Milwaukee

Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin, with a population of just under 600,000 people. There are around 25 Milwaukee funeral homes catering to bereaved families and individuals across the city and its suburbs.

Milwaukee, which is known for the Pabst Mansion and the Cathedral Square Park, has funeral homes in the middle of the city and in neighboring towns and suburbs as well. Milwaukee is home to scores of different Christian denominations and many other faiths as well.

As well as arranging funerals in accordance with beliefs and customs, funeral homes in Milwaukee also offer a number of services with a unique touch. Because some people may not want a service that is wholly religious in nature, there are a number of homes that offer non-religious celebrant services. There are also funeral homes that can provide unique hearses, including motorcycle hearses.

Milwaukee has many notable cemeteries including Forest Home Cemetery, which houses the final resting place of 28 Milwaukee mayors and seven Wisconsin governors. Located on Forest Home Avenue, it has become a popular tourist destination as well. Calvary Cemetery is also notable for being owned by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and has many early interments as well.

It is important to note that funerals in Milwaukee are subject to Wisconsin state law. However, unlike many states in the U.S., Wisconsin has no state laws requiring embalming or refrigeration. You may still choose embalming for your loved one and you can discuss this with your chosen funeral home.
