St. Athanasios Cemetery Garden at Memorial Park
In the Spring of 2002, after 65 years of a Greek Orthodox presence in the Aurora area, the St. Athanasios Cemetery section was established at Lincoln Memorial Park. Within the Greek Orthodox faith, burial is the only option for the deceased, and the St. Athanasios section meets the burial needs of our community. In orthodox countries the local cemetery is a focal point of community and, like most churches in the Chicago area, St. Athanasios has taken another step forward towards leaving its mark in the community. As we develop our section with an entry marker and ultimately a chapel, it will eventually grow and mature into a beautiful place to honor and memorialize all of our loved ones who have passed away.
