This project is for those buried in Sierra Hills Memorial Park, Sacramento, California.
Sierra Hills Memorial Park was established in 1957. It is also known as East Lawn Sierra Hills Memorial Park, a branch of the original East Lawn Memorial Park founded in Sacramento, California in 1904. Sierra Hills Memorial Park is located on Greenback Lane a short distance from I-80 and consists of 70 acres on rolling hills with the Sierra Nevada mountains sometimes viewable at a distance. There are wide expanses of grassy hills for in-ground burials, as well as both indoor and outdoor niches and crypts. Gethsemane Mausoleum and Urn Garden are located toward the back of the memorial park, while a visually impressive Court of Honor with flags flying for all branches of the U.S. military can be seen upon entry on Greenback. St. Francis Hall is a state of the art reception hall. East Lawn Mortuary was added in 1972. The grounds are beautifully maintained with a wide variety of trees, and flowering plants dotting the landscape.
