About Elmwood Park, IL
Elmwood Park is a village in Cook County that was incorporated in 1914, in part so the community could remain independent of annexation by the city of Chicago. The village takes its name from a grove of old-growth elm trees near a Milwaukee Road rail stop, once a popular picnic spot for Chicagoans arriving by train.
The village has long been home to a large Italian American community, alongside a growing Hispanic and Latino population, and that heritage shows up in the family-run restaurants along North Avenue, some open since the 1930s and 40s, celebrated each August at the four-day Taste of Elmwood festival. Elmwood Park sits along the Union Pacific/West Metra line and borders Oak Park and the Thatcher Woods forest preserve to the south and west.
Our funeral home at 5735 W. Fullerton Ave., Chicago, IL 60639 is about 10 minutes east of the village, a short drive along Fullerton Avenue.

Our chapel is a short drive east of Elmwood Park at 5735 W. Fullerton Ave., Chicago, IL 60639, roughly a 10-minute trip. Most families take Fullerton Avenue directly east, or follow Grand Avenue or North Avenue toward Harlem Avenue and into Chicago.
