| 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.
