Let Our Family Serve Your Family
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 company with a long legacy of helping Madison, Wisconsin 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.
Giving Back in Our Community
Alzheimers' disease affects many in the Dane County area. To help support those suffering from alzheimers', as well as their families, Tawny Martinez and Jennifer Heimdahl of Cress Funeral Service presented a donation to Hanna Van of the Alzheimers' Association.
Scott Kundinger and Desiree Paananen surprised the staff at Gilda's Club today with a generous donation to support them with programs and services.

Cress made a donation to the Badger Honor Flight Program to provide the opportunity for veterans to have the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C. Cress strongly continues to support veterans for all they have given for our freedom.

“As we continue to support our community, recently Cress made a donation to the Ronald McDonald Charity House to assist them with programs assisting families.
