US Funerals Online lists more than 300 funeral homes and cremation providers in Wisconsin, from Milwaukee and Madison to Green Bay, Kenosha, Racine and Appleton. Choose your town below to see the providers near you.
Cremation in Wisconsin costs more than in most states. A direct cremation is about $2,862 on average, and averages in Madison and Janesville top $3,300. All-inclusive packages start from $1,395 in Milwaukee and southeast Wisconsin. Because prices vary so widely, ask two or three funeral homes for their General Price List before you decide. See Cremation Costs in Wisconsin for prices by city.
Wisconsin does not require families to use a funeral director, and there is a 48-hour wait after a death before cremation. A cremation permit from the county is also needed, and its fee varies by county. The Wisconsin Funeral and Cemetery Aids Program (WFCAP) can pay up to $1,500 toward funeral costs and up to $1,000 toward cemetery or crematory costs for eligible families. Our Wisconsin Funeral Guide walks you through each step.
