Headstones in Wunder's Cemetery

Immediate Need Purchase

People may not have given a lot of thought to what happens when we lose a loved one. If a family hasn’t already made the necessary arrangements with a cemetery, we can help with this "immediate need". We will assist you with grave site selection and the necessary interment documents for your loved one. Contact our office so that we can assist you. We offer both full casket burial as well as cremation urn burial. Your time of grief and loss is our time to be closely attentive to your needs.

Monument Placement

An appropriate monument to identify the gravesite of a loved one is a way not only to state the name with dates of birth and death, but to honor the memory and give future visitors a glimpse of the loved one’s legacy. Wunder’s works with local monument vendors such as Gast Monuments to fulfill your desired placement.

Please contact our office to discuss the type of marker that will be a fitting memorial and also be appropriate to our cemetery grounds.

Volunteer work days

Through the Spring to Fall seasons we welcome volunteers to come out for work days. This is a great opportunity to get outdoors and do some clean-up, gardening, and beautification on our grounds. Often scheduled for select Saturday mornings, please check our Facebook page for announcements about the next scheduled work day. We hope you can join us!
