Mpls-St. Paul Magazine: Joan Soranno Reflects on Lakewood Cemetery’s Garden Mausoleum

As Lakewood Cemetery marks 150 years, Soranno discusses the concepts behind the Garden Mausoleum’s award-winning design.

On the occasion of Lakewood Cemetery’s 150th anniversary, Joan sat down with Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine to talk about the intentionality of the mausoleum’s design choices, and the role landscape architecture plays in creating a peaceful environment to reflect, grieve, and celebrate life.
