Unfortunately, headstones can’t escape the ravages of time.
Often, there is no family left to care for a gravesite. Would you
like to sponsor the restoration of a headstone? Contact our
office at 309-681-1400.

What to do if you would like it restored but simply don't have the funds? Year after year my great xs 3 grandparents headstone lays flat instead of upright, slowly fading the only memorial that proves they once lived after immigrating here. Is there a process?
Issac Underhill arrived in Peoria in 1833. He was a ferry owner,
land developer and railroad president who became known as
the “Empire Builder.” Underhill’s large farm north of Peoria
eventually became the village of Rome. You can visit his grave
in the Walnut Grove section.
