Forest Lawn Cemetery

From my initial email to this review, my experience has been excellent. Erica called and arranged my parents’ burial and walked me through everything. The gentleman that met us at the entrance and let us to the family plot was sweet and patient, and the gentleman that waited for us to say goodbye and then put the ashes in the ground was very professional and kind. Both sides of my family are buried at Forest Lawn, and I have been going there since I was very small to “visit” and feed the ducks. I carried on this tradition with my children. I was very surprised to receive the message from Elizabeth extending her sympathies and making sure all went well! All of the staff at Forest Lawn made the experience of laying my parents’ to rest peaceful and and stress-less! Thank you from a grateful daughter. Suzanne

I lived across the street from here and this place is just serene and peaceful. The graves are works of art and the history is amazing. Class trips should be mandatory in this place because there are just so many historical people in it, many of whose names bypassed the books. The dead do talk to us if you listen closely enough

Forest Lawn Cemetery is located in the heart of Buffalo and although in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city, you can't help but feel in the country and at peace when on its grounds. The entire cemetery is well landscaped over rolling hills and scattered with lakes, ponds and a stream. The old time arcticecture and stones is something you just don't find anymore bringing you back in time. When it's time to start looking for a site, you will not find a more professional, caring team then the one at this cemetery. They are extremely fast at getting back to all questions and concerns and work around your schedule as much as possible. When finally meeting in person, they all sit down and listen to your needs and wants. They take you through the grounds and mark specific grave sites that are available. Upon completion, you go back to the main office where you will discuss further options, from payment, to stone types allowed all the way down to how many caskets/urns can be buried in a single plot. At no time do they pressure you and give you as much time as you need to make your decision for your loved ones or yourself. All financing is done in house and can be either paid up front in one single time where you will get 30% off the plot site or over a period of time with 10% down. When looking for a final resting place, look no further then the grounds of Forest Lawn Cemetery.

I normally visit cemeteries that are much older than this but this is, by far, the most beautiful. Take a tour. Grab a map from the office and visit the graves of many Buffalo celebrities. Great for walking.
