About Us
Cress Funeral and Cremation Services creates personalized funeral & cremation services in Wisconsin. A funeral service can be one of the most difficult decisions for a family to make. It's important that they find someone who will provide them with solace and support when it matters the most to minimize their pain during this time. Our caring team has been arranging tributes since 1868. They are sensitive to the needs of each family and strive for meaningful tributes that families deserve. We offer dignified funeral home and cremation services in Madison, Sun Prairie, and Middleton, WI. Contact us!
Online Memorial
We can create a customized, online memorial for you to share with family and friends. The memorial includes the obituary and any photographs you wish to provide. It will serve as a place for visitors to post condolences, share memories, upload photos, and light candles in honor of your loved one.
Tribute Video
We can produce a personal tribute video that can be played at the service and online. Simply provide us with the photographs you want to include and we will transform them into a video celebration of your treasured memories. DVDs or digital files of the video are also available.
Ordering Flowers
We make it easy for friends and family to send flowers to your home or service to honor your loved one. We have partnered with local florists to offer the convenience of ordering directly from the obituary page of our website. You can also use this feature to select the flowers you would like at the service. This is a secure way to choose beautiful arrangements from the privacy and comfort of your home.
Sharing Service Details
We reduce the stress of contacting those who need the details of the service for your loved one. We post the dates and times of the service as part of the online memorial on our website. You can then either share the memorial on your Facebook or Twitter page or copy the details from the site into an email or text. Both options give you the peace of mind that you have provided the necessary information to those who need it.
