I like the gates and the monument. I find that cemetaries sometimes have some of the nicest gates and monuments around. Even the crypts can be beautiful.
Where is this park located?
Shawn, its a cemetary between Howard and Walker on hwy 3.
thats a beautiful cemetary my parents and my father in law are there that monument in the photo is it out in the back near the pond?? i don't recall ever seeing it
is this greenlawn or heavenly rest??
gary, Heavenly rest is over on Howard, south of hwy 3. This is Victoria....but I beleive Greenlawn and Victoria have merged in the last few years. My Dad is on the Greenlawn side, closer to Walker.
Thanks Aaron i was thinking i was too far east it all seems like one huge graveyard out there
My parents, my aunt, a sister and my brother are all at Victoria Memorial Garden, which I believe is separate from but adjacent to Victoria Memorial Park.
