In 1980 we built a funeral home and crematory specifically to provide quality and unique cremation services to our families. If not the first funeral home in Wisconsin to own and operate our own crematory, we were the first to have it as part of the funeral home itself. For our families convenience, we now have two cremation centers; the only funeral service in Wisconsin to own and operate two centers.

It also offers the family and friends the time to share experiences and emotional support and to help one another find closure and adjust emotionally to the loss of an important person in their lives. The funeral can take many forms, lasting from minutes to days, and is very often influenced by the lifestyle and values of the bereaved family and friends. One suggestion that can help minimize the burden is to consider taking a proactive role (preplanning) and discussing and defining funeral service needs prior to the actual time of need.

Now, believe it or not this is actually a good thing. The state says that anyone wishing to pre-pay funeral needs - must do so through a Third-Party and not the funeral home itself. Since Cress Funeral Service can't hold the funding for you, we must use a dependable, trustworthy, proven third party. Cress Funeral Service is proud to be Dane County's exclusive provider of the most secure and safe Pre-Need Pre-funding option.
