Roselawn Cemetery Association
Public records show a registered, tax-exempt organization in good standing.
What it says it does
THE CEMETERY IS A NON-PROFIT ASSOCIATION GOVERNED BY LOT OWNERS. ROSELAWN'S FOUNDERS REALIZED THAT A CEMETERY ORGANIZED THAT WAY WOULD PUT ITS STRONGEST EMPHASIS ON EXCELLENCE IN OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE. MANAGEMENT OF THE CEMETERY'S FINANCES HAS BEEN PRUDENT AND CAREFUL, EVER MINDFUL OF THE COMMITMENT TO QUALITY PERPETUAL CARE. AS A RESULT, ROSELAWN IS ONE OF THE MOST FINANCIALLY SOUND CEMETERIES IN THIS AREA. WE ALSO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO MEET SPECIFIC NEEDS AND WISHES, TO OUTLINE CHOICES AND MAKE ALL AVAILABLE OPTIONS CLEAR AND UNDERSTANDABLE. AND ROSELAWN IS NON-DENOMINATIONAL, NON-SECTARIAN AND OPEN TO ALL.
