This Is A Cemetery

At Woodlawn Cemetery, we believe every life is worth loving and remembering—always. The words below express the heart of what we do and why we do it.

This poem reflects the care we extend to every family, the history we help preserve, and the comfort we strive to offer. It’s more than a resting place—it’s a testament to the lives that shaped us, and a promise to honor them for generations to come.

Lives are commemorated, deaths are recorded, families are reunited, memories are made tangible, and love is undisguised. This is a cemetery.


Communities accord respect, families bestow reverence, historians seek information and our heritage is thereby enriched.


Testimonies of devotion, pride and remembrance are carved in stone to pay warm tribute to accomplishments and to the life – not death– of a loved one. The cemetery is homeland for family memorials that are a sustaining source of comfort to the living.


A cemetery is a history of people, a perpetual record of yesterday and a sanctuary of peace and quiet today. A cemetery exists because every life is worth loving and remembering – always.
