Celebrating 175 years, The Lexington Cemetery continues to honor the vision of its founders.
In 1849, they were inspired by a new trend in cemeteries in Boston, Philadelphia, and Paris, France. These formal garden cemeteries, laid out with paved paths and beautifully maintained landscaping, changed how Lexingtonians thought of burial.
Today, the cemetery has ample space for interments for the next 100 years and other memorialization options — mausoleum space, columbaria, niches, and scattering gardens among them.
