Woodlawn Cemetery & Arboretum

Woodlawn Cemetery is one of Northwest Ohio's most naturally beautiful properties and, based on its variety of trees and shrubbery, qualifies as the area's largest arboretum. The Board of Trustees is devoted to continuing improvements to enhance the appearance of the cemetery and, as such, encourages the placement of flowers and plantings.

Gravesite Service and Special Care
Property owners at Woodlawn may contract with the cemetery annually for special care for their property through Woodlawn's Service & Care Program. Regular mowing and trimming is included in the basic price of the property. The Service & Care Program covers the maintenance of added flowers, trees, shrubbery, or other seasonal plantings. Lot owners may also order flower placements for holidays or other special days through this program.

Floral Placement Program
Through our convenient Floral Placement Program, for Memorial Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day we will arrange for placement of a beautiful bouquet.  You can express your love and remembrance even when time, distance or life’s obligations keep you away.

Permanent In-Ground Vases:
For your convenience we offer a selection of five beautiful vases that may be permanentally installed – ready and waiting for the floral memorials you bring, whenever you bring them.

Place an order today or for more information call (419) 472-2186. For how you can add a Permanent Ground Vase for your loved one ask to speak to our Family Advisors.
