WMBD/WYZZ TV – PEORIA — Giving loved ones a place to rest for eternity can be a way of getting closure for those left behind to mourn, and now Peoria is giving residents the same opportunity with their pets.
Deep inside the property of Springdale Cemetery, you’ll find three acres of land called Whispering Woods. Saturday morning, Springdale Cemetery officials along with the Peoria Zoo held a dedication ceremony.
They unveiled two memorials, one in honor of Boomer and Leah, lions from the Peoria Zoo who’ve passed away. The second memorial honors Bill Rutherford and his dog Frosty. Rutherford was responsible for opening the Wildlife Prairie State Park, along with his faithful companion Frosty.
