Forest & Riverview Cemeteries

Located in Downtown Coeur d'Alene

The local Army post, known as ‘Fort Sherman,’ was abandoned by the Army when they moved to Spokane in the late 1800’s. In the early 1900’s, the Coeur d’Alene citizenry petitioned President Theodore Roosevelt to convey the old Army post cemetery to Coeur d’Alene for a municipal cemetery. In 1905, by proclamation, President Roosevelt gifted the City of Coeur d’Alene with what is now known as ‘Forest Cemetery.’

In the late 1960’s, the city purchased additional acreage adjacent to Forest Cemetery and named the addition ‘Riverview Cemetery.’ Riverview Cemetery carries on with the tradition of Forest Cemetery and is complemented by a beautiful cremains Niche Garden area, as well as a veterans section dedicated to all the veterans of the various branches of the U.S. Military.
