Because they saw the need for suitable memorial property for discriminating families to enshrine their loved ones in a beautiful tropical garden, in 1913, Thomas O. Wilson, William N. Urmey and Clifton D. Benson established Woodlawn Park. They invested thousands of dollars importing rare tropical trees and shrubs, including the first schefflera (umbrella trees) and mahogany trees, to this country.

Woodlawn Park West:
In 1926, Woodlawn Park commissioned McDonald Lovell, a noted mausoleum architect, to design a mausoleum group for the park. The present building covers more than a city block, accented with marble, stained glass and hand-wrought bronze gates. In 1967, Woodlawn Park South opened to serve the families of the Kendall area. This new cemetery provides future generations with 68 acres of ground burial sites in carefully manicured gardens. In 1990, Woodlawn Park Funeral Home was constructed on the grounds of Woodlawn Park South.

Palms Woodlawn Funeral Home - Caballero Funeral Homes:
The Caballero family opened its first funeral home in downtown Havana, Cuba in 1857. The Caballero family tradition continued when Federico J.

As a result of his success, a second funeral home was established in Coral Gables in 1974. In 1990, the two Caballero funeral homes joined Woodlawn Park Cemeteries and Funeral Home.
