Lake View Cemetery
- Landmark
- Regional draw
- Cleveland
Lake View Cemetery combines a landscaped burial ground with monuments, mature trees, and significant Cleveland histories.
The James A. Garfield Memorial and Wade Memorial Chapel are among its notable architectural destinations, while the wider grounds reward attention to less familiar memorials and planting. The cemetery remains a place of remembrance as well as historical interest.
Consult visitor hours and current building-access information before arriving. Follow cemetery conduct rules, keep clear of services and private gatherings, and allow time for a respectful walk rather than treating the grounds as an ordinary recreation park.
