Our Story

RESTLAWN MEMORIAL GARDENS & MAUSOLEUM established in 1956, is located a few miles from the Oregon State capital building. Surrounded by farmland and the Oregon Mountains, and overlooking the lush Willamette Valley, the flat grounds feature wonderful trees and gardens. There are old unique monuments in the gardens, including a mural of the Last Supper, a shepherd and sheep, and an open Bible.

In the mid 1980’s, Restlawn funeral home was added to the cemetery grounds. Understanding the growing needs of West Salem and Polk County, Restlawn Funeral Home was built to meet the needs of the community. Restlawn has a modern design and continues to make adjustments in order to grow with our community.

Focus On Life

Here’s the truth: most cemeteries consider their primary function to be handling remains. Instead, we think of our job as having two parts: physical and emotional. The physical is burials, entombments and inurnments. The emotional is working with families to design healing experiences. Our peaceful and intimate setting becomes a place where people find closure, renewal and togetherness. And that’s the most rewarding part of what we do.

Honoring Life – Honoring and celebrating the life are the cornerstones of healing after loss.

Honoring the life of your loved one means you value the relationship you shared. We look forward to helping you decide how to celebrate that bond and honor the unique individual you’ve lost. We can make suggestions to enhance your tribute ideas. Together we will create a fitting and memorable event. Contact us today to discuss the possibilities.
