Since the Elmlawn Cemetery is located near Buffalo, New York and Niagara Falls, my daughter and I decided to make it a vacation trip. For us it was a 6 hour trip by car to Buffalo. We stayed near the 290 Expressway to make it easy to get to both the cemetery and Niagara Falls. A good portion of one day was spent visiting the grave sites and taking pictures.

The office at the cemetery is very helpful if you have any questions or need directions to a particular area. I suggest you write to the cemetery in advance with the names you are interested in. They will send you a map of the cemetery with the grave sites marked.

Elmlawn has a new website with more information on the cemetery, a map and directions, plus some genealogy information. You can visit them at www.elmlawncemetery.com

While you are there be sure to take time to take in Niagara Falls and visit some of the sites in Buffalo.
