This cemetery has the graves of veterans from every of our Nation’s wars. It is the oldest cemetery in Aurora. The public is welcome. Please bring a folding chair.
West Aurora Cemetery is on Wilder Street between Illinois Avenue and Plum Street. We can celebrate Memorial Day with this traditional and moving tribute to our fallen heroes.
