About Bohemian National Cemetery

Bohemian National Cemetery in Chicago is more than a burial ground; it’s a living landmark that honors Czech-American heritage and notable historical events. Founded in 1877 by Chicago’s Czech community, this expansive site preserves a rich tapestry of memorials, including a limestone gatehouse, decorative columbarium niches, the Eastland Disaster Memorial, and the Anton Cermak mausoleum. With an active cemetery that manages approximately 120,000–150,000 graves, Bohemian National Cemetery is also a quiet venue for reflection and cultural remembrance.

Whether you're researching family history, attending a Memorial Day ceremony, or exploring Czech-American heritage events, we’ve got practical details to help you plan your visit. Secure your seats for events or simply drop by to experience this historic Chicago site.

Parking is available on-site, with visiting hours typically from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm; please confirm current hours with the cemetery office before your visit. For transit, CTA bus routes such as 22 Clark and 70 Division service the area, and the nearest rail access is the Blue Line at Jefferson Park.
