A death of a family member is definitely the toughest, or one of the toughest, things one has to go…read morethrough. I recently experienced this with the passing of my father. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Becker Ritter. Joe and Kathy Becker were some of the nicest people around. Sure, they're in the business to make bank - rightfully so - but Joe was so good in providing us comfort and going beyond our expectations in making the memorial service exactly the way we wanted. We also opted to have Joe take care of catering (snacks from Grasch's and Alterra), the slide show, obituary, and death certificate. They can take care of everything during the process from initially picking the deceased up at the hospital to delivering the cremains to your house. Facilities are also nice. There is one larger, kinda creepy, chapel where services are held, and there's a smaller room, where we decided to hold my dad's memorial service. Whatever your religious affiliation, they have all sorts of artifacts and statues that can be used. They also have a dining room where you can have a catered reception. All in all, Joe made a really difficult situation into a really nice experience to celebrate my dad's life, and I cannot recommend Becker Ritter enough.

Our family worked with Leslie beginning with the intake call. She was wonderful during this difficult time. The items and charges were explained clearly, she took care of calling social security, filing for the death certificate, and got the obit filed in time for the Sunday paper. More importantly, she provided picture boards and easels for our family pictures, assembled a lovely tableau of my aunt's favorite things, and made EVERYTHING go so smoothly on the day of the funeral. Every penny we paid Becker Ritter was worth it. Thank you for helping out of town relatives arrange a beautiful memorial for our Aunt Betty.

Yes, the roads could probably do with a fresh coat of asphalt as they look a little worn down yet I have never encountered a single hole so I see no urgency. As for the condition of each roof, I have never noticed any problem and just because a roof looks faded or whatever, they can last for 50 years and I have never since evidence of any sort of leak. They are owned by a large out-of-state company... My family is in the back by The Last Supper and I have never had any issue with flowers being placed on the crypt. In fact, when the bracket on the crypt broke off, they put up a new one and had me pick out a new bouquet without charge and placed it. When that one was blown out and disappeared a couple of weeks later, they offered their apologies and provided me yet another one at no charge. I do not believe for one second they are stealing money and not placing flowers. The grounds crew is very busy and I was told upfront that the repair could take a couple of weeks, which it did. They have always asked me if I wished to place the flowers myself - I think out of respect and thinking the family may wish to do that and usually that is my preference but if I ask them to do, they always tell me it will not be done right away. And what they do with the flags of veterans who are buried there is nothing short of amazing and so so so respectful. I would never consider being buried anywhere but here.

Since my brother was a veteran we received a flag for the funeral and they set up the military honors for the funeral. Everything about Cremation Society of Waukesha/Milwaukee was top notch.

Funeral pre-planning: Their funeral pre-planning service is outstanding and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anybody. Since both my relatives had pre-planned their funerals, it made the funeral planning process much easier for me. Planning the actual funeral: This was pretty straightforward. I came in to select what options I wanted and they took care of the rest. They were very helpful with writing the obituary. I felt like they were taking care of all the details and I didn't need to worry about anything, really. They made a great DVD slideshow of photos I had provided to them; people really enjoyed that. After the funeral they even provided an etiquette brochure that made writing thank you notes easier. Little stuff like that really helped. Staff: Throughout the process, Randle Dable Brisk employees were incredibly caring and detail-oriented. I've worked with both Lee and Tom as funeral directors--they were both very helpful. Cosmetology: This really stood out to me. I don't know how they did it, but they made my relative look so good and very natural. Because of COVID, my relative had not had a haircut in a long time. I provided a couple of photos that showed his previous hair and facial hair style, and the final result exceeded my expectations...by a ton. It was incredibly meaningful to see my relative look so nice and I am grateful for that last memory. Whoever did his hair/makeup is a truly gifted cosmetologist.
