Welcome to Graceland Cemetery and Arboretum
A new welcome experience is coming to Graceland in 2023!
We are eager to announce that beginning on
Monday, October 17th, 2022
construction will officially begin for the historic renovation of the main entry.
Exciting things are to come, and be shared, along the way, as we begin this journey!
During this time, our main entrance, visitor center, parking lots, and office will be closed to the public; however, we will have signage directing everyone to use our newly renovated Greenwood Gate located at 4264 N. Clark St. (just about 0.4 miles north on Clark from our main entrance).

Restrooms will be available outside of our chapel during the duration of construction.
Stay tuned for more information and updates as the work progresses!

Graceland Cemetery is one of Chicago’s finest hidden treasures. On the North Side, amongst the everyday hustle and bustle, lies a serene yet vibrant park-like cemetery.
Located between two major Chicago cross streets, Clark & Irving Park, Graceland Cemetery is the final resting place to many prominent Chicago figures, including athletes, politicians, industrialists and many of the finest architects of the last century. Designed by visionary landscape architects, including O.C. Simonds, Graceland both serves as a glimpse into the past and a beautiful place for the future. Even with all of its 150 years of history, Graceland Cemetery is still an active cemetery and arboretum.
Graceland Cemetery is pleased to announce our new online burial search and tour feature. We hope this will help anyone visiting Graceland, as well as those seeking genealogical information.
