Caballero Rivero Woodlawn South & Woodlawn Park Cemetery South

A funeral home for everyone

Visitors often flock to Miami for its sunny beaches, swanky nightlife and art deco architecture, but to us, one of the best things about the 305 is its diverse, multicultural population. At Caballero Rivero Woodlawn South, we serve families of all cultures, religions and backgrounds, and our team members are familiar with a wide variety of funeral rites and traditions.

South Florida has a robust Hispanic community and many of our associates speak both English and Spanish.

We celebrate life

Every life is unique, and a one-of-a-kind person deserves a one-of-a-kind celebration. At Caballero Rivero Woodlawn South, we are skilled at creating memorable and meaningful tributes that celebrate a loved one’s passions and personality.

Personal touches can be small—photo displays, custom playlists and speeches by friends are common—or more elaborate. For a movie buff, we could show clips of her favorite films on our flat-screen TVs, serve popcorn and give guests customized Oscar statuettes as mementos. If he was an admirer of antique automobiles, we can fill our ample parking lot with classic cars and serve his favorite roadside snacks. Of course, if you prefer something more traditional, we can do that too.

The largest chapel, Chapel A, holds 100 people and has a separate foyer that is perfect for families desiring privacy before, during or after a service. Chapels B, D and E each hold 25 to 50 guests comfortably. All of our chapels have flexible seating and flat-screen televisions.

If you'd prefer an outdoor committal service, the mausoleum pergola sits on the shore of a pond and is perfectly picturesque for a group of up to 50 people.

Memorial for victims of the ValuJet Flight 592 crash

On May 11, 1996, ValuJet Flight 592 dove nose-first into the Everglades with 110 people onboard. No one survived. The DC-9 aircraft took off from Miami International Airport and was headed for Atlanta. In July of that year, the remains of the victims who could not be identified were buried together at Woodlawn Park Cemetery South, and a memorial service was held for all 110 victims.

In remembrance of the people who lost their lives in the accident, a black granite memorial reads: “This monument is dedicated to the memory of those who perished in the Florida Everglades air tragedy of Flight 592 on May 11, 1996.” It is engraved with the names of the 110 victims.
