Caballero Rivero Woodlawn Park North Cemetery and Mausoleum
Caballero Rivero Woodlawn Park North Cemetery and Mausoleum, cemetery in Miami, Florida, United States
Caballero Rivero Woodlawn Park North Cemetery and Mausoleum is a cemetery with mausoleum in Miami sprawling across extensive grounds with maintained pathways, shade trees, and monuments of varying styles. The mausoleum is a large building with marble, stained glass windows, and decorative metal gates that occupies an entire city block.
Founded in 1913 by Thomas O. Wilson, William N. Urmey, and Clifton D. Benson, the site is one of Miami's oldest cemeteries. The mausoleum was built in 1926 by renowned designer McDonald Lovell, and the current name reflects acquisitions by Havana-based funeral companies Caballero in 1990 and Rivero in 1993.
The cemetery reflects the diverse traditions of Miami's communities, including customs from Cuba and other cultures visible in the various monuments and grave styles. Visitors can observe how different communities honor and remember their deceased in their own ways.
The cemetery is easily accessible from various parts of Miami with nearby parking and well-maintained pathways for visitors with different mobility needs. Staff assist visitors with arrangements and support memorial ceremonies or remembrance services.
The site holds 13 graves of British and New Zealand soldiers from World War II, including airmen and naval personnel, reflecting its international heritage. The grounds also introduced rare tropical trees such as the first schefflera and mahogany trees planted in the United States.
