Lakewood Cemetery

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.nnWhen 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!

Outstanding in always-nnmeaningful to come here

Beautiful spacious grounds with many large old trees. There are tombstones that go as far back as the mid-1800s. The chapel is incredibly beautiful, a little known gem. The mosaics inside were created by the last generation of old school mosaic master craftspeople in Europe, and are on par with the stunning mosaics in the chapels of the old world. The inside of the chapel is a must-see for art lovers and artisans, as well as anyone who appreciates creations of tremendous beauty

A beautiful and calm setting.

A really beautiful cemetery with a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind chapel. We tend to stop by a cemetery whenever we travel because they are usually quiet, pretty, and full of history. This one was our favorite. Nothing spooky about it—just beautiful hills, lakes, and monuments.
