Reviews
"No longer a resource center/archive. Now it's the office and visitor center. Receptionist was helpful. She gave me a map"
"The lady at the front desk was so helpful. She was accurate, super nice and understanding. The information that she found that I needed gave me a HUGE PIECE of MIND"
"I visited this place several times in the past few months. I wanted to purchase a plot in a new section for scattered ashes. I also had to arrange a funeral service at Lakeside Cemetery in Hamburg. Everyone who assisted me at Forest Lawn was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and kind. All of my needs were met. The cemetery is a special place in Buffalo."
"The gentleman at the desk was very kind and most helpful. Very happy to see the grounds looking amazing. I do think they should do a wildlife fund for the critters that call it home. Always puts me in an amazing mood to go see such history, and the breath taking grave stones. I love this place. I try to visit a grave or two that have long since been forgotten, I leave a coin so they know someone thought of them"
"Visited here for part of the annual celebration of President Millard Fillmore's birth. Contains small gift shop and restrooms. #handicappedaccessible"
