Forest Lawn History Coach Tour

Back by popular demand for the 13th year!

In its 160 years, Forest Lawn Cemetery has become an enduring chronicle of history and a cultural landmark to local accomplishment. Considering the impact of these accomplishments on America and the world, Forest Lawn is a national asset and fully deserves its designation in the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places.

On this tour, guests travel through Forest Lawn's historic grounds by an air-conditioned motor coach to hear stories about some of the 156,000 people buried here.

Some of the highlights include views of the natural landscape that is part of Western New Yorks largest arboretum, magnificent architecture, memorials and works of art by notable local and international artists.

Guests may also encounter a few of Forest Lawns residents that will gladly give insight about their contributions to Buffalo and, in some cases, to the nation.

This journey through time and Buffalos history culminates at the famous Blocher Memorial. The tour begins at the Delaware and Delavan gates of Forest Lawn and lasts approx 1 1/2 hours.
