Lincoln Memorial Cemetery

Lincoln Memorial Cemetery opened in 1927. With many mature trees and a pond, the cemetery is very calm and peaceful, with a park-like atmosphere. Families of fox are occasionally spotted on the grounds as well, making for a nice surprise.

37 different gardens

Spanning the park's 130 acres of carefully tended lawns are 37 different gardens. Many of the gardens reflect religious and patriotic themes. We also have a special garden for veterans which also showcases the Avenue of Flags. A large stone obelisk, another special feature of the property, can be found in the Masonic Circle.

Our cemetery has a large Catholic garden in conjunction with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lincoln, although you do not need to be affiliated with a specific church to be buried there.

"Our family had a VERY short time frame to make decisions and arrange our loved ones funeral so we were all feeling rushed and stressed, but the staff was very informative and helpful to provide what our family needed. I am especially greatful to Courtney for making the process as smooth as possible, how easy it was for us to communicate with her when we had questions or concerns, and how she went above and beyond to provide quality service for our family. Overall a wonderful experience and we are happy with the quality that they put into providing a beautiful funeral service for our loved one."
