Only one Graceland



Visitors may confuse Graceland Cemetery, 4001 N. Clark St., with the two others that are in close proximity. Graceland Cemetery, famous for its architecture and planning, is northeast of the intersection of Clark St. and Irving Park Rd.

Immediately south is Wunder's Cemetery at 3963 N. Clark St. This L-shaped cemetery has Irving Park Rd. as its northern border and it extends south along the el tracks which border it on the east.

The small area south of Wunder's on Clark St. contains four cemeteries which were originally under separate management: Hebrew Benevolent Society Cemetery, Anshe Mayrev, Cemetery of the Congregation of the Sons of Peace, and Chebra Kadisha Ubikar Cholm.

There are no borders to these cemeteries and they are in disrepair. They are administered by the Jewish Graceland Company—which has no relation to the Graceland north of Irving Park Rd.
