NEW SECTION AND MAUSOLEUM
To meet the future needs of the Urbana community, Oak Dale Cemetery has a new 10-acre tract, which includes a new mausoleum. The mausoleum features an open-air chapel, 360 crypts (with some double crypts for couples, a feature not provided in the cemetery’s existing mausoleum), and 280 niches for urns.

To match the park-like appearance of the rest of the cemetery, the new section will be landscaped with trees, with the assistance of Urbana’s Shade Tree Commission, and winding driveways will be added. A driveway to the mausoleum already has been completed.

THE HISTORY OF OAK DALE CEMETERY
In 1856, the City of Urbana purchased a little over 25 acres of land for use as a cemetery. A dedication was held on July 19, 1856, and the cemetery, under the jurisdiction of seven appointed trustees, officially was opened for public use. Since 1903 the cemetery has been under the management of the Urbana City Council.

Initially christened "Greenwood", the name soon was changed to Oak Dale principally because of the luxuriant stand of magnificent oak trees on the grounds.

Prior to the creation of Oak Dale Cemetery, burials were made in what today is referred to as the "Old graveyard" located at the northeast corner of N. Kenton and E. Ward streets. Most bodies were re-interred at Oak Dale and the old cemetery was used as a pasture field and in more recent years as a playground.

MEMORIAL TREE PROGRAM
The City of Urbana is pleased to offer a memorial tree program for individuals or organizations desiring to create a lasting remembrance of a loved one, commemorate a special achievement, or honor a deserving person or organization through the planting of memorial trees at Oak Dale Cemetery, Melvin Miller Park, or other city parkland.  All memorial trees will be planted in the fall, and select tree species are available.  An application form about the program is available here: Memorial Tree Program Application Form.
