The Southside Cemetery is located at 111 Arbor Drive, and is owned and operated by the Town of Waxhaw. 

Southside Cemetery was created around 1910 by a group of prominent Waxhaw residents who pooled their money in order to purchase the property and create a cemetery for the community.  The area that now surrounds the arbor was the initial location.  Over the years, with several expansions the cemetery is now over 7.5 acres.  

In partnership with The American Legion Post 208, American Flags are placed on each Veterans grave for Memorial Day and a wreath-laying ceremony is held each December on National Wreaths Across America Day in an effort to Remember, Honor and Teach about the Veterans.

Our Public Services team provide grounds care and landscaping services as well as grave openings and closings. They strive to provide a beautiful and calming setting for visitors. The Cemetery Manager maintains the records that are involved in the operation of this cemetery. 

The fees for cemetery lots are set within the Southside Cemetery Fee Schedule FY25-26 (PDF).
