Westlawn Cemetery enjoys a long history of caring. Having
served members of Chicago's Jewish community for over 60 years,
Westlawn has set the standard in personal attention and dignity
in time of need. Thousands of families have come to regard
this as their own special place to honor and memorialize their
loved ones. Since our founding, our dedicated staff has taken
special pride in the personal assistance they have provided
to past generations and looks forward to continuing their service
to succeeding generations.
A TIME TO PLAN
While many tend to postpone making arrangements, discussion
of pre-planning burial needs with Westlawn ahead of time has
many benefits. In addition to bringing peace of mind to families
at a very trying time, pre-planning is practical as well. Reserving
your own and your family's personal space in advance assures
that your choices are honored and that you are protected against
increased burial costs.Westlawn counselors understand the complexities and challenges
in dealing with the loss of a loved one. We will respectfully
discuss your needs and plans and make every effort to provide
the best personal assistance when making your decision.
COMPLETE MEMORIAL ASSISTANCE
Westlawn's counselors will assist you in selecting a fitting
memorial or monument to honor the memory of your loved one.
Choose from a wide selection of custom stone monuments, etched
forever in fine granite or bronze.
You may also choose a living memorial. Westlawn is pleased
to provide seasonal plantings with several available options.
SPECIAL CARE
"Special Care" is
Westlawn's care program that assures both lasting beauty
and your peace of mind. Our attention
will be constant, year after year, without the worry of escalating
prices.
From traditional burial to mausoleum entombment, our dedicated
counselors can assist you in exploring these alternatives.
PRESENTING CHICAGO'S NEWEST MAUSOLEUM
To better serve the growing needs of our community, Westlawn
began work in 1998 on its newest addition, the multiphase Westlawn
Mausoleum. One of the finest mausoleums in the Midwest, this
beautiful, modern monument provides a comfortable setting for
family members to pay their respects and honor loved ones.
Peace and honor surround you upon entering the sun-filled
atrium. From the artful blending of marble and granite to the
warmth of natural sunlight, elements of earth and sky combine
to create a special timeless tribute.
The first of several phases of development was completed in
1999. Phase II of development will begin in October of 2001.
Entombment options range from areas devoted to family and
loved ones, to couch crypts. Upon final completion, the mausoleum
at Westlawn will feature approximately 4,000 crypts. Our professional
staff will be glad to provide you with additional details of
our offerings.
A MATTER OF PERSONAL CHOICE
While burial preferences vary from person to person, mausoleum
entombment is becoming increasingly popular. In order to serve
the needs of today's and future generations, Westlawn is committed
to providing Jewish families with a choice of options.
