Santa Rosa Memorial Park
Est. 1885 · Santa Rosa, California
Every Life Is Worth Loving and Remembering Always...
A sanctuary of peace, compassion and history serving generations of Sonoma County families.
Our Story
A Legacy of
Dignity & Care
With a rich history dating back to 1885, Santa Rosa Memorial Park was established by Odd Fellows Lodge No. 53 of Santa Rosa. It is the final resting place of many of Santa Rosa's early residents and has remained an important part of our community for generations.
As a 501(c)(13) nonprofit cemetery corporation, we operate solely for the benefit of the individuals interred here and the community we serve. We are a non-religious, non-sectarian organization, welcoming people of all backgrounds and beliefs.
While Santa Rosa Memorial Park is deeply rooted in its historic past, we are equally committed to the future of our cemetery. We are developing additional land in Santa Rosa that will provide nearly 2,000 new grave spaces, along with room for more urn plots, niches, and other interment options in the years ahead. Our Shiloh annex will also continue to grow, with plans for new burial lawns and dedicated green burial sections designed to meet the evolving needs and values of the families we serve.
Our employees consider it a privilege to serve this community — they take great pride in their role as caretakers of this historic and sacred place.
