Brookfield, Wis. (May 15, 2013) – Krause Funeral Homes announces the opening of its fourth locally-owned facility at 21600 West Capitol Drive in Brookfield. The new building was designed and constructed by VJS Construction Services based in Pewaukee.
The new location is a modern facility with a 25,108 square foot open floor plan that meets the needs of today’s families. Features include:
A new state-of-the-art audio and sound system for the comfort of
families and guests
Banquet rooms for food service before and after visitations and
funeral services
Open concept design with a water feature and fireplace
Outside patio for receptions and memorial services
On-site crematory
Elevator service for handicap access throughout the facility
Celebrant services
Formal and informal chapels
Choice of traditional or contemporary hearses, including the very
popular Krause Funeral Homes’ motorcycle hearse
This new location is now open to serve families in Brookfield, Menomonee Falls, Pewaukee, Sussex, Waukesha, and the lake country. The public is invited to visit the new facility for a personal tour. An open house event is scheduled for Sunday, June 23rd. Visit www.krausefuneralhome.com for details.
“We are very pleased to bring our 80 year reputation of dignified services and professionalism to the many families who are living in western suburbs,” said Mark Krause, President of Krause Funeral Homes & Cremation Services. Krause added that the new facility will not require an adjustment in pricing. “Krause Funeral Homes is well recognized for offering outstanding value in traditional funeral and cremation services.”
As a locally-owned family business, Krause also noted the importance of selecting Brookfield and Milwaukee contractors for the project to ensure that funds from this renovation were reinvested in the town and surrounding communities.
Peace of mind is an important part of quality funeral service. Fifty percent of consumers plan on cremation as opposed to traditional ground burial. Funeral homes that do not have their own crematory must take the deceased to a crematory operated by another company. When a funeral home delivers the deceased to a commercial crematory, or a crematory operated by another company, the funeral home loses control.
“We want families to know that their loved one never leaves our care,” Krause said. “In fact, we invite family members to witness the cremation with a member of the Krause Funeral Home staff in our comfortable crematory chapel.”
The year marks Krause’s 80th anniversary of providing Milwaukee and surrounding area families with the highest standard in funeral services. Krause Funeral Homes & Cremation Services are offered at the following locations: 21600 West Capitol Drive, Brookfield; 7001 West Brown Deer Road, Milwaukee; 9000 West Capitol Drive, Milwaukee; 12401 West National Avenue, New Berlin.
