Central Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery

Wisconsin's first state veteran's cemetery opened in June of 1888 with the burial of a Civil War veteran. In addition to veterans from the Civil War the CWVMC is the final resting place for veterans of the Indian Wars, Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Persian Gulf War, as well as peacetime veterans. More than 8,500 veterans and their dependents have been buried in the cemetery since its inception.

An enclosed committal shelter is used for services year-round. The cemetery also hosts veterans' events and commemorations in its ceremonial area and flag plaza.

The cemetery inters caskets and cremation urns year-round. Cremated remains may be interred either in ground or in an above ground columbarium.  All internments are memorialized with a government marker that will include the veteran's name, rank, branch of service, war period, birth date, death date and spousal information. Families also have the option of adding an additional inscription/term of endearment to their loved ones' marker if space is available on the marker.

The cemetery is conveniently located in central Wisconsin near the City of Waupaca and is easily accessible from U.S. Highway 10.​ ​
