Shady trees, rolling green grass, and tranquil solitude are trademarks of the beautiful Elmlawn Cemetery & Mausoleum.  Nestled in the Chicago suburbs of Elmhurst near Highways 290 and 294, Elmlawn was established in 1949 and is privately owned and managed.

Designated as Tree City, U.S.A., an honor the city has held for the last twenty-five years, Elmhurst was home to some of the first European settlers in the late 1800’s.  The township has grown from a small community of 1,050, when it was incorporated as a village in 1882, to over 50,000 residents who now call Elmhurst home.  Along with its growing population, Elmhurst is also home to the prestigious Elmhurst College, one of the top liberal arts colleges in the nation. 

Just a short drive away is the famed city of Chicago, home to Wrigley Field, The Sears Tower and Lincoln Park Zoo.  The third largest city in the United States, Chicago is a vibrant cultural center, just miles from the quiet town of Elmhurst.  Close in proximity to the Windy City but still miles away from its bustle, Elmwood Cemetery & Mausoleum is a calm sanctuary where nature and peaceful tranquility abide.
