Clean, Reclaim, Proclaim!
Mount Lawn Cemetery has served the community since its establishment, becoming a resting place for generations and a symbol of remembrance and respect. Illegal trash dumping is a threat along the boundaries of the grounds. Clean-Up Days allow citizens to take action. With your support, we can honor those who came before us and make the cemetery a peaceful and respectful place. We also preserve the history by honoring those buried at Mount Lawn by sharing their story and connecting new generations with our leaders and pioneers of yesteryear.

You can support by donating cleaning supplies!

Established over a century ago, October 2nd 2025 marked the 100th anniversary of Mount Lawn Cemetery’s first burial, and since that time Mount Lawn has been a resting place for generations of families.
Evelyn McFall Street, who lived in Darby Township, was just 21 years old when she passed away from a tragic illness. Evelyn’s headstone notes that she is the first interment. If you visit you can leave her flowers.
Today Mount Lawn’s grounds are home to a wide array of notable figures, such as several female veterans from WWII Six Triple Eight Central Postal Battalion. This diversity truly reflects the community’s history. The cemetery is a peaceful site for remembrance and reflection. And our community volunteers are needed to help us keep it clean and safe for present day and future generations to come.
Friends of Mount Lawn is working to create events that celebrate and support Mount Lawn’s history. If you are a history buff please reach out to helpmt.lawn@ gmail.com.
