The charming village of Forest Park, Illinois, surrounds the beautiful grounds of Concordia Cemetery, a non-profit cemetery with a dedicated staff and a mission to maintain the property for years to come.  The historic grounds, established in 1872, are known for a large number of impressive obelisks that rise from the earth in the northeast section, and by the intricately carved angels that dot the property. 

Bordered by the picturesque Des Plaines River to the west and the Eisenhower Expressway to the south, Concordia is easily accessible, yet provides a beautiful setting for quiet contemplation.  Approximately ten miles from downtown Chicago, the site is famous as the final resting place for many victims of the Eastland disaster, a tragedy that occurred in the Chicago River in 1915. 

With close proximity to the great city of Chicago, Concordia is a peaceful haven in the middle of the bustling Chicagoland area.  The friendly Midwestern atmosphere, as well as the rich history and stunning beauty of this meticulously cared-for cemetery, make it a welcome refuge and a sanctuary for visitors.  As the bell tower plays Christian hymns on the hour and for processions, the serene ambiance of Concordia brings peace to all who enter its gates.
