Green Lawn Cemetery

I had my wedding here 10/28/2023 and I absolutely had an amazing wedding . The men that helped us with everything including getting us extra tables and stuff was Matt and Ralph and there were absolutely amazing!!! I love Halloween more then anyone you could ever know and I always wanted a cemetery wedding and I picked greenlawn because of its beauty and the folks that work there are the best ❤❤❤ as you can see by the pictures it was absolutely amazing 😻

Went there for a day is The Day of the Dead (el Día de Muertos or el Día de los Muertos) celebration. Really fun, celebration. Beautiful tributes to love ones lost set up in the mausoleum and in some of the green spaces.

On behalf of the family of Lorraine Collier, we like to thank the staff of Greenlawn for the care and attention we received during the loss of our loved one.

At a time of loss of a loved one it difficult to do the tasks required to honor that loved one. When I went Greenlawn cemetery to meet with your staff, they explained what was needed to prepare for the burial. We visited the site, explained how procession will take place to arrive at the grave site. Everything went as planned and our family impressed how well it went.
My father. Grandparents, aunts and Uncles and now our mother are at rest at Greenlawn.

Amanda and Sandra did a stellar job in assisting us in designing my mom's headstone. Amanda did a great job in guiding the family on the day of the burial. The graveside service went seamlessly.

Loosing a soul mate, is very difficult. It's even more difficult when that final resting place is 100 miles from your home. Green Lawn Cemetery was in regular communication with me during the entire process making this easy and worry-free. When a scheduling conflict almost through a wrench in our plans, Green Lawn Cemetery created a solution. My family and friends were very pleased with the professionalism and sensitivity the entire staff took during this difficult time.I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing these services.

As a history nerd, I find Greenlawn to be an amazing place to truly study American history. From the old monuments to even the simplest headstones. These browns hold many famous and even a few notorious individuals. The wolf sculpture that I pictured here pays homage to the original settlers of America long before America was even America.

Beautiful cemetery!! Landscape is beautiful the whole place is just breathtaking. So many sights to see definitely need a whole day here I only was here an hour and that was not enough time so pretty will definitely be back !! Great job keeping everything looking nice !!

Green Lawn Cemetery is the resting place of our very own WWI Metal Of Honor Fighter Ace Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker. Not only is it home to Eddie but my Grandparents as well. If you want a piece of humble pie walk through Green Lawn, come to peace with death and let it be a reminder that when your forgotten you truly die. Let's never forget those who came before us, RIP everyone!

While enjoying the grounds I had the pleasure of coming upon a monument for a young boy named Georgie Blount, it is an amazing piece of history and artwork. I found the nearby placard to be very informative and greatly appreciate the Greenlawn cemetery staff For providing that for our pleasure. While near the monument I had a chance to speak with a Green Lawn Cemetery police officer who gave me a more in-depth history of young Georgie, and no the other remarkable areas of the cemetery that I should visit

Greenlawn was established in the mid-1800's with a park-like concept. It is so peaceful and it is filled with history. The architecture of so many mausolems is remarkable. The cemetery, roads and graves iare extremely well maintained and the staff volunteers such as Matt Wolf and Exectutive Director, Randy Rogers are so knowledgeable and dedicated to this second largest cemetery in Ohio. There are over 6000 military graves alone. Be sure to get a map or download one so you can find your way. They are working hard to use best practices to restore and clean old headstone in a safe manner. They have several events so following thei fb page and signing up for their newsletter is a great way to find out what's happening and how to sign up. There are restrooms inside the office but be sure to check hours.

Gary Baker, Cemetery Superintendent and Jay were very thoughtful, informative and helpful throughout my interactions with them. Gary kept in contact via texts, emails and personal notes. Wonderful communication with all staff. Thank you!

What a beautiful place of Ohio history! Each section of the cemetery has it’s own story. Majestic trees over 200-years old give shade to loved ones final resting spots. Very kind and caring staff are sensitive to the grieving families. The Arborist Society and Audubon Society speak highly of Green Lawn Cemetery where tress and birds congregate within the property. 80 more acres have been added to the cemetery. Our family loved ones are going to be buried in the military section set aside for those who served our country. We highly recommend Green Lawn for those looking for a cemetery that has staff who helps families during their grieving.

I had a great experience with greenlawn.Was very impressed by the different things they have been working on.
I met with a gentleman name J.R. I was making arrangements for my sisters burial.He had taken a picture of her lot and gave that to me also we went out to view.We was having a grave side service.
He had a tent with chairs.Which he had told us also we lined up in parlor to make sure everyone new how to get there.
Everyone at the office was so nice.They were very helpful.
When we arrived at the cemetery the day of they had workers blowing leaves in different areas to clean the cemetery up. You can see a big improvement since I was there in may.Thank you Greenlawn we are gonna be proud again.

JR and his staff are great people and professional. There is a lot going on all the time there since it is such a large and popular place in the city. Despite all of this, I was treated with dignity and understanding during the whole process of laying my father to rest. JR went the extra step of providing all the details after a follow-up check on the headstone. I recommend this cemetery for its historical scene as well as its practicality and beauty.

Green Lawn Cemetery is embedded in Columbus, Ohio and African American history. Over two generations of my family and friends are buried at the cemetery. Green Lawn is truly a historic and beautiful cemetery. I have visited the cemetery to pay my respects to loved ones for as long as I can remember. My experiences working with Green Lawn staff have always been great! It is a cemetery that I.highly recommend!

Such a beautiful and peaceful place, very old plots, lots of history and amazing architecture. You will want to spend a lot of time here, so plan on going in early! We wandered around for an hour and a half before we realized they were going to close the gates soon! Officers on site are so helpful, and had so much information about the grounds. You can tell he loves the place and his job! We will be back again soon to continue our adventure. Be respectful!!

I’ve always had a great experience when dealing with Greenlawn. They are caring and efficient

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this cemetery one day and we were quite moved by the sheer size of this cemetery, and the military section was impressive and we took the time to appreciate all the lives given.
The grounds seemed well kept and reading all the history of the state was very cool. We will visit again

Don't let the location fool you, the history at this cemetery is amazing! Every time I visit this cemetery I learn something new about it's history. I bet when it first was established that the surrounding area was much better than now.
