About the Cemetery
St. Mary's Cemetery is located on Springfield Road just north of the intersection with Illinois Route 122, Delavan (view map here). It is operated by St. Mary's Catholic Church. Cemetery plot sales and all business activities are handled through the Parish Office at 505 E. 4th St. in Delavan, 309-244-8516.
Funeral arrangements are routinely handled through the funeral home which contacts the parish regarding specific arrangements. St. Mary Parish is blessed to have a ladies group that coordinates a luncheon following the Funeral Mass if the family so chooses.
We encourage interested parties to purchase grave sites in advance in order to relieve pressures on the family at the time of death. Contact Steve Zahner, 309-678-8381.
