Beautiful cemetery in Minneapolis. So much history to be found in this bucolic setting. The online map gives a historical guide that goes along with the region of the cemetery that you are driving through. This is an active cemetery and people are still honoring their loved ones by visiting this location. The cemetery is perfectly maintained.
It's my favorite place to spend time and clear my head, I have awful agoraphobia and anxiety so I explore the grounds with my van and take photos. Absolutely adore it and hope to lay my own head to rest there someday.
I dont know how you can review a cemetery. No one wants to go there. But we feel at peace visiting our loved ones who have passed. The grounds are very well kept and the employees are incredibly kind during a difficult time. The directory on where to find your loved ones grave is also very helpful
The grounds of this place are just as incredible and impressive as the interior of the the chapel. There is beauty all around and it is such a peaceful place to be. The inside of the chapel offers up some incredible artwork done in tiles. This is a huge cemetery and it gives you the feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle of the city even though you are right next to it. I've seen people just going through the grounds on their morning walks and enjoying the serenity that this place offers.
Beautiful scenery n the chapel was beautiful inside for a funeral today! Someday, I would love to walk around inside the cemetery to look at the beautiful statues n mausoleums n tombstones!
Well-kept grounds and stunning location with lots of places to explore and learn the history of Minnesota.
If I could give Lakewood a rating equivalent to all the stars in the sky, I would. My mother was laid to rest here on June 1 after she lost her battle with Covid 19. She had a hard life so I’m glad that she’ll rest in these beautiful, peaceful grounds for eternity. I love that Lakewood has events, remembrances and other services for the living to continue to honor and remember those that they’ve lost. When I purchased my mother’s plot last year, Kelly Leahy was simply amazing! She was so patient, knowledgeable and knew even more about the burial rules of my culture than I did. She made the process really easy and smooth. When I lost my mother this year and had questions about my mother’s burial because of the pandemic, Kelly was so supportive and responsive. The funeral home that was preparing my mom for burial was really sketchy and unresponsive so Kelly even provided her expertise in this area because I needed a second opinion. Words cannot express my gratitude for everything she did! I also dealt with Chris and a lovely lady whose name I forgot to ask for but suffice it to say, they were both wonderful. It gives me great peace of mind knowing that these caring and extraordinary people work here as I don’t live nearby. Lakewood is impressive in every way!
The Chapel is so beautiful and the grounds so excellently manicured. I love that they leave the Chapel open for folks to appreciate. One of my favorite places in the city.
I just moved back to Uptown Mpls, and needed someplace to walk a couple of miles without plowing thru the summer mobs around Bde Maka Ska. I have extended family buried here so I figured I could justify my presence if necessary. It turned out to be a wonderful place to walk for under an hour. Saw wild turkeys, a fishing osprey on the pond, and some stones/monuments that are true artworks. Highly recommended if you need some peace. Just avoid weekends, don't act invasive, and you should be fine.
Can I rave about a cemetery? Well …..as much time as I’ve spent in this one just exploring and walking through it I think I can ! Respectful staff 1800s through present with a peaceful lake in the far corner ……if my body ended up here I’d be ok with that …..seriously.
