Beautiful cemetery with winding roads, points of interest, and many large trees and shrubs. There's a large map display in front of the main office. I was there on the weekend (office is closed), but luckily, they have an online arcgis interactive map to find my relatives. Office hours are M-F 7am-3:30pm, closed for lunch 12-1pm.

One of the most beautiful cemeteries in the state of Maine. Well kept grounds and a peaceful walk.On a side note - I did see a ghost there in my youth, just outside the church, as I was on my walk out of the cemetery. Not that anyone would believe me without some proof, but I saw what I saw.

The largest cemetery in the city, Evergreen Cemetery lies along Stevens Ave, between Deering High School and UNE-Portland Campus. It is enormous, and there are so many little nooks and crannies, and pathways, and trails around the grounds of this cemetery, you truly feel like you have the place to yourself most days. I love going for walks and drives through this cemetery. The history that lies within its walls, the monuments and tombstones from different eras, the beautiful landscape in literally every single part of the cemetery, it is absolutely beautiful, in every season (wear boots in the spring!). An absolute must for anyone who frequents cemeteries.
