BOTZUM CEMETERY
Botzum Cemetery is a small cemetery located at the corner of Bath and Yellow Creek roads. Botzum was named for the prominent family and a nearby unincorporated village in the late 1800’s. The village was centered at the corner of Bath and Riverview Roads. Botzum is believed to have contained 150-175 graves at one time. Over the years, sandstone tombstones eroded due to weather and wandering livestock pushed over many stones and trampled them into the ground. Today, there are no records of who is buried here and only a handful remain identifiable.
CHESTNUT HILL CEMETERY
Located at 2613 Sackett Ave; between State Roads and Northampton Roads. The concept for this cemetery was created by Carl F Graefe, who spent several years in planning before construction began in 1926. An ecologist, Mr Graefe was focused on the preservation of natural resources for the enjoyment of all. The cemetery is named for the native chestnut trees that formerly grew on the seven hills of the former Babb Farm. The beauty of this cemetery draws visits from naturalists, artists, horticulturalists, and photographers as well as those who come to visit the final resting places of friends and family.
HARRINGTON CEMETERY
Harrington Cemetery, located at 3333 State Road, was established in the early 1800’s and is the final resting place of many of the City of Cuyahoga Falls’ early founders and settlers. Harrington Cemetery does not have any gravesites available.
NORTHAMPTON CEMETERY
Located in a quiet residential area, Northampton Cemetery is located at 1014 West Bath Road. Established in the early 1800’s, many of the early founders and settlers of this part of the city are buried here. Northampton Cemetery has a limited number of full size graves still available.
OAKWOOD CEMETERY
Located at 2420 Oakwood Drive, Oakwood is well known for its 23 acres of natural beauty, particularly the magnificent rhododendrons in the spring. The cemetery was established in 1834 and many of the city’s founders and early settlers are buried there. The cemetery has been sold out of full size graves, but occasionally is able to buy back graves for resale. There are a limited amount of cremation only graves currently available. If you would like information on how to be placed on a waiting list for a full size grave, or to purchase a cremation grave, please contact the Buildings and Grounds department.
Oakwood also houses the original graves that were once located at Cook and Myrtle Streets during 1809-1834.
