Oakdale Memorial Gardens operates as one of the Quad Cities' oldest surviving cemeteries, established in 1856 on 78+ acres along Eastern Avenue. The property maintains its rural or garden cemetery design from the Victorian Era, with century-old oak trees, gently rolling hills, and a reflecting pond positioned near the entrance. The grounds hold particular cultural significance as the final resting place of jazz cornetist Leon Bismarck "Bix" Beiderbecke, whose grave draws thousands of international visitors annually. Beiderbecke's brother, Charles, once served as the cemetery's sexton. As an independent, non-profit organization, Oakdale operates with a stated mission to preserve its historic value for future generations while serving current families.
