Redeemer UCC Cemetery

The Redeemer UCC Cemetery is a small and intimate location, sited against the backdrop of a quiet mature woodland.

It is easy to get to, around the corner just north of downtown Sussex, WI, on Maple Avenue.  Despite its tenure, the Cemetery has plots yet for sale; there are many for individual grave sites remaining as well as some traditional Family Plots (which each has space for up to four standard casket burials).  Prices are reasonable for church members and perpetual care through the church is assured.  Cremated remains or full burials are acceptable.

History

Redeemer UCC's Cemetery comes out of the merger of Redeemer's two founding churches as it had belonged to the Zion Church of Sussex.  It was established in 1890 when one of the church members, August Mindemann, donated the property to the church for this purpose.  It has been in use ever since.  In 2002 the Cemetery was recognized by the Waukesha County Historical Society and the site has a historical marker posted describing its story to visitors.  Several graves also have markers from the U.S. Veterans Administration recognizing military service.
