Krause Funeral Home was proud to be a Partner Sponsor of the Friends of Wehr Nature Center's Ladies' Night Out on July 8th. Wehr Nature Center is an amazing woodland, wetland, prairie, and oak savanna covering 220 acres of protected land in Milwaukee County. Jovi Mercado, Care Center Manager, and Jacob Waterworth, Director of Operations, were at this event and had many great conversations with attendees about funeral options, especially natural burial options in Wisconsin.

At the request of Cudworth-Stenz-Griesell-Smith American Legion Post #449, Krause Funeral Home's Cadillac hearse joined their Post in the Brookfield Independence Day Parade. We had an empty flag draped casket in the hearse as a reminder of all the men and women who have fought for our country's freedom. Our Funeral Director, Noah Watry, drove the hearse, accompanied by his son, Mason.
