Lakewood Cemetery: Our flourishing urban woodland boasts 4000 trees, made up from100 different species and varieties. In addition to the intricate beauty and dappled shade that our trees offer, we are grateful for their role in supplying the oxygen we breathe, buffering us against extreme temperatures, filtering water, storing carbon, and providing habitat for other plants and animals. You’re welcome to visit Lakewood’s arboretum, which spans our entire grounds, every day of the year.
