Welcome and thank you for supporting our fundraising auction event! All proceeds of the online auction go to Friends of Bellefontaine Cemetery.

Friends of Bellefontaine Cemetery is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Friends raise funds to support our cemetery’s educational tours, natural resource conservation, historic monument preservation, and community support efforts. Our most essential community program is Garden of Angels. 

Recognizing how the loss of a child is an especially tragic and heartbreaking event for families, Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum implemented a program in 2012 to assist with this financial and emotional burden. The cemetery donated land and interment services to provide free burials. The Friends of Bellefontaine raised funds from the community for a complimentary cutting garden, individual markers, and benches so families may sit near their loved ones. A lovely angel statue (a gift from a generous supporter) graces the garden and is the inspiration for our program’s name, The Garden of Angels.  Families come to the program and are available for anyone who needs our help. 

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for participating in our largest event of the year. We sincerely appreciate all of your support. A special thank you to our amazing donors for making all of this possible!  Have fun and happy bidding!
