Dear Families and Friends,
Due to yesterday's severe storms, our office is currently without power. If you need immediate assistance, please call (708) 371-2818 or visit our sister location, Mt. Greenwood Cemetery, located at 2900 W. 111th Street.

The storm also caused significant damage throughout the cemetery grounds, including fallen trees and large branches. Our team is actively working to clear debris and restore the grounds as quickly and safely as possible. If you plan to visit the cemetery, we kindly ask that you use extra caution while navigating the property.

As always, we are here to help. If you need assistance or have any questions, please call us at (708) 371-2818. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support as we work through the cleanup efforts.

Mr. Leak Jr. was known for his kind and helpful nature, always going above and beyond to support families during their most difficult moments. He carried himself with compassion, professionalism, and a deep sense of purpose, offering comfort and guidance with sincerity and respect.

Those who knew him recognized his unwavering dedication to serving others and his ability to bring a sense of calm and reassurance in times of need. His genuine care for people and his commitment to doing what was right left a lasting impression on colleagues, families, and the community alike.

His legacy of kindness, service, and integrity will continue to be remembered by the many lives he touched. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who mourn his loss.

With sincere sympathy,
Rev. Perry G. Walker (GM) & Mount Hope Cemetery staff
