Union Ridge Cemetery

Preserving History, Honoring Lives

Established in 1838 and officially chartered in 1843, Union Ridge Cemetery is one of Chicago's oldest and most historic operating cemeteries. For nearly two centuries, we have been a place of dignity, remembrance, and peace, providing a final resting place for over 34,000 individuals, including 400 veterans. As a nondenominational cemetery, we honor and embrace diverse cultural and religious traditions. With historic grounds, towering centuries-old trees, and a dedicated team, we ensure every individual is remembered with respect, while preserving history and serving the community with care.
