Resthaven Memory Gardens is a beautiful cemetery property located just outside Avon, Ohio. Lush shrubbery, plentiful full shade trees, and thick, well-kept lawns attract and enthrall visitors to this property, offering a variety of visually pleasing statues, carvings and indications of the compassionate and caring service provided by staff and groundskeepers.

Upon entering the property, one of the most notable presentations is a large 18-foot high granite stone structure replicating an open Bible presenting a beautiful carving of the Lord's Prayer. Located in Lorain County, the property serves the needs of Avon and surrounding community residents with multidenominational and multicultural services and options that meet the needs of grieving family members and loved ones.

In addition to serving as a final resting place of many community residents, founders, and local politicians, Resthaven Memory Gardens also serves as the final resting place of Richard Wakefield, major league baseball player for the Detroit Tigers. The property offers flush-to-ground as well as above ground headstones and monuments. Since 1963, the property, sprawling over 80 acres of land, offers six gardens including the Garden of Devotion, in-ground garden crypts, vaulted lots, mausoleum entombments and side-by-side and double depth spaces as well as private family estate cremation options for glass or traditional niches.

The property, dotted with crab apple, pear and dogwood trees, offers a riot of blooms during spring and summer, and the chapel and mausoleums provide beautiful locations for memorialization services and reflection, as do the well manicured and maintained walking paths throughout the property.

Resthaven Memory Gardens is located west of downtown Cleveland on the southern shore of Lake Erie and can be accessed off of Interstate routes 80, 90 or 480 with a turnoff on Route 83, or Avon Belden Road. Resthaven Memory Gardens, as one of the most beautiful in the area, also serves residents of nearby communities in Toledo, Canton, and Youngstown.
