C 20a A GUIDE TO 2006-07 “PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD” HISTORICAL OPENING OF GOOD SHEPHERD CATHOLIC CEMETERY

On May 2, 2005, Good Shepherd Cemetery, 16201 S. 104th Ave., Orland Park, Illinois, was the first cemetery to open in the Archdiocese of Chicago in over forty-five years…The new cemetery is designed to meet the needs of the growing Catholic community in the southwest suburbs.

Good Shepherd Cemetery and the Garden Crypt Complex are worthy of those you cherish and an inspiration to all who visit. ARTISTICALLY ELEGANT - OFFERING ABOVE-GROUND BURIAL An architectural marvel of vaulted glass and magnificent Italian mosaics – handcrafted by renowned artists and reassembled here in the States – provides an alternative for those who desire above-ground burial. The crypts themselves are faced with actual sections of these colorful mosaics – their pictorial radiance is a moving tribute to you and yours…for the new Millennium. OFFERING IN-GROUND BURIAL Reserved since the 1950’s, this consecrated land stretches for 320 acres, sixty of which are now developed for use in our long tradition of caring for the remains of Catholic families and their loves ones. Our chapel, family gathering rooms and offices, all newly built, are prepared and fully-staffed to receive you in a style and manner ever-sensitive to your needs. A SACRED PLACE When we are baptized, we are brought to a SACRED PLACE, a Catholic Church, and baptized into the mystery of Christ’s death and resurrection – thus giving us the promise of eternal life. When one of our loved ones dies, we take them to another SACRED PLACE, a catholic cemetery, for burial in sacred ground while they await the resurrection of the dead and the promise of eternal life. Since death is a natural part of life, it is only fitting that the Catholic Church be present at the time of death. In the Preface of the Funeral Mass the words “…for your faithful people O Lord, life has changed not ended” are prayed. Death as seen through the eyes of a Christian is not the end; it is simply a natural passageway to a changed life with God. Burial in a Catholic cemetery is a statement of continued belief in that everlasting life, even in death. The church expects the burial of Catholics in a Catholic cemetery. To avoid breaking close family ties, all members of Catholic families may be interred in a Catholic cemetery. In the Archdiocese, Catholic burial, including the funeral Mass, is permitted for a baptized Christian who might reasonably be presumed to desire or prefer Catholic burial services. Such a decision would be appropriate where the non-Catholic party worshipped regularly at the Catholic Church or identified with the Catholic Church more than any other. Since 1963, cremation has been an acceptable option for those of the Catholic faith. Whenever possible, however, the church always prefers the interment or entombment of the body because it gives fuller expression to our Christian faith. OVER 160 YEARS OF SERVICE More than forty Catholic cemeteries serve the families of the Archdiocese. Peace of mind and economic prudence prompt many to pre-plan for their burial needs, for the sake of their loved ones…and the personal comfort of making selections in advance.
