Woodlawn Cemetery, National Historic Landmark Cemetery in Woodlawn Heights, The Bronx, United States.
The 400-acre cemetery contains tree-lined roads leading to hundreds of memorials, monuments, and mausoleums designed by notable American architects.
Established in 1863 during the Civil War, the cemetery became part of New York City in 1874 when the Bronx territory was annexed from Yonkers.
The grounds function as an outdoor art gallery displaying funerary sculptures, architectural styles, and monuments representing different periods of American design.
Located at 4199 Webster Avenue, the cemetery provides traditional burial plots, mausoleum spaces, and cremation services through its on-site facility.
Seven Commonwealth war graves mark the resting places of British and Canadian service members from both World Wars within the cemetery grounds.
