Bertha and Potter Palmer and several descendants rest in peace at Graceland at Clark and Irving Park Road on Chicago's north side.  Their monument was inspired by The Sacred Grove Beloved of the Arts and Muses completed by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes in 1889.  The Palmers bought the painting in 1891 -- the summer they traveled to Paris to buy paintings for their new home on Chicago's Lake Shore Drive.  The Sacred Grove was donated to the Chicago Art Institute in the 1920s.

The Gothic tomb marks the final resting place of Bertha's parents Eliza Carr and Henry Hamilton Honore (1823-1916), who made a fortune in real estate after moving to Chicago in the 1850s and has a south side street named for him.  The pink granite boulder on an island marks the grave of architect Daniel Hudson Burnham (1846-1912), who created a plan for Chicago's lakefront in the early 20th century -- still being carried out in the 21st century. Click on Burnham's monument to see The Rookery, the building on the southeast corner of LaSalle and Adams in Chicago that he designed in the 1880s with John Wellborn Root. Since a 1992 restoration the inner court looks the way it did in 1906 when Frank Lloyd Wright modernized it.
