Waukau Cemetery
Founded 1850

Lives are commemorated - Deaths are Recorded - Families are Reunited -
Memories are made tangible - And love is undisguised.
This is a Cemetery.

Communities accord respect.  Families bestow reverence,
Historians seek information and our heritage is thereby enriched.

Testimonies of devotion, pride and remembrance are carved in stone to pay
warm tribute to accomplishments and to the life - not death - of a loved one.
The cemetery is homeland for family memorials that are a
sustaining source of comfort to the living.

A cemetery is a history of people - a perpetual record of yesterday
and a sanctuary of peace and quiet today.
A cemetery exists because every life is worth loving
and remembering - Always.

Dedicated to the unmarked graves in this cemetery.
