Woodlawn Cemetery offers many options for interment, all of which are dignified and respectful.
Ground Burial
 The space for ground burial is called a plot. The size of the plot can vary from an individual space to a family estate. A family custom estate is traditionally set apart from other plots and typically surrounded by shrubs or other flora, creating a unique setting for future generations to visit. |
Mausoleums
 Some of the most well known monuments in history are mausoleums, which contain concrete or stone crypts to store the caskets. Famous above-ground entombment sites include the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Great Pyramids, the Taj Mahal, Westminster Abbey and the Tomb of Christ.
Mausoleums offer an enduring peace of mind, preserving the memory, sanctity and integrity of your loved ones. A mausoleum crypt offers secure protection and remains clean and completely dry. The burial containers entombed do not come in contact with the earth.
Private mausoleums offer personalization and signify perseverance, prestige and community involvement. Family estate (private) mausoleums lend dignity and honor to the family name with a distinct and separate structure, reserved for private remembrance and reflection.

Cremation Memorialization
 Cremated remains are often placed in an urn, which can be placed in a mausoleum niche or a wall niche called a columbarium. The urn may also be buried in a family burial space or urn garden where a marker is used to memorialize the site. A relatively new alternative to a memorial urn is a cremation garden. Within a cremation garden, there are a variety of options for memorialization. |
Vaults
 These are the outside containers into which the casket is placed. Burial vaults are designed to protect the casket and may be made of a variety of materials including concrete, stainless steel, galvanized steel, copper, bronze, plastic or fiberglass. A grave liner is a lightweight version of a vault which simply keeps the grave surface from sinking in. Outer burial containers are required in our cemetery. |
Markers and Upright Monuments
 Another element of ground burial is the memorial marker, the most visible sign of the memorialization process. Markers are made of either bronze or granite; bronze memorials highlight the enduring beauty of semiprecious metals, while granite markers offer a variety of colors. |
 The size of the marker or monument can range from individual to a large custom design. Custom designs, tailored to individual needs, are available in both types of memorials. Traditional designs and carvings include dogwood, floral and rose. Meaningful emblems can adorn the monument, such as a cross, Bible, an association or military emblem, or a depiction of two hands clasped together praying. |
Cemetery Services
 Graveside services are an appropriate way to say final goodbyes to a loved one. The type of service can vary depending upon religious affiliation and personal preference. Our cemetery will make every effort to accommodate special requests and meet the special needs of the your family. |
