Since the beginning of time, humans have returned bodies to the earth in burials. Indeed, for most of Lakewood’s 150-year history, this was the primary way of honoring the dead.
Although cremation has become increasingly popular, burial continues to be chosen by many individuals and families to honor personal preferences or cultural and religious traditions.
At Lakewood, you can choose from picturesque plots located throughout our vast 250-acre memorial park—or have the casket permanently placed inside a crypt within one of our landmark architectural buildings. Come in and let us show you the options so you can find just the right site or setting.

Single, Double, and Family Lots
 |  |
|---|---|
 |
Lakewood Cemetery has more than 200 acres of traditional lots available in a variety of locations at various prices.
​
Single grave lots feature a bronze or granite marker with the name/dates of the person buried there. Family lots, sometimes called monument lots, may contain as few as two or three graves or several dozen. Each family lot has its own distinguishing monument, and markers may be placed at the gravesite of individual members.
Memorial Park Gardens
 |  |
|---|---|
 |
Instead of traditional upright monuments, memorial park grave markers are flush with the ground. Because each section features only one monument, memorial parks preserve the natural landscape.
At present, Lakewood has nine memorial park gardens. Their monuments cover a range of religious and secular themes. Individual lots are memorialized with custom markers or crypt doors specific to each garden.
​
Garden of Seasons
 |

The Garden of Seasons was developed specially for lawn crypt interment. The Lakewood lawn crypt consists of a pre-installed two-tiered concrete crypt. The price of the lawn crypt includes a double, ledger-type bronze memorial. Double or single interment is available in lawn crypts.
