All Cemeteries – letters M-O – Chicago and Cook County Cemeteries

logofinalbrown This Chicago and Cook County Cemetery list is a thumbnail reference of the cemeteries and burial grounds within the present boundaries of Cook County. Unlike other cemetery sources and lists, this site will include those cemeteries that are endangered, abandoned, or have vanished. In addition there are many cross references to cemeteries that have been known by more than one name.

All of these cemeteries will eventually appear in greater detail as blog posts where you will find historical information and much more.

Cemeteries that have already appeared in posts contain a link which will take you directly to the relevant blog post.
