Looking for an alternative to a traditional in-ground burial? Consider a mausoleum—a free-standing building that houses remains above ground. In addition to our public mausoleum, Springdale is home to 16 private family mausoleums. The first was built in 1859 by the Zotz family and the most recent in 2020 by the Johnson family.
Contact our office at 309-681-1400 to learn more about all your burial options.
