About the Cemetery
St. Mary's Cemetery is located on Springfield Road just north of the intersection with Illinois Route 122, Delavan. 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.

Shepherd Hooks and Other Items Removed, 2020
Each year, 2 weeks before Palm Sunday, the cemetery is cleared of all approved and unapproved flowers, wreaths, grave blankets, and other decorations.
During this year's annual cleanup, several shepherd hooks and other metal items were removed, as they are not allowed on gravesites. These have been labeled and stored in the screened patio behind the St. Mary rectory, Delavan. Please stop by and claim your items.
