Within the city limits of urban Chicago lies Saint Luke Cemetery, a peaceful haven for repose. Nestled on over forty acres of land, Saint Luke's has ten well-maintained sections devoted to burial along with a columbarium. A beautiful chapel is also onsite, available for burial services for any faith and denomination, and special commemorations to celebrate such holidays as All Saints Day and Memorial Day are held throughout the year. A rich history marks the life of Saint Luke Cemetery. Established in 1900 as a Lutheran resting place, Saint Luke's was begun by several Chicago Lutheran congregations. Through the years, the cemetery's operations shifted from its original group to its current day sole supporter, Saint Luke's. The cemetery and its grounds are also looked after and professionally maintained by the Church of Saint Luke. In the heart of Chicago, one of the most vibrant cities in the world, Saint Luke Cemetery offers a quiet respite from the busy outside world. Situated near the intersection of Pulaski and Foster Roads, Saint Luke's acres of manicured lawns are dotted with shade trees and foliage. From the moment you drive through the entrance flanked with the Waltz Memorial obelisk and cross to the time you drive throughout the grounds, you'll feel a sense of calm at Saint Luke Cemetery; a sense of time standing still. |
