Wisconsin Memorial Park

Wisconsin Memorial Park Founded in 1929, Wisconsin Memorial Park is easily one of the more beautiful, prestigious cemeteries in Wisconsin—if not the United States.
(212)

Comprising 160 pastoral acres populated with maple, oak, ash, birch and pine trees, as well as many species of animals, the cemetery property has captured the affections and imaginations of generations who have recognized its beauty and elected to have their loved ones buried here. Located in Brookfield, west of Milwaukee, Wisconsin Memorial Park is positively resplendent. With architecturally sig

nificant buildings, 4 chapels, 2 outdoor spaces for services, and an art collection worth millions, this is much more than a cemetery: It’s a landmark and a place of both reverence and wonder.

Did You Know? Some of the most meaningful stories at Wisconsin Memorial Park are found not only in the memorials, but also in the art that surrounds them.

The Great Memorial Building at Wisconsin Memorial Park is more than a mausoleum — it is also a place of history, art, and remembrance.

Hanging in our Lounge is a remarkable oil painting titled “The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 at Philadelphia.” This beautiful work is a large-scale reproduction of John Trumbull’s famous painting, which depicts the presentation of the Declaration of Independence.

Our painting measures an impressive 18 feet wide by 13 feet high and was created in Florence, Italy by the artist Eolo. According to the original display information, more than 1,000 tubes of oil paint were used on hand-woven Belgian linen to complete the piece.

Commissioned in October 1974 and completed in February 1976, the painting was given in memory of Mrs. Hazel Olson, her husband Mr. William Olson, and her mother Mrs. Margaret Storey.

Today, it continues to hang in the Lounge of the Great Memorial Building — a reminder that Wisconsin Memorial Park is not only a place of memorialization, but also a place where art, history, and legacy are preserved for generations.

Progress is underway at Wisconsin Memorial Park!

Today, crews began installing new water lines that will connect the Great Memorial Building and Wisconsin Memorial Park to the City of Brookfield water supply.

Since opening in 1929, Wisconsin Memorial Park has operated on well water, and we are very happy to see this important improvement moving forward. This project helps support our grounds, facilities, and the families we serve for years to come.

Thank you for your patience as this work continues, and thank you to the crews helping make this meaningful upgrade possible.
