Tracy Schessow

Funeral Director

Tracy is originally from Fond du Lac and moved to the Milwaukee area to start mortuary school in 1990 at Milwaukee Area Technical College in West Allis.

“Becoming a member of the Becker Ritter family of funeral directors has allowed me to touch peoples’ lives in ways that I hope brings them a little reassurance in a time of great sorrow. When I was younger I experienced the death of someone very close to me.  And while losing a loved one is never easy, one person was able to lessen my grief.  I found a source of great comfort in the understanding and compassion of a funeral director who really cared. At that moment, I decided I wanted to be able to help people in the same way.”

Tracy was previously a funeral director at Cesarz, Charapata & Zinnecker Funeral Home and in her role was able to compassionately serve countless families during their time of need. Working in the Milwaukee and Waukesha areas has given Tracy the experience and diversity to create personalized tributes to help honor the lives of every family she has served.  Having served on the Board of the Milwaukee/Waukesha County Funeral Directors’ Association (MWFDA) has additionally kept Tracy current on meeting the communities’ needs and wants.
