Beyond the Gate Concerts Amid Cemetery Probe | Chicago News

Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza’s office is investigating Bohemian National Cemetery after reports of equipment failures and uncremated remains—though the cemetery confirms all bodies have since been cremated and returned to families. Despite the probe, the beloved Beyond the Gate music series, featuring big-name acts and running for over a decade, continues as scheduled this August and September, with organizers confident the cemetery is handling the situation responsibly. The concerts, held on a separate lawn area from burial grounds, have long supported both community spirit and cemetery upkeep. This follows another disturbing case involving a funeral home with over fifty mishandled remains, underscoring the Comptroller’s message: everyone deserves dignity in death and families deserve peace of mind.
