The only word to describe Skylawn Memorial Park is: stunning. From the moment they enter its gates at the crest of the Montara mountain range, the beauty of nature in its full glory surrounds visitors to this cemetery. With 505 acres of park-like grounds, Skylawn Memorial is situated on a peninsula with the magnificent Pacific Ocean on the west and the Crystal Springs Reservoir to the east, with San Francisco Bay in the distance. The 85 acres of meticulously landscaped gardens provide peaceful settings in which to memorialize and remember a loved one. Owned by the Lifemark Group, which has been a presence in the Bay area since the 1870s, Skylawn Memorial prides itself on offering full-service planning for those in need. Separate gardens are available for veterans, organizations, religions and ethnicities such as Chinese, Jewish, Hispanic, and others. Two beautiful chapels serve as locations for memorial services and quiet contemplation. On the grounds, the Coastal Range Garden, Family Garden and Mausoleum in the Sky are perfect locations to take in the striking 360-degree view that surrounds the cemetery. The Garden Waterfall and many memorial sculptures that are scattered throughout Skylawn Memorial are breathtaking works of art that add to the magnificence of the view from the cemetery. Located off of Highway 92 at Skyline Blvd., Skylawn Memorial Park is dedicated to helping people make arrangements and handle all the small details that are necessary when a loved one passes away. With a 24-hour help service and a professional staff to see to every need, Skylawn Memorial Park is a peaceful place for final rest, surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of the west coast. |
