Encyclopedia: Woodlawn Cemetery (1380 words)
Located in The Bronx, Woodlawn Cemetery is one of the largest cemeteries in New York City.
Opened in 1863, at a time when The Bronx was still considered as being out in "the country." Built on gentle, rolling hills, its tree-lined roads provide a beautiful setting in today's bustling city.
In 1967, what is generally believed to be the first community mausoleum on the East Coast of the United States was built at Woodlawn.
