Why is a cemetery often called a “city of the dead”? Here at All Saints Cemetery, the term takes on a poignant significance. Established in 1923, All Saints Cemetery isn’t just a place of mourning, but a testament to the lives that shaped Chicago. This sprawling cemetery, with its East and West sections, holds the stories of everyday citizens and prominent figures alike. Walk these paths, and you might find yourself near the grave of Harry Caray, the legendary voice of the Chicago Cubs. Imagine the echoes of his iconic, “Holy cow!” ringing out across these serene grounds. Or pause at the resting place of Cardinal Francis George, a leader who guided the Archdiocese of Chicago. All Saints is also the final resting place of Matthew Eappen, the infant son of Deborah and Sunil Eappen, whose story became a national controversy. All Saints Cemetery stands as a solemn reminder of the lives that have woven together to create the fabric of this city. Each headstone whispers a story, a testament to the enduring spirit of Chicago and its people.
