Woodlawn Memorial Park (Colma, California)
Woodlawn Memorial Park, also known as the Masonic Burial Ground, is a cemetery located at 1000 El Camino Real in Colma, California. It was established in 1905. History

The Masonic Grand Lodge of California laid the cornerstone for the cemetery during a ceremony held on October 29, 1904 at a  site formerly used as the Seven Mile House on the stagecoach route linking San Francisco and San Jose. The entrance to the cemetery is marked by two prominent arches; T. Paterson Ross was responsible for designing the original entry arch, which was built with blue granite blocks quarried from Raymond, California. A second arch was added in the 1930s alongside administrative offices, a columbarium, mausoleum, and chapel, designed by William G. Merchant and Bernard Maybeck. When the former Masonic Cemetery in San Francisco closed, approximately 40,000 remains were moved to this cemetery in a project that spanned many years. The Masonic Cemetery Association erected a memorial pillar in April 1933 to honor those moved. Notable burials
