| The Union Cemetery Association was founded in 1929 by the Village of Olmsted Falls, the Village of Westview and Olmsted Township. Each community selected one representative and agreed to contribute equally to secure maintenance and upkeep of an existing cemetery in the Village of Olmsted Falls. In 1970 the Village of Olmsted Falls and the Village of Westview merged to become the City of Olmsted Falls. The Old Chestnut Grove Cemetery is located on Chestnut Grove Drive in Olmsted Falls and the New Chestnut Grove Cemetery is located on Lewis Road, north of Bagley. The Union Cemetery Association operates under authority granted by the Ohio Revised Code Section 759. The annual meeting is held on the first Tuesday in May at Olmsted Falls City Hall. Quarterly working meetings are held in January, April, July and October. The Cemetery Board of Trustees set policy, pays bills, authorize work, maintain and operate both cemeteries. Operating revenues for the Cemeteries are secured by a 2/10th-mill levy on all real estate property in Olmsted Falls and Olmsted Township, as well as the sales of plots and the internments therein. A copy of the Chestnut Grove Cemetery Policies and Procedures is available upon request. Please contact Angi Mancini at 440-235-1400 to request this information.
