Park Lawn Cemetery

About Park Lawn Cemetery

Just south of the wide water of Pymatuning, in the small Mercer County borough of Jamestown, Park Lawn Cemetery keeps a different kind of lawn: a place where people come to remember. The care here is quiet and exact, with grass mowed evenly across the rows, trimming done close and gentle around each stone, and paths kept open for an unhurried visit. When a summer breeze drifts in from the lake country and the afternoon shadows lengthen across the grounds, the whole place feels calm and kept, which is exactly the point. A well-tended cemetery is a quiet kindness, both to the visitors who come and to the ones who rest there. In Jamestown, that kindness is written in every green row.
