Earlier this year we completed a deep cleaning of the historical Cooper Memorial Monument.
We invite you to see it on the hill above the main entrance to the cemetery. Click the link below for more on the monument's history and its cleaning.
This summer Tara diLorenzo created a map of notable graves at Lakewood for her Eagle Scout project.
We rely on donations to fund our operating costs. We do our best to maintain the cemetery and honor the graves of all the people memorialized here. We hope you will support our efforts.

DownloadWelcome to historic Lakewood Cemetery in Cooperstown, New York. For nearly 175 years, we have sought to provide, maintain, and preserve a suitable place for the burial of the dead. There are now over 4,800 people buried or memorialized here.
