About Direct Cremation and Burial

Direct Cremation and Burial is an independently owned funeral home serving the Milwaukee area. They offer both cremation and burial services, as their name suggests, covering the core needs most families are looking for. Direct cremation starts at $1,500, which is a reasonable entry point for the Milwaukee market, though pricing for traditional burial services was not available for comparison. Customers on Google have given them a 5.0-star rating across 48 reviews, reflecting consistent satisfaction, though the relatively modest number of reviews means there is a somewhat limited track record to draw from.
