What families have said

Recent reviews from families who used Krause Funeral Home & Cremation Services - New Berlin. Reviews are sourced from Google Places and shown verbatim — we do not edit or filter for sentiment.

I went with the New Berlin location for my mom because several years prior they did the funeral for my father in law and did a very nice job. They did an exceptional job with my mom. They were very helpful with making the arrangements and up front with the pricing. No pushy sales or unnecessary upgrades, they did offer professional, helpful suggestions. They did a beautiful job preparing my mom for the viewing. I was very impressed by the amount of attention to detail they gave to the whole event. Everything went smoothly from the funeral home, to the church, to the cemetery and burial. The package they gave afterwards with the memorial book and thank you cards also included photos of the floral arrangements that were sent and displayed, which I thought was a very nice touch, giving a nice, lasting memory of the flowers. I highly recommend the Krause New Berlin location. They have an outstanding staff there.

Krause made what could have been a very tough and trying experience effortless and smooth. From notifying them of the death via their 24 hour phone service to meeting with the funeral director and setting up the remembrance ceremony and internment, everyone worked to make the entire experience as painless as possible. All their employees were the very definition of professional, and went above and beyond on multiple occasions. For example, I asked them for a particular type of music for the viewing, and they picked just the right songs out of the artists' catalog; nothing too somber nor anything too jarring. The onsite chapel was perfect for the actual funeral service, with good lighting and an excellent sound system such that every word was completely intelligible to everyone in the room and a choir singing in the back sounded great with no strange echoes or other audio artifacts. They also seamlessly arranged for military honors with a gun salute as the deceased was a honorably discharged US Army veteran. Of note is that all services had been prepaid by the decedent, further making the entire process effortless from start to finish. We only had to select designs for a memory candle and prayer cards. Given the innumerable details that must be attended to following a death, it was a comfort to know the professionals at Krause had everything in hand and would not be a source of concern. I hope you don't need their services anytime soon, but if you do, I couldn't possibly recommend Krause more highly.

Krause made the funeral planning stress free for what is usually a stressful and pretty chaotic time for the family. We planned a beautiful celebration of my mother’s life and everything went great. I couldn’t recommend Krause Funeral Home enough. The entire staff was an absolute pleasure to work with and they made the whole process completely stress free. Highly recommended!

We worked with Krause for my Mothers funeral. Noah and Crystal were so helpful and very compassionate when planning the funeral. The day of the funeral was really beautiful.... it was the perfect goodbye. Never thought I'd be doing a funeral home review but our family was very pleased with the day and beautiful celebration for my Mother.

The Krause family unit could not have been more compassionate, friendly, helpful, and detailed in such an awful period in mine and my daughter’s lives. I can’t say enough wonderful things about them. They have also reached out numerous times to see how I was doing and offered online suggestions for help if I need it. Thanks Krause.

EverSettled · After the Veteran Funeral

The veteran's spouse may qualify for VA Dependency & Indemnity Compensation.

DIC is a tax-free monthly benefit for surviving spouses, dependent children, and (in some cases) parents of veterans whose death is service-connected. EverSettled walks veteran families through DIC eligibility, survivor pension, life-insurance claims, probate, and the federal-account paperwork that follows.

How honors are coordinated

Military funeral honors are guaranteed at no cost for any veteran discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. The funeral home arranges the honors detail by contacting the deceased's last unit or the nearest active-duty installation of the appropriate branch and submitting the DD-214 to verify eligibility.

For requests less than 72 hours from service time, families can call the Department of Defense's expedited honors line at 1-877-MIL-HONR (1-877-645-4667). See the full honors protocol.

After the Service · Veteran Family

Estate settlement is the next chapter for veteran families.

DIC, survivor pension, and VA educational benefits run alongside probate, life-insurance claims, and account retitling. EverSettled guides veteran families through every step at no cost.
