A Place of Peace, Remembrance, and Eternal Rest

Since 1852, Caldwell Cemetery has been a quiet, non-denominational resting place for the families of southeast Wisconsin. Rooted in community, committed to care.

Services

We offer a simple, dignified range of burial options for individuals and families across southeast Wisconsin. Every plot includes perpetual maintenance — no ongoing fees, ever. We are proud to serve local rural families and their extended relatives, many with roots in our community dating back to the 1800s.

TRADITIONAL BURIAL

Full burial plots with concrete vault are available at $1,000. This one-time fee includes perpetual maintenance of the gravesite. We offer multiple adjacent plots to accommodate families who wish to be together.

CREMATION MEMORIALS

Cremation plots that accommodate two burial urns are available for $1,000, with perpetual care included. These sites offer a peaceful, lasting memorial for your loved ones.

HEADSTONES & MARKERS

Monument companies installing headstones will require a concrete pad. The cemetery provides staking services for headstone placement at $100, and staking for burial excavation at $120. All staking fees are subject to change.

About Us

Caldwell Cemetery was established in 1852 on farmland donated by the Horace Greeley Family as an open, non-denominational community cemetery. Spanning six generations of dedicated stewardship, it remains one of southeast Wisconsin’s most cherished small community cemeteries.

We are governed by a four-member board of directors who meet annually to review operations and ensure compliance with all state and local regulations.

Memorial Garden

Our grounds offer a peaceful environment for quiet reflection and remembrance. The cemetery’s serene, rural setting provides a natural sanctuary away from the bustle of daily life. Families are always welcome to visit.

Reviews

Hear From the Families We Have Served

When we lost my father last spring, we didn't know where to begin. Warren walked us through everything at the cemetery in person — no pressure, no rush. The grounds are peaceful and beautifully kept. Knowing the plot is deeded and cared for permanently gave our whole family real peace of mind. We're so grateful a place like this still exists.

Our family has had ties to Caldwell Cemetery for three generations. When it came time to plan ahead for ourselves, there was never any question about where we'd go. The pricing is straightforward, the care is genuine, and the setting is exactly what you'd want for a final resting place. It's a true community treasure.

Paul & Linda R. Racine County, WI

I contacted Caldwell Cemetery after being referred by our funeral director, and I'm so glad I did. The process was simple and honest — no hidden fees, no confusing paperwork. We purchased adjacent plots for my wife and I, and we feel completely at ease knowing everything is taken care of. Highly recommend to any family in the area.

James K. Town of Waterford, WI

After my mother passed, we were looking for a quiet, non-denominational place that felt right for our family. Caldwell Cemetery was exactly that. The grounds are serene, the board members were kind and patient with all of our questions, and the perpetual care included in the price meant we didn't have to worry about anything going forward. A truly dignified place.
