Over 23 years of monumental service!

Lifetime Memorials was established when two industry veterans,  Keven Schumacher and Billy Krause, struck out on their own to produce and sell monuments the way they always believed it should be done: with care, compassion, creativity and convenience for the customer.  Founded in 2001, both Keven and Billy worked in the industry for many years prior to starting their own monument business.  Keven started out in the 1970’s and was known for adding unique design touches to countless memorials now resting throughout the Chippewa Valley.

Billy Krause developed his stone cutting skills over decades of work in the shop and in the field.   As a stone cutter, Billy would say he could ”shape carve a rose so realistic you’d think you could smell it.”  In 2001,  Keven & Billy open the doors of Lifetime Memorials with a commitment to providing customers with A Lasting Tribute To Life.

With the assistance of a local production facility, Lifetime Memorials served over 800 families in that first year.  Since then, Lifetime Memorials has been proud to assist thousands of families, groups and civic

organizations throughout Wisconsin with memorials that will stand for generations.  While cemetery memorials are still our primary focus, our product offerings have grown to include commemorative bronze plaques, engraved pavers, commercial signage, park benches and veterans memorials.  The commitment the company was founded on continues and we look forward to working with you to create a “Lasting Tribute” at Lifetime Memorials.
