Zion Cemetery
Established more than a century ago, Zion Cemetery has long served St. Louis-area families as a place of remembrance and connection. Today, its approximately 49 acres also provide valuable green space where mature trees, plant life, birds, pollinators and other wildlife are part of the landscape.
The cemetery has increasingly focused on responsible land stewardship and sustainability, including Green Burial Council-certified green burial options and ongoing efforts to support the health and diversity of the property.
The new arboretum accreditation builds upon that philosophy with an additional focus on the trees and woody plants that help define Zion’s grounds.
