🌿 Progress is happening every day at Forest Park Cemetery East! 🌿

Our crew has been working hard clearing sections of overgrowth throughout the cemetery, and the difference is incredible. With each section completed, the grounds become cleaner, more beautiful, and more accessible for the families who visit their loved ones.

These improvements take time, but we are committed to restoring and maintaining the beauty of our cemetery one section at a time. Thank you to our dedicated grounds team for their hard work and attention to detail.

Stay tuned as we continue making progress across the property!

It is our honor and privilege to serve this community. In times like these, we are reminded how deeply we are all connected. When tragedy strikes, we come together to comfort, to support, and to carry one another through the weight of grief.

Our hearts are with the families and loved ones. No words can ease such pain, but we hope that in some small way, offering a place of rest and remembrance brings a measure of peace.

Grief is love with nowhere to go. So we hold space for that love by showing up, by standing together, and by extending compassion to those who need it most.

It is a solemn responsibility, and a true honor, to serve in moments like these. We remain here for our community, with care, dignity, and respect.

LOCAL CEMETERY DONATES PLOT AND VAULTS FOR 8 CHILDREN WHO DIED IN THE APRIL 19TH MASS SHOOTING: Forest Park Cemetery is donating everything to the family (plots, vaults, and professional service fees). The April 19th Survivors Fund will not be used.
