Casket Memorial Options

Lakewood offers many beautiful options for permanent memorialization. These memorials provide a comforting place for friends and loved ones to return to. Casket options include traditional graves, monument lots, and crypts, both above ground and at lawn level.

All of Lakewood’s memorial options include a permanent listing on our website’s searchable public database, with a picture, biography/obituary, and maps showing the memorial’s location.

Traditional Graves
If you prefer the timeless beauty of an outdoor site, you can choose from many tranquil spots throughout our vast 250-acre, park-like grounds.

Costs range from $2,795 – $15,995+

Grave prices depend on the site selected. Each grave space offers the flexibility to customize a flat marker for an additional cost. Although Lakewood must approve the final style design, these markers allow for the most personalization of any memorials at Lakewood. All burials at Lakewood require the purchase of an outer burial container (casket vault) and an additional interment charge at the time of burial.

Our knowledgeable Family Services team can help you understand all the options and costs when choosing a traditional grave.

Monument Lots
The upright monuments that grace Lakewood’s beautiful grounds designate a set of graves purchased together. A single upright memorial marks the family space, surrounded by adjacent individual graves for each person. These lots are available in limited areas of the cemetery.

Costs range from $19,995 – $75,995+

Monument lot prices depend on the site selected. The cost for an upright monument and flat grave markers is additional. Approval from Lakewood Cemetery on the size, style, material, and design of the monument is required. All burials at Lakewood require the purchase of an outer burial container (casket vault) and will incur an additional interment charge at the time of burial.

Our knowledgeable Family Services team can help you understand all the options and costs when choosing a monument lot. 

Above-Ground Crypts
Individuals who prefer not to be buried in the earth may choose an above-ground option, called a crypt. Indoor marble crypts are available in our contemporary Garden Mausoleum or traditional Memorial Mausoleum. Those who feel a strong connection to nature and the outdoors may select a marble or granite crypt in our beautifully landscaped setting with views of the surrounding gardens or our contemplative reflecting pool.

Costs range from $10,995 – $59,995+

Most crypts are designed and priced to accommodate two caskets. (No vault is required.) Remembrance ceremonies can be held at Lakewood, but families do not witness the opening and closing of a crypt. There will be an additional interment charge at the time of burial.

Lawn Crypts
Those who would like to be remembered in a way that preserves the look of a natural landscape should consider one of Lakewood’s Memorial Park Gardens: Peace, Love and Seasons. Each garden features a single monument surrounded by below-ground lawn crypts that can hold up to two caskets.

Costs range from $10,995 – $59,995+

Most crypts are designed and priced to accommodate two caskets. (No vault is required.) Remembrance ceremonies can be held at Lakewood, but families do not witness the opening and closing of a crypt. There will be an additional interment charge at the time of burial.
