Forest Lawn Cemetery: Buffalo History Preserved is a hardcover book that details 150 years of Western New York history and the fascinating stories of the more than 152,000 people buried in Forest Lawn.
Arguably the most beautiful book about a cemetery, its people and its city ever produced, this “coffee table book” of 160 pages features breathtaking photos by Seth Colby, owner of his own arts studio in Buffalo, and Stanford Lipsey, Publisher of The Buffalo News. The photos and text include a reflection of the growth of Buffalo, with an impressive burial list that includes a U.S. President and 47 mayors.
The cemetery’s outstanding funerary architecture represents a wide range of styles. Work of nationally known architects Richard Upjohn and Stanford White are included, along with bas-relief sculpture by August Saint Gaudens and stained glass by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Richard Reisem's lively text ties this outstanding collection of architecture to Buffalo's historical and cultural contributions to American society.
