The 1895 marble receiving vault at Galveston's historic Lakeview Cemetery has seen countless hurricanes, including the epic 1900 storm, which have taken a toll on this 19th century depository.
Lakeview Cemetery is located on Galveston Island between 57th and 59th Streets, 4 blocks from the Seawall. The north side of the cemetery runs along Avenue T 1/2.
When Blasterz visited in March of 2022, we were touched to see that someone has interlaced a spray of white flowers into the chain securing the door, as a gesture of respect to all those who have passed though this vault on their way to their final resting places.
