4. Our History
Bill Toson, the third generation of the Toson family, acquired
ownership of Pinelawn Memorial Park from his father in 1987 and
turned management over to his daughter, Christine Toson,
representing the fourth generation in 2000. The cemetery
remains one of a few family owned and operated memorial parks
in the State of Wisconsin, which the Toson family takes great
pride in.
Throughout the 2000’s, Pinelawn has continued to expand and
build additional burial options to accommodate options available
for burials. The mausoleum chapel was expanded and updated,
adding glass and bronze front cremation niches within the
comfort of an interior building. Additional mausoleum garden
buildings which includes space for caskets and cremation urns
were constructed in 2000 and in 2014. The majestic fountain that
used to be the focal point in Section 7 and was torn down in the
mid-1990’s was replaced with Tranquility Waters, which is an
updated outdoor water feature with bubbling water pools and
cascading water. This feature also included exclusive cremation
burial options that embrace the peace that water brings to
nature.
