Resurrection Cemetery & Mausoleums

Resurrection Cemetery is a lovely final resting place to many famous people from ball players to political figures. Look up particular graves online and take a tour if you’re inclined. My favorite thing about this cemetery was the incredible artistry in the headstones. Beautiful catholic iconography and wonderful photos of Polish families makes for hours of wandering with camera in hand.

Don’t judge a cemetery, ever. This place is beautiful and easy to walk to. I have many relatives buried in this cemetery.
Yes, there are woods nearby here. You can look in the back section for deer that walk by. It’s pretty cool to see them!
This is also easy to drive if you know where the relatives are. It can be confusing if your relative is in the grass. The buildings are usually easy for me to look at them. Also, if your relative is buried in the grass, please make sure you bring a shovel when there is snow on the ground! It can be hard to find your relatives with snow on the ground!
All in all, beautiful cemetery! I will be here to pray for my relatives! Amen!

I have many grandparents, great-​grandparents, and other relatives (some very distant) that are either interred or buried here. The staff are always very professional and kind to me when I ask for specific directions in locating my loved ones. I’ve never had a problem with anyone here. The mausoleum and the graveyard grounds are kept very clean and it’s always quite peaceful here for me.

C;mon people… you can’t rate a cemetery based solely on one person who works there. This cemetery is beautiful and I go there often. It’s well managed and the sections are clearly marked so navigating it fairly easy. There are many beautiful monuments and markers there just begging to be photographed. The mausoleum is spectacular having the largest stained glass windows in the world. I read one review complaining about animal droppings all over the place. Well, for heaven’s sake! THAT’S WHAT THEY DO! It was also mentioned that someone should get rid of the geese. Seriously? All in all, a wonderful place to visit and photograph. I highly recommend it. Just a note… the listing says the hours are until 4 PM. That’s the office and mausoleum. The cemetery itself is open later. Call for current hours.

I thinks it’s disgusting all the animal droppings that around the gravesites. You can’t even walk two feet without trying to avoid something. Find a way to get rid of the geese, clean the poop up and show respect for the families who have loved ones there.

I agree with Kim. The same identical thing happened to me. Kim you couldn’t have said it better.

I first started coming to Resurrection when my dad passed back in 2001. Mom joined dad in 2006. I will say, the grounds are kept nice. They recently re-​paved one of the roads. I’ve read other review sites people complaining about goose and deer droppings. Please, what do you expect? Where you have water, you have fowl and it’s a safe haven for the deer. I’m more concerned about the people who work in the office. Not all, but today I spoke with a young lady who sounded like she was put out that I asked if the grounds keepers could raise my parent’s headstones as they are sinking into the ground. I’m sorry missy, you get paid to do administrative work. It’s not like I asked her to personally go out and throw a little dirt under the headstones. We wouldn’t want her to get up off her duff or attempt to break a nail. I sure hope she doesn’t handle newly grieving folks this way.

Its a place to practice driving. or visit the plots of loved ones. either way its A-​OK
