Located in historic North Minneapolis at the intersection of Penn Ave and Dowling Ave, Crystal Lake is one of the oldest and largest cemeteries in the metro area. Established in the 1890s, it features over 180 acres of rolling grounds and ancient trees and offers families a scenic escape from the city. Crystal Lake's history is especially evident at our Memorial Day celebration, where we honor all veterans, from our oldest graves for veterans of the Spanish-American War to our current Veteran's Wall. Crystal Lake features a variety of burial and cremation options as well as a full service funeral chapel.
