A death of a family member is definitely the toughest, or one of the toughest, things one has to go…read morethrough. I recently experienced this with the passing of my father. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Becker Ritter. Joe and Kathy Becker were some of the nicest people around. Sure, they're in the business to make bank - rightfully so - but Joe was so good in providing us comfort and going beyond our expectations in making the memorial service exactly the way we wanted. We also opted to have Joe take care of catering (snacks from Grasch's and Alterra), the slide show, obituary, and death certificate. They can take care of everything during the process from initially picking the deceased up at the hospital to delivering the cremains to your house. Facilities are also nice. There is one larger, kinda creepy, chapel where services are held, and there's a smaller room, where we decided to hold my dad's memorial service. Whatever your religious affiliation, they have all sorts of artifacts and statues that can be used. They also have a dining room where you can have a catered reception. All in all, Joe made a really difficult situation into a really nice experience to celebrate my dad's life, and I cannot recommend Becker Ritter enough.

Our family worked with Leslie beginning with the intake call. She was wonderful during this difficult time. The items and charges were explained clearly, she took care of calling social security, filing for the death certificate, and got the obit filed in time for the Sunday paper. More importantly, she provided picture boards and easels for our family pictures, assembled a lovely tableau of my aunt's favorite things, and made EVERYTHING go so smoothly on the day of the funeral. Every penny we paid Becker Ritter was worth it. Thank you for helping out of town relatives arrange a beautiful memorial for our Aunt Betty.

Upon his death, everything went smoothly. About two and a half weeks later I was contacted to pick up his remains. I did call a few times to talk to staff with a question and everyone I talked to was kind and helpful. Since my brother was a veteran we received a flag for the funeral and they set up the military honors for the funeral. Everything about Cremation Society of Waukesha/Milwaukee was top notch. I just signed my mother up for her service when the time comes, since this all went so well. I highly recommend this company.

She was clearly quite patient with us (6 or so family members attended) and she assisted in making an excellent plan for our family.

Funeral pre-planning: Their funeral pre-planning service is outstanding and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anybody. Since both my relatives had pre-planned their funerals, it made the funeral planning process much easier for me. Planning the actual funeral: This was pretty straightforward. I came in to select what options I wanted and they took care of the rest. They were very helpful with writing the obituary. I felt like they were taking care of all the details and I didn't need to worry about anything, really. They made a great DVD slideshow of photos I had provided to them; people really enjoyed that. After the funeral they even provided an etiquette brochure that made writing thank you notes easier. Little stuff like that really helped. Staff: Throughout the process, Randle Dable Brisk employees were incredibly caring and detail-oriented. I've worked with both Lee and Tom as funeral directors--they were both very helpful. Cosmetology: This really stood out to me. I don't know how they did it, but they made my relative look so good and very natural. Because of COVID, my relative had not had a haircut in a long time. I provided a couple of photos that showed his previous hair and facial hair style, and the final result exceeded my expectations...by a ton. It was incredibly meaningful to see my relative look so nice and I am grateful for that last memory. Whoever did his hair/makeup is a truly gifted cosmetologist.

They made it easy to go through the options and answered any questions we had. Mostly, my review is about the service itself. First off, our Mom looked beautiful and natural. Nothing like the dreaded stuff you see in movies. She looked like she was taking a nap and was just how you would want to remember her. I found out later that Sarah is the person to credit for this and she did an awesome job. The flowers we received were positioned beautifully and they provided plenty of space and easels for our photo boards. The sign in book table looked great as well, they even had a framed picture with her and all of the info right on the table. Not much else I can say except that they did a great job and we couldn't have been more pleased.

Walking into a funeral home for this type of information is already incredibly emotional and overwhelming, and unfortunately, our experience here made it even harder. We came in simply looking for guidance and information because we did not know where to start. Despite there being no services taking place at the time, we were not greeted in a warm or professional manner. We were left standing while staff gave us scattered bits and pieces of information rather than sitting down with us for a thoughtful or professional conversation. A blood drive was taking place that day that no one was attending so, basic compassion and professionalism should have been shown. We were not offered a seat until I specifically asked, and even then only one seat was offered for the two of us. No one clearly explained the process for making arrangements or scheduling an appointment. We were handed a pamphlet, but the overall interaction felt rushed, impersonal, and lacking empathy. This is a business that works with families during some of the hardest moments of their lives. Compassion, professionalism, and simple courtesy matter greatly. Sadly, we did not feel supported or cared for during our visit. Honestly, it really would not matter what price they would come in at, as I do not foresee ever recommending this establishment.
