! IMPORTANT INFORMATION !! Please call ahead for an appointment. We are all volunteers except our groundsmen/caretakers. We have two men who mow and take care of the grounds in general. Caretakers cannot answer questions or find graves. Volunteers do this. We now have a grave finding fee of $35.
HELP SUPPORT WOODLAWNThanks to your continued support, the preservation of Woodlawn Cemetery’s heritage of splendor as well as its designation on the National Registry of Historic Places is secure. For the past ten
years, a pro-active, hardworking volunteer board of directors has rescued this historic site, developed a consistent lawn maintenance schedule, and conducted many restoration and improvement projects. Since 2016, positive attitudes and caring hearts helped achieve restoration,
one step at a time. We could not have done this without the support of our community and board members. However, we do need funds to operate and maintain this 42-acre site. If you have not visited recently, see what we have accomplished. You will be amazed. It truly is a memorial park as it was envisioned 100 years ago. We are hoping to raise $50,000 with our spring fund drive. The majority of this goes to lawn maintenance and building upkeep.
