Cress Funeral & Cremation

Humbly, we believe Cress has a unique responsibility to honor the dignity of the deceased, to aid and counsel the family in time of grief, to encourage remembrance with each family within its own traditions, culture and financial means.

As a family owned company with a long legacy of helping and supporting family and friends experiencing bereavement, we understand that a family needs someone to turn to in a moment’s notice. Someone who truly cares and has the ability and resources to offer exemplary services. Many things have changed since our beginning in 1869, but what hasn’t changed is our commitment to being here every step of the way for the bereaved in our communities when they need us most.

Maureen Mengelt was a beloved wife and mother of three children. Her quick smile and positive attitude lifted everyone she met.  Her passions were simple but her reach was wide: Family, friends, running, coffee, attending her kid’s music programs and sporting events – if she was doing one of these she was happy. She cared for all of the kid’s she came into contact as she did her own. She would walk children home from the bus stop to make sure they were safe.  She loved rocking babies and would offer to help any new mother to give them a break.

This run has been created to celebrate Maureen’s passion for running and to bring the community together to celebrate her life.  All proceeds will go to the Maureen Mengelt Memorial Fund to benefit Sun Prairie hockey, soccer and music. This is a non-profit 501.c3.  Donations can be sent directly in care of the Maureen Mengelt Memorial Fund to US Bank , 2311 Windsor St, Sun Prairie, WI 53590.
