Since 1869, Cress Funeral & Cremation Service has been helping families in the community with quality funeral and cremation care. When families deal with the grief of losing a loved one, the professional funeral planning team steps in to offer guidance and support. The goal is to care for the needs of each family member while holding the highest levels of respect and dignity for the deceased.

Gatherings both large and small can be held at the beautiful funeral home. Talk to the funeral planning team to discuss everything from direct cremation to themed events. Families can use the reception hall for hosting friends and loved ones, with options for delicious catering services. These details make it a funeral, memorial, or life celebration you will never forget. Other available options include graveside services, memorial ceremonies, and traditional funerals. It is up to you to create a truly personalized event. Then our funeral planning team will take care of the details.

You can choose from beautiful funeral products, such as vaults, memorials, caskets, and urns. Additionally, the concierge team can coordinate unique details for your event, such as veteran services, green burial options, livestreaming services, a horse-driven carriage, a bagpiper, casket rentals, and more. If you prefer cremation, then Cress Funeral & Cremation Service is the ideal team to call because we offer two on-site crematories for your convenience. 

Cress Funeral & Cremation Service has expanded to include multiple funeral homes to serve families in the surrounding areas better. If you live in one of these cities, we invite you to reach out for a conversation with one of our funeral directors: Madison, Lodi, Dane County, Mount Horb, DeForest, Deerfield, Sun Prairie, Stoughton, Verona, Waunakee, Middleton, Fitchburg, and McFarland.
