What kind of cedar / evergreen?

I'm trying to find the name of a specific tree we'd like to plant on our land. It's the tall, narrow cedar (?) tree that is often used in graveyards (!). The trunk will often split into 3 or 4 branches, but all of the branches grow straight up and parallel like sentries. I'm in zone 4, in west-central Wisconsin, so I need something fairly hardy. Thank you in advance!

Maybe Thuja occidentalis 'Fastigiata'.

on any aged.. extremely old plant.. this could happen to any thuja.. or arb ... or juniper ....

you need to give us a picture.. and maybe even post it in the conifer forum ...

Thank you both - I think the column-shaped arborvitae is just what we're looking for.
