Personalized funeral services

Let’s start with a story. Tell us about a defining passion, a lifelong hobby or an inimitable style, and the professional funeral directors at Cedar Lawns Funeral Home will work to create a memorial service filled with personal touches.

Imagine hosting a bike-in for your family’s most avid cyclist, with a two-wheeled escort for the funeral coach and keepsake monogrammed water bottles for guests. Or host an elegant seated dinner in honor of the matriarch famous for her dinner parties, with her favorite dishes prepared and served by a professional caterer. Let us take care of the details, so you can spend time with those who matter most.

Choose a contemporary celebration of life or a traditional religious funeral—or integrate elements of both to create the perfect personalized fit. Our interfaith chapel can host small groups of up to 20. During the late spring and summer, we can host tented events on the lawn right next to funeral home. It’s breathtakingly beautiful when the cherry blossoms rain down.

Now offering human composting

A new choice for nature lovers, conservationists and those who want to protect the planet for future generations, human composting is a more natural alternative to burial and cremation. Inside a vessel created especially for this purpose, organic elements, such as wood chips, mulch and wildflowers, gently transform a body into nutrient-rich soil. Your family may choose to use this soil to plant trees or flowers, or you can place it in a location meaningful to you. The remaining soil is sent to conservation land on the Olympic Peninsula to aid projects such as reforestation, improving soil health and restoring challenged ecosystems.

Cremation services

Not everyone knows that there are many cremation options. If you are interested in cremation, the funeral home team can explain the process and the different memorial and burial choices. From a direct cremation without a service to a full funeral service before or after the cremation and more, we help you understand the variations in this increasingly common decision. Cremated remains may be memorialized at Cedar Lawns Memorial Park if you wish.

Cedar Lawns Memorial Park Cemetery

Cedar Lawns Memorial Park is a manicured cemetery with sweeping lawns, flowering trees and well-paved roads. It provides a peaceful final resting place for those who have left this earth and a serene setting for remembering loved ones. With a wide variety of burial options from which to choose, we are certain that your family will find a memorial arrangement that suits your needs and wishes.

The cemetery is home to many lovely gardens with names such as Devotion, Serenity and Eternity. Some allow upright monuments; others accommodate only flush memorials. Semiprivate areas are a popular choice for ground burial; we recently opened new hedge estates with space for two or four.

Next to the new hedge estates, near the entrance to the cemetery property, lies a new cremation garden with two grand columbaria. The Azalea Columbarium opened in October 2018. The all-granite structure holds customizable niches. The garden also offers boulder estates and single and companion burial plots.

Certified green burials

The Green Burial Garden at Cedar Lawns Memorial Park is a natural burial site that promotes the growth of native trees, shrubs and wildflowers that bring birds and wildlife to the area. Established in 2016 and certified by the Green Burial Council the area meets strict guidelines. Those who choose a green burial can also choose environmentally friendly options such as a wicker, wool or recycled casket or an urn crafted from salt and sand.

We also offer unique tributes through the Plant a Forest program, which allows your family to sponsor the planting of an acre of trees in a national forest and have them registered in your loved one’s name.

History

Cedar Lawns Cemetery was established in 1952, across the street from Redmond City Cemetery, which was established in the late 1800s as Pioneer Garden. The city cemetery was transferred into the care of Cedar Lawns in 1994. In May of 1996, Cedar Lawns Cemetery was renamed Cedar Lawns Memorial Park after it became part of the Dignity Memorial® network. There are 6 acres of undeveloped land for future garden sites.

Cedar Lawns Funeral Home opened adjacent to the cemetery in 2008.
