For over 150 years, Lakewood has held reverent space for the lives and legacies of thousands of citizens from all walks of life. Our 250 acres of park-like grounds in Minneapolis, Minnesota are a fascinating chronicle of local cultures and traditions—a place where countless families have come to honor, remember and reflect in ways that are uniquely personal to them. A history keeper and a thought leader, Lakewood honors its roots as a landmark cemetery while reimagining its role in modern life. We’re sparking meaningful new conversations and sponsoring a variety of unique experiences and events that go far beyond what you would expect from an institution like ours. At a time when cemeteries across the country are being challenged by disruptive market forces and major societal shifts, Lakewood remains not just sustainable, but more vibrant and dynamic than ever.
