Belcrest Park Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 3, 2010.
Belcrest Memorial Park Cemetery is located on the gentle green rolling hills, atop a bell-shaped crest, overlooking the Willamette Valley in South Salem. Beautiful landscaping, including hundreds of varieties of trees, shrubs and flowers, enhance the natural beauty of the Park's seventy acres.

Since its establishment in 1928 by W.A. Laidlaw, as one of the first and largest endowment care Memorial Parks on the West Coast, Belcrest has constantly been carrying out its trust of serving the interment needs of the surrounding community.

Through Belcrest's office, conveniently located at the Park, we can offer you a complete line of cemetery preneed and at-need services, including traditional ground burial, mausoleum crypts, urn garden, and columbarium niches. Also, a selection of bronze and granite memorial markers are available.

We hope that you will allow Belcrest to serve you.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
