Cemeteries always gives me the creeps but this one is an exception. Walking inside it is like visiting a museum preserved by time. Though I never had the chance to take more images, seeing the treasure inside is an excellent experience. Among the artworks I’ve seen, the crying angel is my favorite.
Founded in 1869, Lake View Cemetery sits on 285 acres of land and was modeled after the great garden cemeteries of Victorian England and France. There are over 102,000 people buried at Lake View, with more than 700 burials each year. There are 70 acres remaining for future development. Anyone can be buried at Lake View, without regard to race, creed, religion or walk of life. Offering the beauty, serenity, selection, history, horticulture and architecture rarely found in other cemeteries.
