Lincoln Memorial Funeral Home & Cemetery, located at 6800 South 14th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska, has been a pillar of compassionate care for the community for decades. The funeral home opened its doors in 1975, while the adjacent cemetery has served families since 1927. Together, they provide a full spectrum of end-of-life services to residents of Lincoln and surrounding communities including Crete, Beatrice, and Hickman. As a proud member of the Dignity Memorial network, the establishment combines the warmth of local operation with the resources and value of a nationwide provider.

The funeral home offers a homelike atmosphere designed for comfort during difficult times.

The cemetery spans 130 acres of carefully tended lawns, featuring 37 distinct gardens that reflect religious, patriotic, and cultural themes. Options for burial include traditional in-ground burial, lawn crypts, mausoleum entombment in six outdoor and one indoor mausoleum, and cremation interment in the lakefront cremation garden. The mausoleum chapel is available for committal services. The grounds are park-like, with mature trees, a peaceful pond, and frequent visits from fox families, offering a serene final resting place. A large stone obelisk stands in the Masonic circle, and the cemetery includes a large Catholic garden developed in conjunction with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lincoln.
