Focus on Woodland Cemetery: What principles govern the spatial organization of modern cemeteries? Principle #1: Husbands and wives are buried side by side and often share a headstone. At least some of their offspring, with their spouses, are buried nearby, perhaps in a distinctly marked family plot or in a group of clustered (though not necessarily contiguous) lots. Headstones like this remind descendants of the life their ancestors lived. Woodland is a first-generation "rural cemetery" that continues to serve the people of Xenia. [2013]
