Westminster Memorial Park: More Than Just a Cemetery
Nestled in the heart of Orange County, California, Westminster Memorial Park & Mortuary isn’t just a burial ground. Westminster Memorial Park is a living, breathing memorial landscape that reflects diversity, beauty, and community connection in every corner. Over its long history, it has evolved into much more than rows of headstones; it serves as a sanctuary of remembrance, nature, and culture.
Here are Some of The Features That Make Westminster Memorial Park Stand Out
- Cultured gardens & multicultural spaces: The Park contains a range of gardens that reflect the cultural make-up of the region. For example, there is a Vietnamese garden (“Garden of Peaceful Eternity”), a Korean garden (“Rose of Sharon Korean Garden”), an Islamic garden, and areas dedicated to Hispanic tradition.
- Diverse burial & memorial options: Westminster offers in-ground burial, above-ground entombment, inurnment, mausoleums, crypts, and niches. The Mausoleum of Eternal Light is especially notable: designed with large skylights, living trees, water features, and high quality imported granite
- Award-winning landscaping & design: At 80 acres, the Park has won honors for its irrigation, micro-climate management, and landscape architecture. The grounds are carefully maintained, integrating mature trees (especially olives), shade, water, and diverse planting to make the place one of serene beauty.
- Active community and cultural role: Westminster doesn’t just serve as a resting place—it hosts events. Memorial Day observances, Easter sunrise services, Day of the Dead (“Día de los Muertos”), and holiday remembrance services are among the ways the cemetery plays a role in community life.
So rather than being just a place for mourning, Westminster Memorial Park is designed also for reflection, remembrance, cultural identity, and community connection.
