🕊️ Today is National Grief Awareness Day. We recognize those who are grieving the loss of someone they love and remind them that there is no "right" way or set amount of time to grieve.

At Troost Cemeteries, we know that remembrance can be an important part of the journey. A visit to a gravesite, sharing a favorite story, looking through old photographs, or simply saying their name can help keep a loved one's memory close.

Today, and every day, there is space for grief. And there is space for remembrance.

Grounds visitation is open and closes 30 mins after sunset today.

Cemetery Trivia: Have you ever noticed a monument that looks like a tree trunk with chopped-off branches?

Do you know what it represents?

👇 Here’s the answer!

These unique monuments mark the graves of members of Modern Woodmen of America and Woodmen of the World, fraternal benefit societies founded in 1890 that provided financial security and life insurance to their members.

One of their most distinctive benefits was a tree-stump monument, provided to members at no additional cost. Each monument was designed to resemble a natural tree trunk and hand-carved from limestone or sandstone by a local stone carver.

Did you know? Our sister location, Arlington Cemetery Elmhurst, is home to a large Modern Woodmen of America group monument, erected in 1913.

Next time you’re visiting one of our cemeteries, take a closer look — you might spot one of these fascinating pieces of history!

"I have worked with Parkholm and Clarendon Cemetery over the last 5 months in planning my father's final committal and burial. I have received top notch service, they have gone out of their way to assure all of my concerns were addressed, and truly have been a pleasure to work with during one of the most difficult times of my life. I am so thankful for their excellent service." - Gazelle F.

Thank you for trusting us to care for the people and places that mean so much to you.
