Historic Evergreen Lawn Cemetery is a beautiful cemetery located at 13430 Bloomingdale Rd, across from Akron High School in the Town of Newstead, N.Y. Originally known as Bloomingdale Cemetery, it was chartered in 1893 at the office of H.H. Newton, an Akron merchant. It was the first cemetery built in close proximity to the Village of Akron.
There are approximately 6,200 “permanent residents” in Evergreen Lawn Cemetery’s 7.5 acres, which includes columbaria and a cremation scatter garden. Evergreen Lawn is also the final resting place for many veterans of U.S. military conflicts, including the War of 1812, the Civil War, World War I and World War II, as well as those in Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf.
In addition to recognizing the important history of our cemetery, and the early settlers buried here, we are an active cemetery today, with affordable options for casketed and cremation burial. As part of the Forest Lawn Cemetery Group, we pledge continued maintenance and care for the cemetery’s grounds, committed to assuring its future.
