Oakwood Cemetery Chapel

Oakwood Cemetery Chapel is a brick chapel building in Allegan, Michigan, featuring Gothic-inspired windows and architectural details. The structure includes a hipped roof with a covered entrance area and contains office spaces, a crypt section, and a ceremonial room for services.

The chapel was designed in 1920 by architect E. Haines as part of the cemetery's development. It earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, marking its importance as a local historic structure.

The chapel serves as a quiet place where the community gathers to remember those who shaped the town's past. It remains an active space for memorial services that connect visitors to the area's local figures.

The chapel is accessible to visitors and the cemetery grounds are open during daylight hours for walking and reflection. Contact the Department of Public Works if you need information about the building or burial services available.

The chapel combines practical functions rarely seen together in a single building, with office spaces, burial crypts, and a ceremonial hall all under one roof. This layered design reveals how memorial spaces operated as complete facilities during the early 1900s.
