Krause Funeral Homes & Cremation Service

.

Krause Funeral Homes clearly know this business. They handled arrangements with the church and the appropriate parties for military funeral honors very well. They were very professional the day of the visitation and the day of the burial, being sure everything was in its place and going smoothly, handling all the details so we didn't have to. They did an incredible job of presenting dad's body. They worked very hard to satisfy us, particularly with the extra distance since my parents moved out to western Waukesha County where the visitation was held yet the burial was in the City of Milwaukee. Even little things like gathering the flowers afterwards and carefully saving the cards indicating who sent them was done to perfection. This may sound corny, but they run their business just as described in their commercials, striving for perfection. Krause offers quite an array of memorial cards and expertise in putting together photos on disc. Their website is set up very well enabling friends and relatives to easily see the obituary. While we did not choose to use their facilities for any service, they are top notch.

They were very nice, friendly, supportive, accommodating and they had a high quality of customer service. Their pricing is not the cheapest but I found it to be fair. We plan to go back to deal with our own arrangements as well.

Everyone was very professional, It all went exactly as Elaine had said it would with no problems. Most importantly, it was a wonderful tribute to my husband.

Krause has their own rules that family members must sign agreements for cremation. This woman had no children or siblings. Her first cousins were elderly and most were unknown to us. Krause's lawyer took a full week to send the form required to arrange the cremation. We finally could hold the memorial service three weeks after her death. Krause would do nothing including asking the doctor to sign the death certificate and send the request for cremation into Milwaukee County until their lawyer's form was signed. Familial permission is not required by state law, but Krause chooses to be extra careful in case the elderly cousins, none of whom attended the service, would sue them. Yet, the deceased had clearly made her choices known to Krause in 2006. Now Krause has a form giving permission. Such a form did not exist when she planned her funeral with Krause.

They were very professional and very caring, sensitive to your feelings and treated them with a lot of respect. They did everything as expected. They were reasonable compared to some other funeral homes. They went out of the way to do things right.

Everything was excellent.

I thought they were very professional, and I would highly recommend them. They were very caring. They were expensive, but it was worth it.
