Make sure to check out the Garfield Memorial and go to the observation deck for great views of Cleveland!
Hadn't visited this cemetery in over a decade and dragged my wife half-willingly up to the Garfield tomb. Creepy for her, tranquil for me. We noticed the unusual fonts used on many of the late 19th-century tombstones. We especially noted the scarcity of crosses, scriptural references or any other vestige of the Christian religions that its occupants may or may not have believed in. The latter appears to be most probable, since the tombs often belonged to the plutocrats whose vast fortunes made their names famous and known to us many decades after their decease.
Have not been to many cemeteries, but this impressed me. Went here to specifically see the Haserot Angel. This would be a great place to spend a whole day. So much history.
Excellent example of cemetery as historic timeline. The office has maps and we'll arrange tours for individuals as well as groups through this beautiful Arboretum in Cleveland.
The Garfield tomb is over the top . A must see if you are in Cleveland. Tour guides are there from 9 to 4 and very knowledgeable about the cemetery. Thank you
Very beautiful and peaceful place with so much history. We explored for hours and cannot wait to go back. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful.
The staff was very helpful in finding my relatives gravestones. You have to get a layout diagram of each section from the main office in order to find gravestones. So if you're looking to locate gravestones you have to go during office hours.
This cemetery is an important piece of Cleveland's heritage that is worth a visit. Appreciate the location's beauty and history. Check the website and a tourist guide book before visiting. The cemetery has also hosted cultural events in the past including art exhibits.
If you're coming here, make it a priority to visit Wade Chapel. I happened to stumble upon it while it was open and was awestruck. Absolutely worth a visit just for that.
Beautiful place for a weekend walk! Garfield memorial is unbelievable! Check out the nature trails near Wade chapel.
