It is one of the only examples of Byzantine style chapels in the US, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Click here for more information on the Lakewood Memorial Chapel.

Chapel FAQs
What are my transportation and parking options?
Free parking is available along roads inside the cemetery, including reserved spaces for handicap parking near the chapel. There is a Metro Transit bus stop just outside of Lakewood’s front gates at 36th & Hennepin Ave. It is within walking distance from the chapel (1-2 blocks). If you come by bicycle, use the bike racks near the cemetery’s main gates.
Is the Chapel accessible?
Due to the historic nature of this venue, there are limited accessibility accommodations that can be made. Accessibility notices are below:
Parking: Reserved accessible parking spots are available near the Chapel’s entrance, which has a ramp to the front door.
Seating: All seating is in fixed pews with cushions. Behind the pews, there is space for wheelchairs, but it is limited.
Restrooms: Two single-occupancy washrooms are available on the main level.
We apologize for these inconveniences. While we strive to be welcoming to all, there are limitations within this historic space. If you have further concerns about accessibility, please call us at 612-540-5165 or email events@lakewoodcemetery.org.
