Krause Funeral Homes & Cremation Services Garners Multiple Awards for Funeral Service Excellence

Wins Milwaukee 2024 “Best of” and “Community Choice” Awards, National Pursuit of Excellence Award

and Qualifies for Milwaukee Business Hall of Fame 

WINTER PARK, Fla. (September 17, 2024) – Foundation Partners Group today announced that Krause Funeral Homes and Cremation Services has been recognized with two of Milwaukee’s most prestigious business awards – the 2024 Best of Milwaukee Award and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s  2024 Milwaukee Top Choice Community’s Choice Award.

Krause Funeral Homes also is among a very small group of companies named to the 2024 Milwaukee Business Hall of Fame; a distinction reserved for companies that have been selected seven years in a row for Best of Milwaukee Awards, as well as a National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) 2024 Pursuit of Excellence Award.

The Best of Milwaukee is an annual awards program honoring the achievements and accomplishments of local businesses that implement programs that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and the community. Winners are determined based on information gathered both internally by the Milwaukee Award Program and data provided by third parties.

Krause Funeral Homes also has been honored with a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 2024 Milwaukee Top Choice Community’s Choice Award, which recognizes more than 500 local businesses and organizations each year.  The awards program begins with public nominations, and the top five nominees in each category are selected for the voting round, which determines the finalists and winners.

“We have a long history of expanding funeral service offerings to anticipate how, when and where families want to be served so this kind of recognition, directly from area residents, means a lot to all of us,” said Kenneth Carlson-McLagan, funeral director and Foundation Partners’ regional leader. “Our team works tirelessly every day to serve families with kindness, compassion and professionalism. It is our honor to serve the Greater Milwaukee community.”

Krause Funeral Homes is Wisconsin’s most experienced end-of-life provider with four locations: two in Milwaukee, one in Brookfield and one in New Berlin. All four locations were honored by the NFDA with a 2024 Pursuit of Excellence Award. For more than four decades, the NFDA has presented this award to funeral homes around the world that have demonstrated a commitment to raising the bar on funeral service excellence by adhering to strict ethical and professional standards and providing outstanding service to families and communities. The Krause team will be honored during the prestigious All-Star Recognition Ceremony at the NF DA International Convention & Expo in New Orleans in October.
