choose cremation?

Cremation offers a cost-effective and flexible alternative to traditional burial, making it a preferred choice for Milwaukee families looking to simplify the funeral process or seeking a more affordable option. As more Wisconsin residents consider their end-of-life plans, cremation has become increasingly popular in our community.

01

Cost Efficiency

Cremation can be less expensive than traditional burials as it typically does not require expenses like embalming, burial plots, or elaborate caskets. Note: Additional services such as memorial ceremonies or special urns are available for an extra fee.

Environmental Considerations

Many Milwaukee residents consider cremation to be more eco-friendly than traditional burials, which involve land use and chemicals. With Wisconsin's strong environmental values, we also offer alternative green cremation options like alkaline hydrolysis for an additional fee.
