Reviews
"I was digging( backhoe) for a storm sewer ( city paving project) and I hit the gas service for the crematorium....they came out waving their arms...followed by a hideous stink....they do several bodies at one time.....it was horrible. THIS IS AN AWESOME BEAUTIFUL CEMETERY....My memories of this place.."
"One of the most beautiful cemeteries I have been to. Some famous people in history are interred here. There's a cute chapel. Looks different in the winter and fall, and hauntingly picturesque. Sometimes, you might come across a random bouquet of pheasants or peacocks."
"Beautiful cemetery in Minneapolis. So much history to be found in this bucolic setting. The online map gives a historical guide that goes along with the region of the cemetery that you are driving through. This is an active cemetery and people are still honoring their loved ones by visiting this location. The cemetery is perfectly maintained."
"It's my favorite place to spend time and clear my head, I have awful agoraphobia and anxiety so I explore the grounds with my van and take photos. Absolutely adore it and hope to lay my own head to rest there someday."
"The grounds of this place are just as incredible and impressive as the interior of the the chapel. There is beauty all around and it is such a peaceful place to be. The inside of the chapel offers up some incredible artwork done in tiles. This is a huge cemetery and it gives you the feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle of the city even though you are right next to it. I've seen people just going through the grounds on their morning walks and enjoying the serenity that this place offers."
