About Oakland Cemetery
Oakland Cemetery opened for interments in 1891 and sits on 47 acres approximately three miles from downtown Dallas. It is home to graves of notable Dallas citizens and veterans, including civil war veterans. The cemetery was originally planned on a forest and lawn theme with gently curving lanes and trees across 60 acres. Today, Oakland Cemetery is managed by the Oakland Cemetery Lot Owners Association Inc., a 501(c)(13) private operating foundation dedicated to restoration and maintenance. The cemetery's mission is to restore and preserve its historic artifacts—gravestones, burial plots, mausoleums, funerary art and architecture—which collectively form the historic record of Dallas residents and their impact on the city's cultural landscape. In September 2021, the cemetery was included in the Fair Park and South Dallas neighborhoods Cultural District designation from the Texas Commission for the Arts.
