Evergreen Memorial Cemetery

We had a wonderful time on the cemetery walk through the cemetery today.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Beautiful grounds, grass, trees. Occasional joggers and dog walkers on the property - people need to pick up their pet's waste. Thank you!

It is a very well-maintained cemetery. I've visited many cemeteries in my lifetime, but I have never seen a cemetery that offers a scavenger hunt. It's a list of things you can find in the cemetery: star, lamb, dog, acorn, heart, wings, etc. There's a wooden structure near the entrance where you can pick up a list, if you'd like to participate in the scavenger hunt.

Cemeteries are for the living and Evergreen has always been a positive experience! I've been coming here for the annual Cemetery Walk in the autumn and to look after two (2) plots. Pathways are clear to ride your bike and walk your dogs. Friends, please do your part and keep Evergreen clean!
Lastly, if you see a person (including myself) at a grave, that is NOT an open invitation to walk over to that person and impose your religious beliefs. Religion and/or lack of religion is a personal choice. Be respectful of others- even if they don't share your religion/practices.

I have loved ones buried here and have always found the staff to be very helpful and supportive. They go above and beyond to take care of the families they work with. I've also attended their events and am truly inspired by the staff's dedication to the community and the families whose loved ones are buried there.

I have never buried someone there, but everyone seems to be resting comfortably. I go here about once a week to walk, think, talk to God, and read headstones. It is fascinating some of the graves are so old and in such good shape. This is a wonderful piece of history.

Although a Bloomington native, this was my first attendance of the Fall Cemetery Walk. The Guides do an amazing job setting the stage for the actors and do a great job working with the crowd, answering what questions they can, and keeping all the group moving to the next actor! Can not say enough positive about the beautiful afternoon I spent at Evergreen! I hope to be back!

Well maintained cemetery with a tremendous amount of local, state and federal history. Beautiful place and don’t miss the annual Cemetery Walk in October, where the history comes alive.

Beautiful cemetery with rich history. Every year they open their grounds for McLean County Museum of History's Cemetery Walk! It's great.

A very large and beautiful cemetery! It’s always well kept and just so peaceful walking through.

I learned to ride a bike here, so I owe this place a lot.

Very special visit, sad but special.

Always good to me

Beautiful cemetery

A well maintained and beautiful cemetery to walk or bike through. Lots of history.

While beautiful and full of history, I am deeply disappointed with Evergreen Cemetery’s policy of throwing away grave decorations and memorials only a week after they were placed on the grave. While I understand real flowers need to be discarded, I fail to understand why fake flowers and other items are tossed after one week. And then to require people to purchase a $300 vase from the cemetery in order to avoid their items being discarded? That is wrong. Many people who visit weekly simply cannot afford to bring new decorations every week. It is incredibly disrespectful to visitors, and gives off the impression that this cemetery views the family and friends of the deceased as profit rather than grieving members of the community.
