Always wanted to visit and the time came this Spring. Little signs lead you to the best road to take to view the trees and plants that were in full bloom. What a great experience. It is a park with history! Surprisingly relaxing and beautiful view driving through this cemetery.

This place is awesome just to drive through. I have lots of family buried here. I came in just before closing time by accident and the office was extremely helpful. She found all of my loved ones and then drove me to each plot also giving me a tour along the way. Lots of fun and how often can you... More

We always stop here when going to Little Italy or Coventry. My kids find it interesting from the beautiful buildings and President Garfield Tomb to the beautifully landscaped grounds.

OK, so it is a cemetery, but you gotta see the beauty. The flowering trees, the above two locations make this worth your day. Get out of the car, and see the Chapel and Monument.

Rockefeller, Eliot Ness, Garfield...some of the biggest names in US History are surprisingly in Cleveland's backyard. This backyard however is one of the most well-kept and wonderfully designed landscapes in the US. In Victorian times, cemeteries were sometimes designed to be park-like settings whereby visitors could stroll, picnic, etc. The history you'll find here is incredible- I highly recommend a... More

Lake View Cemetery sits on 285 acres of land and houses so much history and beautiful monuments. One monument you should not miss on your visit is the James A. Garfield Monument; it is the final resting place of President Garfield and his family. A lot of famous people are buried in this cemetery including John D. Rockefeller, Eliot Ness... More

This is a scenic spot near little Italy that should not be missed for a chance to see the beautiful monuments that have been erected in honor of some of Cleveland's past residents. If you enjoy photography, there are numerous opportunities to take some fantastic shots. Don't miss the famous Haserot angel or the tribute to Eliot Ness and other... More

I have no fascination with cemeteries generally, but Lake View Cemetery is a don't miss attraction for Cleveland visitors. Many native Clevelanders have no idea of the many treasures on the grounds of this historic and beautiful park. #1, and not to be missed, is Wade Chapel. Built as a memorial to Jeptha Wade, founder of Western Union, the interior... More

A beautiful and tranquil place to spend an afternoon. The memorial is an amazing tribute with mosaics that are stunning. The volunteer was friendly and made the history come alive.

Somehow my husband and I always seem to end up in graveyards at some point during our vacations! It was not different with our vacation to the Cleveland area in March. We went to the Lake View Cemetery to view the monument of President James Garfield. The monument is like a castle, amazing detail and architecture. Unfortunately, we were not... More
