Lake Mound Cemetery is located on the southeast corner of Sheridan Road and 29th Street in Zion. It covers 1.5 acres adjacent to the north property line of the Memorial Methodist Church.
For more than 140 years, the cemetery was managed by the Lake Mound Cemetery Association which was founded in 1861 by the members of the East Benton Methodist Episcopal Church.
In 2005, the Lake Mound Cemetery Association transferred ownership of the Lake Mound Cemetery to the City of Zion to be operated as a licensed municipal cemetery. The cemetery is currently managed by the Lake Mound Cemetery Board with three members being appointed to two-year terms by the Mayor. The cemetery trust is overseen by the City’s Director of Accounts and Finance. Cemetery maps and records are maintained by the City Clerk. The cemetery grounds are maintained by the City of Zion Public Service Department.
