Join us at Union Ridge Cemetery!

On the weekend of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, we are calling on Americans nationwide to pause together in remembrance and unity, marking the occasion with two tributes: a coast-to-coast flag waving and the dedication of a new Woody Williams Gold Star Families Memorial Monument.

Union Ridge Cemetery is a registered Monarch Waystation!

We have also officially began to offer another innovative way to honor your loved ones who have passed. 1 in 4 homes have the ashes of a loved one stored within the home.

Let us help you in a very cost effective way.

To connect the Monarchs and our new Scattering Garden for scattering cremains, we are introducing our latest bronze butterflies. These beautiful butterflies are set atop genuine Chicago granite pavers.

Come and let us show you color and butterfly options for remembrance of your loved ones.

Call us to learn how!

We will be working with Bonstone and their preservation products.
