This is a large commercial cemetery which was established around 1928 to serve the African American community.  Floral Park West Cemetery was purchased by the Washington Park Cemetery Association in 1970.  In 2001, it was renamed West Ridge Park Cemetery and Mausoleum.  It is managed by the Washington Park Cemetery Association, which provided us with the records for about 3,100 of the burials here.  These records have been loaded into the burial database and are available.
