Stopped by today to visit the grave of a good friend and former teacher. The two men in the office who helped me were terrific. I am sorry I was not better prepared with the information as my friend had a different last name. Instead of showing me on a map where she was buried I was taken by golf cart to go see it. Wow this was truely amazing and very much appreciated. I will always remember it I am sure. I missed out getting their names but I so appreciate their patience, help and professionalism with me. Thank you again Lindenwood Cemetery and also for the books on the history of the cemetery I will enjoy reading.
A hauntingly beautiful place. Lots of interesting headstones and history. Lots of very important folks in Fort Wayne's history were laid to rest here. Some names you'll recognize here are as follows; Ewing, Shoaff, McMillen, Baals, and many others. Lindenwood Cemetery is essentially a State Park in terms of size, beauty, and history. There's a stunning stone chapel nestled into the heart of the grounds, not visible from the road. Grounds are immaculate, and very well kept. It's always a pleasure to visit Lindenwood!
Google maps shows the cemetery is open 24 hours. Arrived at 6:30 am to photograph the sunrise and found gates locked. Only signs saying “cemetery closes & gates locked at sunset”. No sign saying when gates will be unlocked. Please update availability times. Thank you.
Thank you Lindenwood Staff and Services for you’re assistance with the burial of my mother, with nothing being planned and it being all so sudden, I am very grateful for allowing a place where majority of members that have passed on are also located, thank you Jeanne for your knowledge and education on resources if we need it, and also with the planning to get a tombstone but I mostly want to thank the cemetery. Been a hard process but easier with Mungovan and Lindenwood during the time. Appreciate your professionalism and sympathy during the hardest thing I could ever imagine having to go through. THANK YOU!
If you walk the entire path, it is 2.6 miles around. I used to walk the cemetery for a while as it was peaceful!
Hello, I just buried my son there a month ago. Tried to go in to see him today the day after Christmas to put something on his grave. Gates are closed and locked. I don't understand this? I just couldn't go yesterday it was too hard on me. So his brother and I tried to go and could not get in. Can anyone tell me why?
I made arrangements with Lindenwood for my plot and burial several years back that I am still paying on. At the time I made arrangements I was lied to and was advised that my dogs cremated remains could be buried with me. I now find out that the salesman lied. Now I have to make an appointment to see what else they lied about. They are supposed to resolve this matter but I am not holding my breath. They call me every two weeks trying to sell me something but the salesman can’t return my call. Lindenwood is not trustworthy.
My father told me years before he became ill that he wanted Lindenwood Cemetery to be his final resting place. Lindenwood Cemetery is where his mother, father, sister, and countless other relatives are buried. When he became terminally ill last year, I reached out to Lindenwood to make arrangements and received excellent customer service from Tammy Lugar. She reached out and offered kind words. When he passed in May 2020, she made sure that everything was in place. I couldn't have been happier with the service I received from Tammy and the Lindenwood staff at that time. Today, I am deeply disappointed with the service I've received. Lindenwood notified in January that they were ready to put a niche place on his crypt and asked how I would like his name spelled. Since then, I have had to call no less than once a month to check on the plate's status. It took months for a plate to come in, and when it did, it wasn't his name as I had specified. I have been calling for months to correct the plate and receive a picture of his crypt to share with family and friends who do not live in Fort Wayne. I have emailed and left countless messages with promises that someone will return my call - I'm still waiting. What I am asking for and paid for in full in May 2020 is so small but means so much to my family and me. It breaks my heart that my father has been gone for over a year, and his crypt still doesn't have his name on it. He wanted to spend eternity at Lindenwood, but I don't feel as though Lindenwood wants him.
Beautiful cemetery. Highly recommend visiting if you like cemeteries. Hands down the most beautiful one I've been to so far. Rest in peace to all the souls laid to rest there.
This is such a sacred place located West of Downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana. With that being said, this is a beautiful cemetery. Established in the year, 1859. It sits on 175-180 acres. They have around 70,000 grave sites. This cemetery lays rest to a lot of famous people including. Samuel Hanna, Jesse L. Williams, Allen Hamilton, Colonel George W. Ewing, Paul Frank Baer, Daisy E. Nirdlinger and Arthur "Art" Roy Smith. I recommend taking a walk or a slow drive, and respect the cemetery rules.
