Cemetery

  • St. James Cemetery is located on the west side of the church, at 18228 CTH R, Denmark, WI 54208, immediately behind the church parking lot. The oldest gravestone in St. James Cemetery is dated 1857. Two men from the area who served in the Civil War are buried here, as are many other servicemen from other wars. Land is owned adjacent to the current cemetery for future use. While St. James Church has overall jurisdiction over the cemetery, the day-to-day operations are handled by a Sexton. Our Sexton is Brandon Wotachek, and he can help individuals purchase burial sites, and also assist families when planning a funeral.
