Southern District

The Southern District, situated just south of Stewart Street beside the University of Dayton, boasts a landscape marked by young trees and memorials in a spectrum of colors, embodying a modern aesthetic. Although the area is commonly linked with traditional casket burials, it also offers a broad selection of cremation solutions, including the possibility of cremation interments within existing spaces.

Historic District

The Historic District is among the most venerable sections of our grounds. It is the final resting place for many of Dayton’s historic luminaries. Here, the foliage is lush with maturity, and the majestic monuments invite a step back into a bygone era. Being in this district is akin to walking through history itself. Woodland is dedicated to preserving its Victorian charm through meticulous standards, favoring shades of grey and pink granite and sometimes imposing specific monument styles to maintain its authentic character. Space in this district is distinctive and limited, with the type of memorialization dependent on the exact location. While traditionally associated with casket burials, please be aware that cremation interments are also respectfully accommodated within these historic confines.

Community Mausoleum

Constructed in 1969, this mausoleum presents a dignified resting place, featuring both single and double crypts with marble fronts designed to accommodate caskets, as well as provisions for the interment of cremated remains within these crypts. In addition, the architectural blueprint thoughtfully incorporates both marble and glass-fronted niches tailored for urns, ensuring a respectful and permanent homage to the departed. The facility is engineered for comfort, offering a climate-controlled environment that enhances visitor experience. Its single-floor layout facilitates effortless navigation, inviting guests to explore and appreciate the artistic legacy contained within. Notably, the mausoleum houses an exquisite collection of 12 stained glass windows crafted by the renowned Willet Studios of Philadelphia, alongside the majestic Parsifal mosaic and a striking Bronze wall, both of which contribute to the solemn beauty of this serene final resting place. Limited availability for casket entombment but a number of beautiful bronze and glass front columbaria have recently been installed.
