Forest Cementry Associates

The Forest Cemetery Association, established in 1860 in Oskaloosa, Iowa, manages an 80-acre cemetery that includes 60 developed acres and 20 acres reserved for future use. Governed by a Board of Directors, it operates as a non-profit, providing perpetual care since 1925, which ensures the maintenance of the cemetery through a dedicated fund.

Offering both full burials and cremation interments, Forest Cemetery features distinct bronze and granite sections and designs memorials for the community. Additionally, the cemetery provides genealogy information and burial records upon request, further enriching its historical significance, particularly noted in its Civil War section, which includes commemorative cannons.
