Woodlawn Cemetery
A peaceful resting place cared for by the Ferndale community for generations.
Rooted in Community

Our Story
The history of Woodlawn reflects the families and community who have cared for it over time.
Early Origins
Local residents donated the original land and helped create what would become Woodlawn Cemetery.
Community Stewardship
Responsibility for the cemetery moved between the City of Ferndale and a local association as community needs changed, keeping the grounds under local care.
A United Resting Place
In the 1990s, remains from the former Ferndale Catholic Cemetery were respectfully moved to Woodlawn, where a memorial now honors them.
Today
Woodlawn is maintained by Whatcom County Cemetery District No. 6, which oversees the care of the grounds and records.
Honoring the Catholic Community
Woodlawn is home to the relocated remains from the historic Ferndale Catholic Cemetery. A dedicated memorial on the grounds preserves their story and recognizes the families who are part of that heritage.
