Collection: Linwood Cemetery - Dubuque
The Linwood Cemetery Association, founded in 1875 by a group of "Key City" pioneers, foresaw great growth of our community. Since then, Linwood Cemetery has served the burial needs of our community and surrounding areas with approximately 60,000+ interred to date. Also unique to Linwood, our Cemetery proudly honors Veterans in a very special way with Memorial Flags lining the main streets of the Cemetery displayed from Veterans Day through Independence Day. These Flags each have names and rank of the Soldiers, attached on each pole, in remembrance of their most honored sacrifice. In addition, the Cemetery features a Civil War Memorial section complete with a stunning central marker with cannons flanking the plot. The Linwood Cemetery Association is a non-profit organization and receives support from the State of Iowa through the Department of Insurance. We are always grateful for donations of support to keep the Cemetery and maintenance equipment in good order.
