Message Board Post:
Woodlawn Cemetery is a city-owned cemetery, and does have many pauper/unmarked graves;
however, other cemeteries also have areas for indigents/paupers who could not afford
burial service, or for homeless. An article within the past year or so in the local
newspaper focused on the homeless and showed the mausoleum crypt at Eden Vale Cemetery
where they placed the cremains of the unfortunate. Eden Vale is also owned & operated
by the same company that runs Woodlawn for the City of Las Vegas. There are no cemeteries
in North Las Vegas; one in Henderson and 3 in Boulder City; all the rest are in Las Vegas
or in the unincorporated areas of Clark County.
