Hillside

Oak Ridge and Glen Oak are adjoining cemeteries in west suburban Hillside, not far from Mt. Carmel. They feature a spectacular neoclassical community mausoleum, sections for Masons, Showmen, and members of the Salvation Army; and a popular attraction for fans of Blues music: the grave of Chester Burnett, a.k.a. "Howlin' Wolf".

Oak Ridge has a separate Jewish section, with rows of identical gravestones of red granite. In the front of the Jewish section is a war memorial consisting of a large cannon and numerous dedication plaques.
