When Cress Funeral & Cremation Service was founded in 1869, the focus was on serving the community with the highest levels of integrity and compassion. We have maintained these high standards through the decades and continue to be known as one of the leaders in the local funeral planning industry. Our team focuses on honoring the deceased while also providing unwavering care for families. When you choose our funeral services, you have the opportunity to integrate cultural influences and family traditions into these events.

Do you want to hold a themed funeral or life celebration? Then choose the beautiful reception areas here at Cress Funeral & Cremation Service. In addition to excellent hosting space, we also have options for full-service catering. On the other hand, some families prefer to keep it simple with a direct cremation or small memorial ceremony. We always respect your preferences and create an event that caters to your needs and desires. In addition to funeral planning, our staff also assists families in choosing the ideal products, such as memorials, urns, caskets, and vaults. You can buy a casket or choose casket rental if cremation is part of your plan.

We believe that honoring life should be as unique as the person you are remembering. So, our team works hard to make it a memorable event and procession. Instead of a cookie-cutter event, you can choose from unique offerings such as a horse-driven carriage, livestream services, veteran services, a bagpiper, green burial options, and more. 

At Cress Funeral & Cremation Service, we brought in the first local cremation center connected to a funeral home. Over the years, we have continued to expand to offer a second cremation center as well as multiple funeral homes in the area. We serve families in all surrounding cities, including Mount Horb, Madison, Lodi, Dane County, Verona, Waunakee, DeForest, Deerfield, Stoughton, Middleton, Fitchburg, McFarland, and Sun Prairie.
