Over the years, Oakland Cemetery has received many generous donations from community members as well as people who moved away but still call Warsaw, Illinois home.  It is because of their generosity that the Oakland Cemetery Board of Directors is able to ensure the proper upkeep of the cemetery.  Not only do these funds provide for the mowing, raking, tree trimming and snow removal, these funds also provide for the perpetual care of monuments and cemetery buildings, as well as special cemetery projects like the American Flag project.

Donations come in all shapes and sizes.  One way to support the Oakland Cemetery is through a planned giving opportunity.
