Honor the dearly departed. Journey back in time to meet notable Milwaukeeans. This free family event is a beloved tradition at Forest Home Cemetery & Arboretum.

Join us this Memorial Day for a family-friendly day at Milwaukee’s historic cemetery. The morning begins with a memorial service in our landmark Ferry & Clas Chapel, followed by a wreath-laying ceremony in the Garden of Honor.

Then stay awhile! Pack a picnic, bring a blanket or lawn chair, and spend the afternoon dining al fresco among the trees. Explore the grounds at your own pace, hear graveside stories from 14 historical interpreters, and take in the beauty of our arboretum.
