Since 1871, Lakewood’s 250 acres of urban parkland have served as a community gathering place and a chronicle of our history. Today, Lakewood is making memorialization more relevant, accessible and inviting for new audiences and generations.
Lakewood Cemetery is a special place. It's a haven of beauty, art and history, but its most important role is to serve families by providing a place of remembrance for loved ones.
Lakewood’s park-like grounds have preserved the history of our community’s people, cultures and events since 1871. We have captured some of this history, as well as information about funerary art and architecture found at Lakewood, and we share it with the community in a variety of ways, including events and tours.
Memorial property and cremation choices
With more than 250 acres, Lakewood will continue to provide memorial property and cremation choices for many years to come. As a nonprofit organization, all funds generated from sales at Lakewood are contributed to a trust fund that is used for the continual care of the cemetery.
We serve families and our community by offering commemorative services to honor, celebrate, and remember a loved one’s life in a place of beauty and solace.
Our core values are:
Welcome: We welcome the community to the beauty of Lakewood and serve families with honesty, integrity, and compassion.
Honor: We believe every life deserves to be remembered, commemorated and celebrated.
Excellence: As leaders in our profession, we achieve the highest standard in our service to families.
Stewardship: We are stewards of our landscape, our history, and the financial resources entrusted to us.
