Planning a memorial service is especially difficult in a time of sadness and profound loss. Since it is not something many people think about often, coming up with location ideas for a memorial service can be challenging. Danada House is recognized as an outstanding venue for significant events. Its position on the 780-acre Forest Preserve District of DuPage County provides a stunning natural backdrop for these occasions.
Nature and history create a stage upon which to produce a lasting memorial. Danada House marries the new and the old by offering the latest in technology as well as a storied past. A series of rooms once lived in and used by Ada and Daniel F. Rice to entertain are now home to one of the most requested venues for memorial services in DuPage County.
In 1939, the couple built the white brick, 19-room home. These rooms have history and respect built into them as the couple was well-known in Chicago and throughout the State for their contribution to Illinois business as well as their tireless philanthropic efforts. Today, in addition to their name remaining on many other sites around Chicago, their foundation still exists and provides assistance to needy children and families.
