The 200-seat chapel was built in 1860 and had recently undergone a complete restoration. The chapel is a warm and intimate setting for a funeral or memorial service.
The Brookside Columbarium has become a popular choice for urn burials as prices have become more favorable than traditional methods.
The original plot of ground set apart for Brookside contained only six acres and was largely taken up in a very few years. The trustees saw the necessity of enlarging the grounds, and purchased 19 acres lying on the west side of Engle Street, opposite the original site, and extending westerly to the line of the Northern Railroad, and from the north line of the original cemetery grounds southwest across the ravine and brook to the grounds of Englewood Hospital. The hospital trustees however, fearing that the close proximity of the cemetery might have a depressing effect on the hospital patients, began to discuss the possibility of securing a strip of land from the cemetery trustees, which resulted in the sale to the hospital trustees of a strip 100 feet in width, running from Engle Street to the hospital.
