Lakewood Cemetery

Lakewood Cemetery is a large cemetery located on boundary of Clinton and Jackson; the tornado that struck Clinton on April 15th blew down 300 trees in the cemetery, and it has been closed since then. At the present time, families may elect to have a private burial with only Lakewood staff present or have the funeral homes hold the bodies until the cemetery reopens.

Sunday, Mother's Day, is usually the busiest day of the year for visitors, but none was allowed in this past Sunday.
