Mausoleums at
Historic Woodlawn
Mausoleum entombment was once reserved for royalty. The pyramids were built to house the remains of pharaohs and their families. Kings and queens of England are buried within the structure of Westminster Abbey.
In America, many leaders and more than half of our presidents are entombed in mausoleums. Arlington National Cemetery's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a mausoleum.
Part of Woodlawn's unique charm are the many family mausoleums that grace its grounds. These beautiful structures, built primarily in the late 19th and early 20th century, represent many of the families responsible for Toledo's growth and history.
Now your family has two ways to join the great mausoleum tradition at Historic Woodlawn Cemetery: by purchasing space in our beautiful new Lakeside Mausoleum or by commissioning your own private, family mausoleum.
Lakeside Mausoleum
Situated on a picturesque knoll overlooking the east lake, Lakeside
Mausoleum is now a reality. The strong, monolithic design of Woodlawn's first
public mausoleum is unique in Northwest Ohio. Its small size and the use of fluted
columns, Italian marble and granite give the structure the look and feel of the
historic family mausoleums that are spotted throughout the cemetery.
Entombment in Woodlawn's first public mausoleum is remarkably affordable. It is typically comparable to or lower in price than conventional ground burial.
And, it offers a clean, dry place for visitors in every season.
176 casket crypts and 32 cremation niches are now available for immediate use or on a pre-need
basis. Call the cemetery office at 419-472-2186, for more information.
