What The Woodlawn Cemetery does
Mission
As an active cemetery and an important cultural institution, woodlawn memorializes the deceased in thoughtful and dignified ways, provides sensitive and compassionate services to the bereaved; and protects, preserves and enhances the splendor of its natural beauty.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Woodlawn cemetery, a national historic landmark and 400 acre garden cemetery, provides burial, entombment, cremation, and memorialization services to more than 3,000 families annually. Woodlawn preserves and cares for more than 310,000 individuals memorialized on its grounds, including over 1,300 private mausoleums, community mausoleums, historic monuments, and the woolworth chapel. As a level ii arboretum with more than 6,500 cataloged trees, woodlawn maintains its landscape, architecture, and cultural resources for lot owners, families, visitors, and future generations.
The program described on its FY2025 Form 990.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $289M to $248M (−14%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
