Peaceful. Historic. Quiet.

Wonderful place to see the history of our city . Beautiful groomed and cared for, this place is very peaceful to visit ! The grounds are filled with many types of wild life, in any given day you will see deer, owls and a wild turkey or two.

My grandparents, aunt & a few other family members are buried here. So much wildlife lives in this cemetery from deer, to geese. I enjoy the fact that not only is the cemetery taking care of but so is the wildlife.

We are so pleased with the compassionate and professional service we received today with Carolyn. Of course it is a very difficult time and I highly recommend Woodland to help you manage through this. The price was almost 1/3 less than their closest (proximity) competitor and service was 200% better. Carolyn went above and beyond today and we will never forget her kindness and compassion.

I couldn't have found a better Cemetary and Crematorium. The staff go just above and beyond. It's incredible. Ask for Carolyn and you'll never have another worry. I honestly love everyone here, they're a gift! Couldn't be more grateful if I tried! That isn't even to mention the gorgeous property and the native deer, who you'll often witness following the other wildlife around. The experience couldn't have been better after such a difficult battle.

If you're in the area looking for nature around Springbank Park and Byron, and you don't mind a little bit of spooky vibes it's very interesting, peaceful and educational to visit this cemetery. It's beautiful and there are so many deer you think you're in Bambi. Staff are totally cool if you're wandering around so long as you're respectful of the mourning.

Unbelievably helpful. The funeral director here is amazing. We had hard times paying for moms funeral due to no will and other red tape fiascos. Mom thought donating body yo science would cover all costs. And they do if the remains are accepted which in her case was not an option. So i must pay 2000 dollars before anything can be done. But Carolyn was so great and patient with us. And i felt comfortable in the service because my grand parents are buried here as well. Many thx to Carolyn. Awesome job your doing.

So much wildlife and stunning grave stones.

I was absolutely shocked and appalled today when I visited my husband's grave. There has been no maintenance done, the grass is almost 2' high and no water turned on. As of May 19, I believe, indoor and outdoor maintenance was allowed to restart. Obviously, Woodland didn't get the memo. Absolutely disgraceful. Other cemeteries in the area have their properties maintained. This is likely one where workers were laid off to collect CERB and save the cemetery paying wages! There was an older couple in another part of the cemetery with a push mower, mowing around their loved one's plot!!!

Very satisfied with the staff and they go out of their way by far to support you during a difficult time.

unusually suspect

Beautiful old cemetery

Please strongly reconsider using this cemetery to bury your loved ones. It has been nothing but pure frustration dealing with the management during (and even before) the pandemic. Once they have your money, you can expect all the niceties to end. Rules are made "on the fly". This is a large park with plenty of space for social distancing and there is lots of sunlight during the summer months (no need to close at 7pm).

5 years ago I burried my mother. The service was excellent and appreciated. My wife and I decided to buy our plot.

Mary Pritchard

I have several friends and family here. I even found some from 1832 great shape well kept

Sharon Aldridge

Such a wonderful establishment. Very professional, down to earth and above all else extremely honest. They don't start at the high prices and work down until you say "yes", they start with their basic packages and work up. They never rush you and will go the extra 100 miles to accommodate your every wish. They will make suggestions that you hadn't thought of. Roula and Catherine have made my plans so easy and straight forward. And I don't know of any other cemetery in the City of London that has such beautiful deer which the staff take care of and feed from their own money. I have dealt with a few other cemeteries and funeral homes but have not found any to compare to Woodland.

Yet another frustrating experience with this institution showcasing their horrible service. They're real nice at the beginning, but once they get your money be prepared not only for downright indifference but sheer rudeness. The latest of many examples of no compassion and no rhyme nor reason to their policies is their visitation hours. They have been using the pandemic as an excuse to make up rules that benefit only themselves and are not based on any science or rules instituted by the government during the pandemic. The latest incident: throughout the entire interment of my late wife there, it has always been dawn to dusk for visitation. I arrived there exactly at 7 PM only to be bruskly told to turn around. When I asked what happened to dusk closure they did not know and said it was not their fault. When I asked if I at least could run in and lay flowers down quickly for what would have been today my late wife's and mine 33rd wedding anniversary, I was told no even though I was there at 7 PM. I don't blame the security guards: they were just doing their job. I blame this on the ongoing poor management of this organization that seems to have forgotten what business they are in and that customer service and compassion should be the hallmarks of how they operate. Based on other incidents as well my friends and I have experienced, it is obvious that this has been lost on them I rarely, if ever, write reviews but this is at least the 3rd time in the last 18 months that they hide behind the pandemic as an excuse for horrible and horrific service. My only regret in writing this review is that I can't give a 0 star rating. I am more than now willing to go out of my way to share with friends, family and members of my general and ethnic community why they should not do business with such a poorly run and uncaring organization like Woodland Cemetery. My sincere hope is two fold : that you don't have to endure what I have had to endure dealing with this institution and that you are aware of the implications of dealing with Woodland Cemetery in the long run.

Family sites not maintained well. Several weeks ago paid for engraving of year of Mothers passing . Still not done. Cavalier attitude of staff disappointing.
