Choosing a Cemetery You Can Trust

When a loved one passes away, it's a time of remembrance and consolation. It necessarily must also be a time of planning for the final memorial service and resting place. There are many decisions that must be made and the quality of the chosen cemetery will have a direct impact on the level of assistance you get during an emotional time of life.



When choosing among the cemeteries Waukesha, WI residents need to consider the services and features desired. Cemeteries vary considerably in terms of quality and quantity of services provided. Some of them simply provide a place for burial but little else. Other cemeteries offer pre- and post burial services that insure your family member is given the type of farewell he or she deserves as a loved one and then cares for the plot or crypt from that point forward.



Asking the Right Questions



Following are just some of the questions you need to ask before choosing among the cemeteries in Waukesha, WI.



>>> Is there a chapel where you can hold a memorial service close to the burial site?

>>> Are the grounds open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week so you know that you can visit the burial site when it's convenient?

>>> Are the grave sites affordable?

>>> Does the cemetery offer financing options?

>>> Can you choose between upright or ground level memorial markers?

>>> Would you prefer a special section (i.e. veterans or infants) and does the cemetery offer such?

>>> Can the cemetery accommodate double burial sites?

>>> Are you interested in a natural burial, and if so, will the cemetery accommodate your request?

>>> Can the cemetery manage a cremation if desired?
