Lawnview Memorial Park


Lawnview Memorial Park, sometimes referred to as Lawnview Cemetery, is a cemetery located at 500 Huntingdon Pike in Rockledge, Pennsylvania.

Origins and history

Established in 1904, Lawnview Cemetery is the resting place for many prominent residents, including soldiers from every American war.
The cemetery was purchased in 1904 to provide affordable burials to Northeast Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. A stone chapel was built on the grounds in 1914. The Lawnview Chapel provided non-denominational services and receiving vaults for bodies awaiting burial. The chapel was converted to the Odd Fellows Cemetery Company's general offices in 1979.
When Monument Cemetery was acquired by Temple University in 1956, many remains were moved to Lawnview. Many graves from the former Odd Fellows Cemetery were also relocated here.
