It’s that time of year again when the Bronx Times staff presents a wealth of
data gathered throughout the previous year in the Bronx Stats. This publication
contains information about our borough that both a recently arrived
resident or an old-timer alike would fi nd interesting.
In this issue we focus on The Woodlawn Cemetery and Conservancy.
Serving over 3,000 families each year, the 400 acre Woodlawn Cemetery is an
active cemetery with new developments and provides a full line of products and
services including private & community mausoleums, cremation service as well
as in ground burial options.
Designated a National Historic Landmark in 2011, the historic site is known
for the celebrated fi gures at rest, signifi cant works of architecture and the fi nest
collection of memorial art in the nation.
Woodlawn was established in 1863 as a non-sectarian cemetery serving people
of all cultures, religions, races and economic groups.
In 2017 Woodlawn was designated as a Level II Arboretum and features more
than 140 unique species of trees, each tree labeled and mapped for easy identifi -
cation.
Many of the “Builders of the Bronx” are memorialized at Woodlawn including
Louis Haffen, the fi rst Borough President, Louis Risse, designer of the Grand
Concourse and Robert Moses who developed much of 20th century New York.
Internationally known entertainers Celia Cruz, Duke Ellington and Miles Davis
are in Woodlawn’s care as well as author Herman Melville, suffragist Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, publisher Joseph Pulitzer and retailer JC Penney.
Outstanding monuments include the memorial to Isidor and Ida Straus who
lost their lives aboard the Titanic, the elaborate mausoleum for members of the
Belmont family and the Egyptian tomb of dime store magnate F.W. Woolworth.
The staff of the Bronx Times hopes you enjoy this year’s edition of Bronx
Stats.
