I recently worked with Paradise Memorial Funeral Home during a difficult time, and I couldn't be more grateful for their exceptional service. From the moment I contacted them, they handled everything with professionalism and compassion.

Their staff went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and wishes, ensuring that every detail was taken care of seamlessly. They guided me through the process with empathy and sensitivity, making a challenging situation much more manageable for my family. The facility was comforting and well-maintained, providing an environment for me to discuss how to celebrate my loved one.

I recommend Paradise Memorial to anyone in need of compassionate and reliable planning and funeral services. Their dedication was felt, and I am grateful for their support.

Although times may prove difficult for families to cope with, Paradise funeral home has been detrimental in assisting my family with the burden of handling financial stress regarding the cost of burying my many beloved family members. I can only imagine how difficult it must be trying to please each family member grieving, yet the staff was efficient when finding the right family member to delegate personal matters to the rest of their family. No loss, no grieving, nor sadness will ever become positive review, but the people behind the scenes can take our loved ones final wishes and provide a setting where family members can gather, cry, laugh and share memories of the fondest moments, all while being professional. Thank you Paradise for my mother, grandmother, nephew, grandfather, and so many other loved ones gone before me. The way my family gathered, I am thankful for each and every one of you. May God continue to bless you all.

Paradise Memorial FH & Cremations hosted a fantastic service and attention to detail! I have been to numerous home going ceremonies over the years and this experience was like no other. I have been impressed each and every time with their commitment to the families and people they serve. They are caring during the stressful process and even after the service! I highly recommend them as each and every one of their employees go above and beyond to make you feel like you’re apart of the Paradise Memorial family!

Paradise Memorial’s staff exhibited compassion and professionalism with my father’s funeral arrangements. They took the stress off my family by delivering my father’s pre-planned arrangements flawlessly and carrying out his last wishes. They have consistently serviced my family’s funeral needs over the years, and I would not consider going anywhere else.

Back in 2013 we chose Paradise Memorial for the home going services of my Grandmother, we loved their work so much that when my oldest brother passed in 2015 Paradise was the only funeral home we trusted. They have done such an extraordinary job with the funerals of my family members that we have recommended them to any and everyone we know. Throughout the years I have attended many funerals at Paradise and I must say they have NEVER disappointed or fallen short. Just a few weeks ago I attended a funeral at their new funeral home LEON L WILLIAMSON funeral home and they were absolutely amazing! From the staff to the final viewing we were just amazed. We will forever be grateful to Paradise and Leon’s for making our final visitation and viewing of our loved ones the greatest we could’ve ever expected.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience when my family had to lay my grandma to rest. It was one of the hardest times in my life. Not only because my grandma was gone, but also because to watch the hurt in my mom's eyes was unbearable. I'm thankful for the professionalism and thoughtfulness of the Paradise staff. You made the process effortless for us. One less thing for us to worry about. Thank you Paradise!!!!!

My mom recently passed and Paradise was absolutely awesome. They were both warm and professional. I instantly knew I made the best choice when I reached out to Mrs. Camelia Clarke that morning. She and her husband, Mr Marcel Clarke, and the rest of the Paradise staff showed care and compassion from beginning to end. Paradise has even checked on me several times since my moms transition last month. I would definitely recommend their services to everyone I know. I also recommend pre-planning. A special thanks to Benjamin Robinson, Anderson Randolph, and that sweetheart young lady that did my moms make up. I appreciate you all so much. God bless you!!

We were referred to Paradise by a friend. They said that they were thoughtful and caring, and would take good care of us and our son who passed away. They were so right! I couldn't agree more. They took time with us to plan a special service. They also offered a wonderful video presentation and online services. All at a very good price. We were very pleased.

They really did a wonderful job with my mom. We felt like they really cared for my family. We worked with Monique and Marcel the most and they were awesome. They truly care about your family and really work hard to treat your loved one with the utmost rd respect. Having a funeral during a pandemic is very stressful, but I can definitely say they made it not as stressful as it could have been. Thank you to the staff of Paradise Memorial funeral home. Job well done!

I just want to give a sincere thank you to Paradise funeral home for making my mothers home going a great success. They were very professional and timely from the very beginning through the quoting process and helping us make the final arrangements of my mother’s home going. The staffing there was very professional and very caring at the same time. The facilities are very nice and very comfortable. It’s very clean and has a really home like feel to it. Even after the funeral paradise has checked in on our family to make sure that we are doing okay after the phone calls and cards stopped. I feel they were very understanding as to what our needs were during our time of grieving and even after the funeral. I know the next time we have to bury someone that Paradise will be the first one on my list list. Thank you paradise funeral home for all that you did for our family and how you serve the greater Central Milwaukee city. God Bless, The Anderson Family

My niece recently died and the staff at Paradise supported my sister in planning the services. I appreciate the care and late night conversations with my sister. The staff treated her as if she were there own family by comforting her and allowing her to take care of the business side of planning at her own pace. The service customized to best reflect my niece's personality and support the family during this unexpected experience. Thank you so very much.
