Cardinal Francis George will be buried in the George family plot at All Saints Cemetery & Mausoleum in suburban Des Plaines, where his parents, Francis J. and Julia R. George, were laid to rest.
His funeral arrangements include a public visitation beginning at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in Holy Name Cathedral, and a funeral at noon Thursday, which will require a ticket to attend, the archdiocese said.
A modest, light gray gravestone marks the burial site of George’s parents and a third relative. Julia George died in 1983, her husband a year later.
All Saints, which was consecrated in 1923, lies west of the Des Plaines River and is divided by River Road south of Central Road. Cardinal George dedicated the cemetery’s Immaculate Heart of Mary Garden Mausoleum on July 30, 2001.
According to the catholiccemeterieschicago.org, the oldest part of the cemetery, All Saints East, opened in 1923. All Saints West was opened in 1954, and in 1961 it became the site of the first interment chapel building in archdiocesan cemeteries. In July, a 30-foot-tall shrine honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe will be dedicated at the cemetery.
