Cremation Packages at
Mid-Wisconsin Cremation Society
The first steps of pre-planning can be the most difficult. At Mid-Wisconsin Cremation Society, we will assist you through the process of your pre-planning options, service choices, financing and aftercare of your arrangements.
Cremation Packages We Offer
Complete cremation care includes every step from your first call to the return of your loved one’s cremated remains.
For families who would like to hold a memorial service before or after cremation, we offer Cremation Tribute Packs. These packages may include memorial folders, a register book, and a service held at our funeral home or at a church of your choosing. They can also include our assistance with burial following cremation, when selected by the family.
The services below reflect the current offerings available through Mid-Wisconsin Cremation Society. This information is intended as a general guide, and we are happy to discuss meaningful requests or personal touches whenever possible. Please contact us with any questions.
