Services in Illinois

Choosing a Cemetery in Illinois
Why are people interested in services in Illinois? For the same reason as those interested in any particular state: convenient location, sentimental value, or the amenities of a certain cemetery.
Art enthusiasts will be drawn to the small town of South Beloit, where the Floral Lawn Cemetery features white marble sculptures by Dominic Zappia, a world-famous Italian sculptor.
Joliet is about 30 miles southwest of Chicago and a haven for nature lovers. It is a Des Plaines River town overflowing with wildlife, which is reflected in the butterfly garden at Woodlawn Memorial Park I. Its sister site, Woodlawn Memorial II, is equally beautiful and offers a Garden of Angels for babies.
Veterans and their families will note that Floral Lawn, Woodlawn Memorial Park I and Woodstock's McHenry County Memorial Park each have a veterans' section. And Willow Lawn Memorial Park in Vernon Hills also has a 9/11 dedication. Like Willow Lawn, Windridge Memorial Park in Cary has a pet cemetery.
