Bluff City Cemetery

Owned and operated by the City of Elgin, Bluff City Cemetery is a nonsectarian cemetery that has provided the final resting place for area residents since 1889. Bluff City Cemetery’s 108-acres of well maintained grounds, bordering fen and butterfly garden provide a beautiful and peaceful setting for visitors to remember loved ones

We at Afterlife Tours, Inc. wanted to let everyone know some additional facts about Bluff City Cemetery.

​

This is the third cemetery in the City of Elgin. As other cemeteries ran out of space, family members were moved to a newer larger cemetery. Well, at least they were supposed to have been moved. Many bodies were left behind, and only the headstone or monument was actually moved.
