Welcome to Historic
Woodlawn Cemetery

Autumn is a dazzling show of brilliant color within the gates of Toledo's Historic Woodlawn Cemetery. More than 300 varieties of stately, mature trees can be found in this nationally recognized arboretum. Celebrating more than 130 years of service, the cemetery still includes 50 acres of undeveloped land and continues to be an active cemetery with more than ample space for its next 130 years.

Founded in 1876, the development of Woodlawn Cemetery paralleled the growth of Toledo for much of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Although Woodlawn was considered an outstanding example of the "rural cemetery movement" when it's gates first opened, the city's expansion gradually transformed it into a quiet natural retreat well within the city limits.

Woodlawn also contains many architectural landmarks including the area's most extensive collection of private mausoleums, which are part of the rich history that attracts genealogists and history buffs to the cemetery.

We welcome you to our website. Whether your interest is local history, architecture, genealogy or nature, you will find a wealth of information here. The site is also a guide to the cemetery's products, services and policies.
