Funeral Homes in the Milwaukee, WI Metro Area

In the Milwaukee, Wisconsin metro area, funeral home services are available in Waukesha and surrounding communities through locations operated by multiple providers. Families in Waukesha County and the broader metro region have access to burial services, cremation services, funeral and memorial services, pre-need planning, and reception and catered events.

  • Cesarz, Charapata & Zinnecker Funeral Home is a standalone funeral home located in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Founded in 1897 by Joseph Cesarz and Erling Larsen, the firm has operated continuously in the Waukesha community for more than 125 years, making it one of the longest-established funeral homes in the area. The facility includes a chapel, reception and event space, and accommodates both identification and private viewings. Families consistently note the team's responsiveness to specific requests and their ability to guide families through arrangements with ease.

When choosing a funeral home in the Milwaukee metro area, families typically consider factors such as proximity to home or place of worship, the availability of on-site chapel and reception space, and whether the location offers the specific services needed — including burial, cremation, or pre-need planning. Families who require an on-site crematory should confirm availability directly with any location, as not all facilities operate cremation equipment on premises.

Every single person was professional, responsive, and worked to accommodate my family’s needs. They were sensitive without being patronizing. Really perfect during a tough period. I cannot compliment them enough.

We recently attended a service. Our GPS got us lost going to the service. We are not familiar with Waukesha. After the service, Marquita, gladly printed us directions for three different routes. She was very accommodating, friendly, and concerned about us not getting lost leaving the funeral home. We appreciated her help! When I called the next day, to compliment her, she said she was wondering if we got home without difficulty! She showed superior Customer Service!
