Sunset Memorial Park, located in Bexar County and located northeast of downtown San Antonio has been serving the needs of San Antonio residents for decades. The cemetery grounds, originally founded in the late 1920s, offers visitors and loved ones some of the most beautiful grounds found in any Texas cemetery. Located on 75 acres of sprawling lawns under the huge, blue Texas skies, Sunset Memorial Park offers a multitude of services that meet the needs of a variety of cultures and traditions found throughout the area. Huge, well-groomed oak trees provide shade and comfort for visitors, who may walk along meandering paths lined with seasonal flowers and native shrubs, flora and fauna of this southern Texas community. The grounds of Sunset Memorial Park offer exquisitely manicured and beautiful private estates, cremation gardens, and private mausoleums. The grounds also contain a memorial dedicated to the victims of 9/11, the space shuttle tragedies, and a veteran's memorial that honor the service and dedication of American heroes, past and present. Sunset Memorial Park and Funeral Home offer acres of sprawling lawns, exquisite landscape arrangements and provide a peaceful and secluded environment for visitors and loved ones to reflect on memories of better times as well as hopes for the future. A chapel and viewing room offers privacy and comfort, while the beautiful grounds outdoors personify dignity, peace, and solitude. Sunset Memorial Park is the final resting place of many San Antonio and Bexar County residents and founders, including sports figures and musicians such as Leon Roger Payne, Doug Sahm, baseball's Detroit Tiger Del Baker, and sculptor Pompeo Coppini, who created many famous sculptures and busts of native Texans. Sunset Memorial Park offers visitors a combination of sprawling Texas open while at the same time providing comfort from the shade of towering oaks, well-designed pathways, and comfort while visiting the grounds through the use of strategically positioned benches, low walls, and resting spots. Located a short drive northeast of downtown San Antonio, Sunset Memorial Park may be accessed off Texas interstates 410, 35, and State Route 368, more commonly known as Austin Highway, a short distance north from Fort Sam Houston.
