Welcome
Welcome to Oakwood Cemeteries of Rochester, Minnesota and thank you for considering Oakwood Cemeteries as a final resting place for yourself or your loved one.
Oakwood Cemeteries are a place of tradition and history, yet provide for contemporary needs of today's Rochester-area community.
Oakwood Cemetery began as a lot owner governed setting for the interment of the young town's residents in 1863, and burial lots remain available in this gated, attractive central-city location. Oakwood Cemetery also offers columbarium niches for permanent, public placement of cinerary urns.
Oakwood East Cemetery, located just east of East Circle Drive on County Road 2, offers a more rural, open setting that includes one of the few areas in Minnesota adhering to Muslim traditions of burial. Oakwood East will have columbarium niches available soon.
Both locations are overseen by a lot-owners board of trustees pledged to carry a tradition of excellence forward into perpetual care.
