The Oaklawn Memorial Park is a "relatively" young cemetery, having started in the late 1950's:
In 1958, the C.T. Bush family, looking to the future needs & desires of residents of Athens & Henderson County, carefully planned and brought into being the lovely Oaklawn Memorial Park.
The park started with just two gardens, and has now grown to 12 beautiful sections. For over 57 years, the care of the cemetery grounds, and of the families that have entrusted Oaklawn with the memorial care of their loved ones, has been a top priority.
In 2014, the Bush Family decided to approach the Autry Funeral Home Family on taking stewardship of the cemetery due to their longstanding friendship, knowledge of Perpetual Care Cemeteries and the distinct care that accompanies them.
