Forever Home Cemetery
A tranquil cemetery in Lincoln, Illinois, where people and their pets can rest together forever.
Forever Home Cemetery is a project of the Humane Society of Logan County, Illinois, laid out across about two acres on the shelter's grounds and planned for more than 1,200 plots over several phases. It is one of the only cemeteries in central Illinois where people and their pets can be laid to rest together. Dreamed up by shelter volunteers in 2011 and approved by the City of Lincoln in 2012, it was envisioned as a dignified final resting place for people and the pets they loved — with its proceeds helping support the shelter and keep the grounds cared for, and a gazebo at its center for memorial services and gatherings.
In Illinois, human and animal cremains can be interred together in one place. Each plot can hold the cremated remains of as many as four people or pets.
"It's very hard to lose a pet. The last one I lost, I think I cried for six weeks. I loved my dog so much. They're like family." — a founding volunteer, Forever Home Cemetery
