Collection: Lake Forest Cemetery - Lake Forrest

Located off the coast of Lake Michigan, the Cemetery is a beautiful and scenic location for a final resting place. Lake Forest Cemetery is peaceful, tranquil and beautiful during all seasons. Designed by landscape architects, Almerin Hotchkiss, O.C., Simonds and William Le Baron Jenney, Lake Forest Cemetery is the permanent place of rest of many well known leaders and everyday heroes from Lake Forest and Lake Bluff. Noted for its unique beauty, the Cemetery is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Lake Forest is unique among the North Shore communities in having a large public cemetery. The beauty of the grounds is due to the earnest efforts of the Cemetery Commission members, competent and dedicated staff, inspired artists and architects, cooperative licensees and appreciative visitors.
