I contacted Clarendon Hills Cemetery a few weeks in advance of my recent visit (I live in another state) to plan ahead and get some ideas of what I would like (my parents and other relatives rest there). Carey Richardson was really helpful, communicating well via both phone (promptly calling me back) and by email (sending me services, prices, maps of the cemetery with the locations of various options). Then, when we met, she was well prepared and efficient. We finished all the paperwork in under an hour, including looking together at the site.
I was thrilled (and could hop in my car and head out). Later, when I arrived home, she emailed a scanned version of the documents at my request.
Many thanks to Carey and Clarendon Hills Cemetery!

I want to thank Jessica Lazo for her help & fast service with the flowers for the graves. I've been going to this cemetery for 29+ years. I have 7 grave sites I visit & take care of with blankets & flowers & the staff has always been very kind to me. Happy Easter!

Very happy with our winter blankets. Just ordered baskets looked wonderful last year. Notification when placed is great. Thanks !!

Is there a way to remove the flag. I'm in Tx so I cant. Thank you

Thank you very much and I appreciate your support with the prompt response to this issue as you know how important it is to honor our loved ones and our families!

Fred Faulkner Lester World War II Medal of Honor Recipient. Served as a Hospital Apprentice First Class U.S. Navy, attached to the 1st Battalion, 22nd Marines, 6th Marine Division as a Medical Corpsman during action against Japanese forces on Okinawa, Shima in the Ryukyu Chain. On June 8, 1945, he saw a wounded marine lying in an open field beyond the front lines following an assault against a strategic Japanese hill position. As he unhesitatingly crawled toward the casualty he was wounded by hostile machine guns. He disregarded the mounting Japanese fire and his own pain to pull the wounded man toward a covered position. Struck by enemy fire a second time before he reached cover, he exerted tremendous effort and succeeded in pulling his comrade to safety. Too seriously wounded to administer aid, he instructed two of his squad in proper medical treatment of the rescued marine. Realizing that his own wounds were fatal, he refused medical attention and expertly directed his men in the treatment of two other wounded marines, succumbing shortly thereafter. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor

After my wife’s passing, I was in shock and grief. My funeral director recommended Clarendon Hills Cemetery where I met with Carey Richardson. Her compassionate care and professional guidance got me through a very difficult time. I am grateful to Carey and all the staff for their kindness and exceptional care during my time of need.
