Future DevelopmentMariposa Cemetery & Scattering SanctuaryPlanning In Progress

Native Wisconsin prairie path with milkweed, grasses, and a modest stone marker.

Future Sanctuary Plan

The Mariposa Sanctuary

A Practical Plan for Ecological RestorationMariposa Cremation is being built around two goals: reliable direct cremation service today and a more thoughtful land-based option for the future.We are planning The Mariposa Sanctuary, a future state-certified ecological cemetery and scattering ground designed to reduce traditional cemetery waste, avoid unnecessary concrete vaults, and support native habitat.

The Pollinator & Monarch Habitat

A protected native planting area with Wisconsin prairie grasses, milkweed, and wildflowers to support honeybees, monarchs, and other local pollinators.

The Certified Scattering Grounds

A managed natural area for cremated remains scattering, designed around state requirements, clear records, and low-impact land stewardship.

Monolithic Mausoleums

Simple above-ground memorial structures planned to sit quietly within the landscape while allowing permanent placement and clear family records.

Mariposa Cremation Society

Joining the Society requires no dues, fees, or pre-payment agreements. It simply keeps you informed as services, pricing, and future sanctuary options develop.

Embalming Non-RequirementEmbalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with a public viewing. Because Mariposa Cremation operates exclusively as a non-ceremonial transitional facility, embalming is neither provided nor required.
