Garden of Our Mother (Section 130)

Our newest community garden is Garden of Our Mother, a dedicated place for those of the Catholic faith.  Opened and blessed in early 2025, Garden of Our Mother  builds on Green Lawn's legacy of welcoming and serving persons of all faiths.

Garden of Our Mother will serve a large and diverse Catholic community in central Ohio.  Belonging without judgement is a fundamental human need and Garden of Our Mother builds upon Green Lawn Cemetery's tradition of warmly serving people from all faiths and all walks of life with respect, dignity, and openness.

This adds to our other faith community gardens such as our Jewish sections and Greek Orthodox section.

LGBTQ+ Community Garden (Section 129)

Green Lawn Cemetery is pleased to announce the opening of a new LGBTQ+ Community Garden  – an  innovative new section where the LGBTQ+ community is warmly welcomed, lives are celebrated, and inspiring memorials are encouraged.

The garden represents a continuum of care for the LGBTQ+ Community and a dedicated place where generations of LGBTQ+ persons, friends, and family can be remembered and celebrated.

Inspired by "Gay Corner" in Congressional Cemetery (Washington D.C), Green Lawn's LGBTQ+ Community Garden is believed to be second such dedicated garden in the country for the LGBTQ+ community.  It has over 500 burial spaces and soon two columbaria with niches for cremation urns. 

The section will also eventually have a central art feature that the LGBTQ+ community will help choose.

Rest assured, Green Lawn's staff is fully committed and trained to welcome and serve everyone with warmth, sensitivity and professionalism.  All are welcome here!
