Description

Cedarwood Cemetery is located on Main Street in Roanoke, Randolph County, Alabama, and is also known as Old Roanoke Cemetery and Roanoke City Cemetery. The grounds occupy the former site of Roanoke Methodist Church and were given the name Cedarwood by the local Civic Club in 1911. A county cemetery survey documents more than 2,600 graves and identifies Amanday R. Taylor (1854–1855) as the earliest known interment. The cemetery remains associated with Roanoke’s civic and family history, with recorded burials spanning multiple generations and sections identified as A through F. An indexed transcription includes grave-marker information and family relationships, although online burial coverage is not complete. The City of Roanoke has advertised grounds-maintenance work for the cemetery, while recent local reporting indicates that available burial space is becoming limited.
