With 285 breathtaking acres, Lake View Cemetery is the perfect place to spend the afternoon—or the afterlife. We offer exceptional, affordable, and highly reverential resting places to any and all denominations. So stop by anytime. And stay as long as you like. Even though the cities of Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, and East Cleveland have grown up around what was once open country side, the rural atmosphere that existed when Lake View was founded in 1869 continues to be preserved and cultivated. Lake View is a memorial to those who built our community, from titans of industry and civic leaders, to immigrant laborers and descendants of slaves.
