Building Description
SERVING THE GREATER MILWAUKEE AREA SINCE 1929
Visitor Experience
Founded in 1929, Wisconsin Memorial Park is easily one of the more beautiful, prestigious cemeteries in Wisconsin—if not the United States. 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 significant 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.
This site is part of the Doco Drive: The Divine Line with Docomomo Wisconsin, inviting visitors to tour of Modern Buildings in the area. Get ready to explore the unique architecture and design of these iconic structures with knowledgeable guides. This event is a great opportunity to learn about the history and significance of these buildings while enjoying a fun day out.
