Prairie Home Cemetery History-page 3

Prairie Home has availability in almost every section of the cemetery. Although some sections have limited grave spaces available. Each section hosts famous past decedents, from past Waukesha settlers, doctors, to folks who have paved the way for those to enjoy Waukesha as it is today.
Prairie Home can also accommodate private estate mausoleums. There are several dating from the turn of the century. One such estate dating back to 1901 was disassembled, completely refurbished and moved to a new site in the cemetery. It contains both above ground full size crypts and cremation niches.
The New Section of the cemetery, which is south of the drive that divides the cemetery between Prairie Avenue and West Avenue, was first platted in 1920. This section has many available grave spaces in already developed sections, in addition to a Cremation Garden, Mausoleum courtyard, a refurbished semi-private estate and a newly opened (grave) section for over 2,000 new burials.
Prairie Home Cemetery is non-denominational and non-secretarian, serving all faiths. It is our goal to offer products and services regardless of race, religion, economic status or any other definable difference.
