For more than 180 years, the Catholic Cemeteries of Chicago have served as a foundation to families, joining generations through Peace of Mind, Tradition and Faith. The majestic landscape and historic works of art tell a beautiful story from the past, a spiritual reflection of today and a legacy for tomorrow. With over 45 locations throughout Chicagoland, a variety of interment choices and interest-free prepayment options, preparing for tomorrow has never been easier.

While arranging end of life plans and navigating the world of after life choices, we learned there are many green options that are not widely available in the Midwest or the Chicagoland area. Out of a desire to promote and expand eco-friendly choices for everyone, Cremation by Water was formed.

We transformed an ordinary space into a modern, state-of-the-art, no flame crematory where families can comfortably remain connected to each step of their loved one's after life journey.
