📜 Rooted in Minnesota’s Story

Elmhurst Cemetery was established in 1858, the very same year Minnesota became a state. Once lined with 760 elm trees, the cemetery has been a witness to generations of history.

As one of St. Paul’s oldest cemeteries, Elmhurst stands alongside Oakland and Calvary Cemeteries in honoring the legacy of Minnesota’s earliest families and pioneers.

Preserving history. Honoring lives.

Today, we pause in solemn remembrance of the lives lost on September 11, 2001. On this day, our nation was forever changed, and we honor the memory of the men, women, and children who never came home.

At Elmhurst Cemetery, we are reminded daily of the importance of remembrance of carrying forward the stories and legacies of those who came before us. Just as we care for the resting places of loved ones here, we also hold space in our hearts for those who were taken from us that tragic day.

May we never forget their lives, their courage, and the unity that carried us forward in the days that followed.

🌼 Meet the “New Gardeners” at Elmhurst!

This summer, we’re excited to welcome Rob Krueger and Eric Grube as the newest caretakers of beauty here at Elmhurst Cemetery. By day, Rob and Eric are professors at Concordia University, St. Paul, Rob teaches math and Eric teaches accounting—but in their free time, they’ve stepped in with green thumbs and big hearts to help our grounds flourish.

The stunning flowers gracing the cemetery were purchased by Rob through the Ramsey County Correctional Facilities’ annual plant sale, supporting a meaningful community initiative while adding color and life to our sacred spaces.

We’re grateful for their dedication and the thoughtful care they’re bringing to Elmhurst.

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to the newest member of our Elmhurst Cemetery team, Patti Grube! Patti joined us at the front desk earlier this year and brings a wealth of experience in accounting and finance, including 18 years at Capella University in Financial Planning and Analysis. While the cemetery world is new to her, she’s embraced the role with curiosity, heart, and a sense of humor!

Patti has quickly become a vital part of our office team—solving daily “Scooby-Doo mysteries” and enjoying the many interesting stories that come through our doors. She’s also discovered just how many people stop by the office each day!

Outside of work, Patti enjoys hiking, quilting, and spending time with her husband and four adventurous kids. She recently picked up playing 500 with friends, and yes—she’s never owned a car with an automatic transmission!

We're so lucky to have Patti’s warmth, insight, and can-do spirit at Elmhurst. Welcome, Patti we’re glad you’re here!
