Lakeview Cemetery is located on the east side of the City of Cleveland, Ohio, along the East Cleveland and Cleveland Heights borders. The cemetery is known for its beauty and its gravesites, representing a who's who of American history. The cemetery is so named because it is partially located in the "heights" area of Greater Cleveland, with a view of Lake Erie to the north.

In addition, the Cemetery is home to the James A. Garfield Monument; President and Mrs. Garfield are buried in the lower level crypt.
