Beautiful well kept cemetery…read more WHEATON CEMETERY Taken from a plaque in the cemetery. "Wheaton Cemetery provides the final resting place for many individuals with ties to Wheaton. The Wheaton Cemetery Association formally incorporated February 14, 1857 by a special act of legislature. In 1861 the original three acre tract of land for the cemetery was acquired from Jesse C. Wheaton, by a combination of purchase and donation. As you make your way through the grounds, the history of Wheaton reveals itself in a tapestry of names, reminders of those who enriched our community through the years. Among those buried in these grounds are Wheaton's founding fathers: Erastus Gary (1806-1887), Jesse C. Wheaton (1813-1895), and Warren 1.. Wheaton (1812-1903). Artistic sculpted monuments create a beautiful memorial park as well as an enduring tribute to those buried here. The stately gray structure is the Gary Mausoleum, constructed by Elbert H. Gary in 1912 of granite from Barre. Vermont. The earliest section of monuments can be found in the front portion of the grounds, on and around the rise. Wheaton Cemetery continues to serve the community, by providing an opportunity to remember those who have gone before us. Established as a Wheaton Historic Site in 1993"

Who writes a review for a cemetery? It would appear I'm about to be the first…read more My stepfather passed away earlier this year and in the midst of helping my mother and sister make all the arrangements, I learned that Wheaton Cemetery was going to be Peter's final resting place along with my mother on day MANY MANY YEARS from now. We visited the cemetery the day before his wake and my mother showed my sister and I where they would be buried. I know it may be a bit morbid, but hey, we're not gonna live forever and if you think about it, a cemetery is something some, if not most, people will have to pick out at some point. Wheaton Cemetery is a small cemetery on Warrenville road off Roosevelt. It's a beautiful cemetery filled with old trees and truly beautiful scenery. It's an older cemetery near a residential area and located directly next to St. Michael's cemetery. If you're not careful, you may accidentally pull in the wrong place if you're heading here. From what I understand they have recently expanded their grounds and are opening up some more burial sites. I never really thought about where I wanted to ultimately end up but I know I want to be with my husband and I would love to be near my mother and/or sister if possible. Their pricing is quite reasonable from what I'm told and hoping that I have many, MANY years before I will actually require their services, I may look into a site at this cemetery one of these days. After all, my mom will be nearby and my stepdad, Pete, is already there waiting for the company.

Heaven knows what will happen to me for bestowing the ultimate rating on a Catholic cemetery not…read moreknown for its number of Italian souls in residence, but this particular place is totally deserving. Located almost across the street from Cantigny, Assumption Cemetery seems to be able to push the envelope against Diocesan rules and regs and they do it in a wonderful way. Finally, a Catholic cemetery that exists for those its supposed to exist for: the bereaved. From the lay out of the land, to the congenial and late staying office staff; from the no holds barred personalized and often decorative displays to the deceased, it appears that anything goes, but in a tasteful, joyous way. This type of effigy is rarely seen in some of the more establishment dwellings of the souls, but it really should be. The Mausoleum on the premises is anything but dour: the stained glass is lovely and Assumption encourages families to offer personal touches in the way of photos, candles, baseball hats, veteran dog tags, and then some, Even as you walk through, without knowing a soul, you can tell what the souls are about. Two of my former students are here and their families have said there is no dread stopping in for a visit. There is also a decent sized chapel that is routinely open throughout the day and here again, Assumption goes the distance. If you stop in to pray or to grieve, expect to be kept company; not by dead silence, but by piped in hymns of the Catholic variety. The grounds overall are immaculate. Whether you are coming, going, or staying, AC has nailed it in figuring out that even death is all about the details. Very nice work!
