HISTORY
Washington County Memorial Park, located at the corner of Paradise Drive and 18th Ave. in West Bend, has been in operation as a non-sectarian, non-profit, private cemetery since 1933. The 55-acre cemetery is owned and operated by the West Bend Cemetery Association, which organized in 1857. The Association’s first cemetery is still in existence—the 4-acre Union Cemetery at S. 10th and Walnut Street in West Bend.
Washington County Memorial Park offers to the public: burial grave lots, mausoleums for above ground crypt burials, and columbariums for above ground niche burials, in a beautiful, peaceful, well-maintained setting. There is also a small Chapel available for those who wish a burial service at the cemetery.
We welcome ALL Denominations.

Crypt space, perpetual care, entombment, a memorial plaque with engraving and veterans insignia are included. Our Columbariums, located behind our Chapel, offer memorial niches for those whom choose cremation (not provided by the cemetery). Niche space, perpetual care, interment, a memorial plaque with engraving and veterans insignia are included.
Traditional Grave Lots
Washington County Memorial Park has many beautiful Grave Lots currently available only in the eastern section of the Cemetery ranging from 1-Grave Lot to 16 Deluxe Grave Lots.

Perpetual Care Assurance
A stipulated sum of money is set aside from each sale in accordance with
Wisconsin State Law, which is placed in an irrevocable trust fund. The interest from this fund is to be used only to perpetuate the care of the cemetery.
PRIVILEGES AND REGULATIONS The West Bend Cemetery Association pledges to provide from the perpetual care funds entrusted to it, quiet and abiding beauty for our cemeteries.
To do that it is necessary to have uniformity and simplicity of cemetery arrangement and minimal maintenance costs.
The Board of Trustees provides the regulations to help you understand your rights and regulations as an owner. Your cooperation is required to create and preserve the beauty and serenity of our cemeteries.
There is a booklet that will be made available to each new lot owner that contains a complete listing of all rules and regulations. Listed below are some of the more important rules that allow the cemeteries to function smoothly and help reduce unnecessary costs.
