Union Cemetery Association Located in Columbus, OH, our historic cemetery is an oasis that has been offering a peaceful and respectful setting as a final resting-place since 1806.

For over 200 years, Union Cemetery has been offering diverse, personal and dignified professional burial services in central Ohio. From traditional burials to a scattering garden for cremains to mausoleum space, we offer you and your family a variety of options at reasonable fees with exceptional service.

ou can respectfully memorialize your family members in a environment that encourages quiet reflection and peace of mind.

Just a friendly reminder for visitors this weekend. The speed limit in the cemetery is 15 mph and we have put up temporary stops signs in some of the busy intersections just use extreme caution while visiting. This is our busiest time of the year for visitors.
I also want to remind everyone that in the new cemetery the water is still down. We had a water break under the roadway.
There is water available at the main office with buckets if needed. I know this is a big inconvenience for everyone.
I promise we are working on getting it repaired.
Sincerely

Just a reminder that all artificial decorations, live wreaths, grave blankets, mementos, any sentimental items that you have on your loved one's grave need to be removed by March 1, 2026. We will begin our spring cleanup on Monday March9, 2026. I strongly encourage you to come out this weekend and get your stuff. We cannot be held responsible for any missed items after March 9, 2026 when we begin our pickup.

Items other than artificial flowers and live wreaths or grave blankets will be pulled and placed in a separate area so if you did not have them removed you will be able to come check our location for your items.

All items will remain in storage area for a period of 4 weeks after that they will be discarded.

Mausoleum items being removed will consist of Christmas flowers or any decor reflecting Christmas or any past holidays. We ask that you limit to one flower or item per person/crypt/niche to allow other family members opportunity to place items on tables.

I apologize in advance for any inconvenience that may occur. But we have to abide by the rules and regulations of the cemetery.

We have signs at the gate indicated the times allowed for decorations.

Sincerely,

Jimmie J. Blevins
