Lakewood Cemetery

About

Founded in 1871, Lakewood Cemetery is a nonprofit association, open to all people. We provide memorialization in a place of beauty, solace, and history.

Story

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.

Mission

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.

I want to say that this cemetery is beautiful and well kept. The chapel is absolutely stunning. The issue I have is with the way the reception following the service was handled. My dear mother spent many hours planning the service for our loved one. She reached out to Lakewood staff about the area the reception would be held. She even took time out of her day to come tour. She set up a date with the staff and when she came in, there was a grieving family using the space for their reception. Not only was that uncomfortable, it was unacceptable and disrespectful to the grieving family. My mom was unable to see the space and ask questions about what would be made available. She attempted to reach out to the staff several times to get these questions answered several weeks prior. She did not get clear answers and this was reflected the day we buried our loved one. It was not clear on where the reception would be held and our guests were wandering around looking for it. When we got to the luncheon, there were supposed to be 10 tables. Not only was there not enough room for 10 tables, they were only 8. Several guests had to wait until people were done eating and got up. There were no places to set the flowers or pictures. The tech guy did not know how to work the sound system and gave up. Thankfully my husband was able to fix the sound issue for the picture DVD and I was able to dig around and find an easel to place the picture of our loved one on. Very disappointed that we had to deal with this added stress and it took away from our ability to greet and spend time with our guests.

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 miss you. I am sorry I haven't visited you since the burial... I will when I am ready. Love you.

So beautifully maintained it seems more of a public park and the Lakewood Cemetery Chapel does not have it's like anywhere in Minneapolis (and according to the visitor's guide, anywhere outside of Italy for that matter).
