When it comes to honoring someone you love, the decisions you make about their final resting place are deeply personal. It's about more than just selecting a plot—it's about creating a space where memories can be shared, where healing can begin, and where future generations can come to remember a life well-lived.

At Eastside Memorial Park, we understand that every individual is unique. That's why we've designed our beautiful grounds to offer a variety of cemetery burial options that reflect the diverse ways people choose to be remembered.

If you're drawn to the idea of your loved one resting among natural beauty, our memorial gardens offer a special kind of peace. These thoughtfully designed spaces incorporate native plants, mature trees, and quiet gathering areas where families can come together.

Memorial gardens provide a less formal setting while still offering that important sense of place. Whether you choose cremation with in-ground burial in the garden or select a traditional plot within these green spaces, you're creating a living memorial that changes with the seasons—just as life itself does.

For those interested in environmental stewardship, we also offer natural green burial options in our Memory Forest. This choice allows your loved one to become part of the landscape in the most organic way possible, contributing to the conservation of natural resources while creating a meaningful permanent resting place.

Our columbarium structures offer a beautiful alternative for those choosing cremation. These architectural features provide individual niches where cremated remains are placed, creating a dignified and accessible memorial space.

Many families appreciate that columbariums offer weather-protected memorial markers and a permanent location that's easy to visit. The niches can be personalized with photographs, meaningful inscriptions, and even small mementos that tell your loved one's unique story. Walking through our columbarium areas, you'll see how families have created touching tributes that celebrate everything from military service to beloved hobbies.

Here's what matters most: your loved one's memorial should be as unique as they were. Maybe they were an avid gardener who'd love to rest near the flowering plants in our gardens. Perhaps they were a veteran who deserves the honor of our dedicated military memorial area. Or maybe they were someone who simply loved the mountains and would want their permanent resting place to have that breathtaking Sierra Nevada view.

We work with families to understand what matters to them. From custom memorial markers that incorporate symbols, emblems, or meaningful quotes to selecting just the right location on our grounds, every detail can reflect the person you're honoring.

Beyond just cemetery burial options, our grounds serve as a gathering place for the living. We've created spaces where families can come together, where memorial services can celebrate life rather than just mourn loss, and where the community can honor those who've passed.

Throughout the year, you'll find our grounds hosting meaningful events—from Memorial Day tributes to our participation in Wreaths Across America. These traditions remind us that a memorial park isn't just about the past; it's about keeping memories alive and building connections between generations.

While it might seem difficult to think about, pre-planning your own memorial arrangements is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give your family. It takes the guesswork out of difficult decisions and ensures your life will be celebrated exactly as you wish.

When you plan ahead, you have time to explore our grounds, compare options, and make decisions that truly reflect your values and preferences. You can choose that perfect spot under the old oak tree, select a memorial marker that captures your personality, or even include special touches like your favorite quote or a meaningful symbol.

The best way to understand the cemetery options available is to experience our memorial park firsthand. We invite you to explore our facilities and discover for yourself the peaceful, comforting environment we've created. Walk the paths, sit in the gardens, and imagine where your loved one—or you—might find the most fitting permanent resting place.

Our compassionate team is here to answer your questions, share information about our various memorial gardens and burial options, and help you create a lasting tribute that honors a life well-lived. Because at the end of the day, that's what this is all about: creating a beautiful, peaceful place where love and memory endure.

Whether you're planning ahead for yourself or making arrangements for someone you love, we're here to help you navigate these important decisions with care, dignity, and respect. After all, everyone deserves a memorial as unique and meaningful as the life they lived.
