Honoring Veterans at Oakwood
Since 1945, Oakwood Cemetery has provided veterans of Cuyahoga Falls with free grave plots in its military section. It came to the attention of City Hall that spouses were not permitted to be buried with their military partner, per city ordinance. In September 2015, Mayor Don Walters introduced legislation to ensure that loved ones can be laid to rest together. This policy is aligned with national veterans’ cemeteries where civilians may be buried where burial plans have been made for their veteran spouses. The markers are shared between partners.
Ladies Cemetery Association of Oakwood Chapel
The Ladies Cemetery Association of Cuyahoga Falls, founded in 1888, is one of the finest and oldest organizations in Cuyahoga Falls today. The turn-of-the-century Chapel in Oakwood Cemetery was dedicated July 2, 1898, to all faiths as a service to our community and boasts 12 magnificent stained glass windows, donated by several early Falls families and social organizations.
The mission of the Ladies Cemetery Association is to increase awareness of the Chapel and to maintain, repair, and restore the Chapel for future generations.
