What Can I Expect for Cremation Services in Wisconsin?

The unimaginable has happened and you've lost a loved one and are now facing having to go through cremation services. In Wisconsin, there are specific laws and regulations regarding cremation and burial. As an individual who has never dealt with death, funeral homes and cremations, you're not expected to know what steps to take, who to call and what to do. It can seem overwhelming to deal with funeral planning amid grief. But you don't have to endure this confusing and grief-filled time alone.

Wisconsin cremation services can help get you through this difficult period and help you make the right decisions based on your personal preferences, finances, religion or cultural choices. In short, the professionals at Cremation services in Wisconsin are able to take care of the little details so you can deal with your grief and spend time with your family.

Wisconsin Cremation Laws

In Wisconsin, cremation services are attached to specific laws and regulations that must be met. For instance, except for in situations where the deceased had a contagious or infectious disease, there is a 48-hour waiting period before a body can be cremated in Wisconsin. Cremation costs are not higher because of this waiting period. Additionally, a cremation permit must be obtained from the medical examiner or the coroner.

Wisconsin also has specific regulations regarding disposition of the cremated remains following the cremation services. In Wisconsin, the cremated remains are not required to be kept in a cemetery, but they cannot be disposed of just anywhere. We understand the type of grief you're dealing with and do everything possible to "dot the I's and cross the T's" so you can focus on family right now.

Can a Cremation Be Personalized?

Having a funeral, memorial or cremation service is often our way of saying goodbye and paying tribute to our loved one. Many people mistakenly believe that because cremation costs in Wisconsin are so much less than what it would cost to have a traditional funeral and burial that they can't have a personalized service. Despite the affordable cremation costs in Wisconsin, we can still help you to have a personalized memorial with music, religious scriptures, eulogies, and even a public viewing if you so choose.

Another common misconception is that family members can not have a public viewing if there is a cremation service in Wisconsin. We can understand and appreciate what a difficult time this is for you and want to help you plan the type of goodbye your loved one deserves. We will discuss cremation costs in Wisconsin, as well as the various options you can choose for your dearly beloved's memorial.

What Kind of Cremation Services Do You Offer?

We have years of experience providing Wisconsin cremation services. We understand the hardship that losing a loved one can cause and offer a variety of cremation services. You'll find that we offer some of the most affordable Wisconsin cremation costs, while also providing you with the type of service you need and one that your loved one would want.

We can go over all your thoughts and ideas so we can put together the type of memorial you want. We will encourage you to tell us as much about your loved one as you can so we can provide the type of memorial he or she would have if they had planned it themselves. While some aspects of the cremation process may cost slightly extra, many of the Wisconsin cremation costs are part of a package price.

Helping Family Deal with the Loss

We are committed to helping you through your loss in every way we can. At Wisconsin cremation services, we're more than just a funeral services provider assisting with your cremation service. We're here to talk and to listen.

Death is hard enough to understand and accept for adults, but can be confusing and devastating to children. Even when a loved one is sick and terminally ill, their actual passing can be catastrophic to young children. If your children have questions about cremation, which they often do, we can help you determine a suitable way to answer any of their questions. We can also direct you to professionals who can help you as a family or individually. Whether it's a child, a parent, a sibling, or other closed loved one you've lost, we appreciate what you're going through and want to help you in any way we can. We will spend as much or as little time as you need with you and your family. Let our cremation services in Wisconsin help your through this hard time and provide you with a memorable service as your final goodbye.
