• Patricia A.   San Francisco, CA  Jun 19, 2025    My visit to Desert Lawn Memorial Park was on June 17, 2025. As the Juneteenth celebration was so near, June 19, 2025 celebrating the Emancipation Proclamation an executive order issued by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, during the Civil War which declared that all slaves in the rebellious Confederate states were to be freed, I decided to drive from out of town to visit my grandparents resting place as I thought about their contribution to the struggle that still exists in our society. It's been over 40 years since I've visited their gravesite. Thank God I called ahead time because I was immediately forwarded a map of their resting place which made it so easy to find amongst a multitude of other headstones in the park. The Memorial Park was unsoiled without litter or debris, well maintained with luscious green grass and included majestic shade trees to withstand the unbearable heat. I was left with a sense of serenity and peace. I enjoyed a beautiful visit. My grandparent's double grave marker was well maintained after 40 years and very much appreciated by myself and my family. Many thanks to Brenda and her staff!

Review of Desert Lawn Memorial Park

Reviewed 2 weeks ago

I have driven by with my parents for years. I always thought it was a beautiful area. Still do, even though it has grown. I checked out the cemetery. it had areas that were being worked on, as is nothing new. I found it to be a smaller area, but very pleasant, so much so that I plan to get my moneys together to purchase a plot and have my husband and myself buried there. I felt no pressure at all from the wonderful lady who made up my plan. I have no doubt I will be going to purchase my plot. It brought me closure to what I knew I need to do. I was shocked at the costs, it is way better then those big cemeteries that over charge.
