Cremation Services
Choosing a funeral home with cremation services is a deeply personal decision. At Wichmann-Fargo Funeral Homes & Crematories, we believe that choosing cremation should never mean choosing less. While some providers treat this as a simple transaction, we view it as a sacred trust.
With roots in Winnebago and Outagamie Counties that stretch back to 1898, it’s no wonder Wichmann-Fargo Funeral Homes & Crematories is the preferred funeral home with cremation services for families who prioritize quality. Since we own two on-site, private crematories operated by licensed funeral directors who are also certified crematory operators, you can know your loved one will be treated with dignity and respect. They will never leave the care of our professional, reliable team.
Our Cremation Options
When comparing funeral home prices, it is vital to know what is included. While the typical cremation cost varies by provider, we focus on providing a seamless service and cremation experience:
- Direct Cremation: Handled with precision by a local direct cremation provider you can trust.
- Cremation with Memorial Service: A bridge between loss and recovery, allowing the Fox Valley community to gather and find closure.
- Ceremonial Casket Service: A combination of a casketed funeral service, with cremation simply taking place afterwards. This allows family and friends to say their goodbyes in the traditional sense, but also offers the ability for cremation.
The Value of cremation with memorial Service
Many families find that cremation is more cost-effective than a traditional funeral, but what we care about most is the dignified memorial and remembrance of those you loved.
Some believe that with direct cremation, your options are limited. With us, that is never the case. Nearly all our options—including a highly personalized funeral or reception—are available with cremation.
The Wichmann-Fargo Difference
Our commitment to continuity of care means your loved one never leaves our facility for a third-party warehouse, as our private crematoy operates exclusively by our licensed, local staff. We have spent over a century building a reputation for excellence, proudly serving our neighbors with unmatched professional oversight across Appleton, Menasha, Neenah, Kimberly, Little Chute, and Kaukauna.
READY TO PLAN A CREMATION SERVICE
Talk to a funeral director
While many families choose to keep their loved one with them always in an urn or keepsake, we can help you arrange for burial or placement in one of the many lovely cemeteries in Appleton, Kimberly, or beyond. If you would like to scatter your loved one’s cremated remains in a meaningful place, seek us out for help navigating local laws and regulations.
TRADITIONAL SERVICE with Cremation
Many families find meaning and beauty in a traditional funeral service. With a traditional service combined with cremation, you can still choose to have a visitation and/or funeral service with your loved one in a casket. However, instead of in-ground burial, the funeral will be followed by cremation.
Cremation with Memorial Tribute
The memorial service or celebration of life can be held in our chapel, a church, or any other venue your family chooses. We will work with your family and clergy to design a service that honors your loved one, truly celebrating his/her life. Our funeral home chapels have a piano available, as well as cameras for webcasting the service.
GRAVSIDE SERVICE
A graveside service is held at the cemetery. When the memorial service is at the funeral home chapel or a church, we later go to the cemetery, where a committal service is held. Typically this includes a brief ceremony and witnessing the placement at the cemetery's discretion.
