Our story begins in 1879 on the banks of the Thames River in London, Ontario when a vestry committee founded Woodland Cemetery as a new burial ground to replace St. Paul’s Grove Cemetery. Originally a 56-acre property, Woodland has grown to just under 100 acres of beautiful and tranquil landscape, which currently accommodates over 50,000 burials.

Important Notice to Woodland Families

Out of concern for the safety of your family valuables and meaningful memorial items, we are encouraging you to remove any items of monetary or sentimental value located on your loves ones plot or within a niche. The winter season, combined with an increased level of cemetery thefts across Southwestern Ontario has increased the need for additional security for these items. 

We understand the importance of these items for your family and want to help keep them safe.

If your family presently has valuables within a loved ones niche, please consider contacting us for a guided niche inspection with a member of our staff, to assist you in removing any items. Please contact us for a time to meet with a Cemetery Director for assistance. 519-471-7450
