"Chardon
Road Cemetary – The City is responsible for its care. It was
originally a Twp. cemetery and when the city was incorporated, they took
over the care for this. The Chardon Road Cemetery is located next to
Local Tavern (Orchard Drive) in Willoughby Hills. Willoughby Hills
shares zip code 44092 with Wickliffe, but the cemetery is actually
located in Willoughby Hills, not Wickliffe.
The other 2 cemetaries that the City maintains are:
Maple Grove Cemetary (next door to Maple Grove Grange)
SOM Center Cemetary (located on the North side of I-90 westbound exit ramp).
All of these cemetaries are closed to new burials by law."
