Acheson & Graham Garden of Prayer Mortuary stands as one of Riverside's longest-serving funeral establishments, with origins dating to 1929 when minister John Acheson and funeral director Wilber "Bill" R. Graham opened their first location at 4th and Main streets. The current Magnolia Avenue facility opened in 1958 as Garden of Prayer Mortuary, with the two operations merging in 1973. When the city purchased the downtown location for what became the Convention Center at Rain Cross Square, the business consolidated at the Magnolia Avenue address where it operates today. The facility now serves as a Dignity Memorial provider, offering families a spacious chapel and dedicated reception space under one roof.

Acheson & Graham is not your common funeral home. In 1996 and 1998 my father then my mother passed. I was broken and they treated me with such respect and consideration as they assisted me with making arrangements. I have never forgotten their kindness to me.
