Cremation in Rockford

More and more people are choosing cremation over traditional burial, but most aren’t familiar with the many options:

  • a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
  • a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
  • a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

We offer affordable packages and use a private crematory, which allows us to have complete control of a cremation from start to finish and means your loved one never leaves our care or the care of one of our trusted partners.

Willwood Burial Park

Cemetery grounds at Willwood Burial ParkBanker William Woodruff established Willwood Burial Park in 1921 to offer cemetery options in Rockford, Illinois. His vision saw the growing town’s beautiful rolling hills as the perfect location for a new concept, where nature would play a large part in its design and beauty. When it was built, our Rockford cemetery's architectural grandeur gained widespread acclaim in magazines and newspapers throughout the country.

William's idea has since become a local institution, with generations of families resting peacefully together. We’re proud to be part of this community and look forward to another century of service excellence.
