WOODLAND CEMETERY

Established: 1853
Acres: 60
Official Website
Bella Morte Rating: 1 Tombstone
Woodland Cemetery was dedicated on 14 June, 1853. The cemetery was designed by New York landscape gardener Howard Daniels who wished to achieve the effect of a rural graveyard. Woodland occupies twenty acres in downtown Cleveland with entrances on Quincy and Woodland Avenue. Unfortunately, the cemetery has fallen prey to vandals who have left some of the monuments in a sad state.
The graveyard is the final resting place for Amialea Miller, the Gypsy Queen, who died in 1961 at the age of 74. Her husband, Steve Miller, the Gypsy King, rests in peace just beside her. Needless to say, the graves are said to be protected by powerful magic. If you stop by for a visit, do so with reverence.
While possessing a surprising sense of tranquility (given its urban location) and a few striking monuments, the cemetery isn't worth travelling any great distance to see.
NOTE: Recent years have shown the cemetery to be on its way to “recovery” as the Woodland Cemetery Foundation has taken the cause to its heart. Good news for this formerly-desolate burying ground!
