Wildwood Cemetery is an active non-profit cemetery in Amherst, Massachusetts, United States, designed and laid out in the late 19th century.
[1] Established in 1887 with the help of poet Emily Dickinson’s brother Austin,[2] the landscape design was inspired by Fredrick Law Olmsted.
Though there were initial plans for a chapel on site, this did not happen, so services are held graveside.
Bird watchers and naturalists are drawn to the cemetery for the flora and fauna.
Preserving the appearance and feel of the late nineteenth century guides cemetery decisions.
