Garden of Memories Memorial Park encompasses a full-service cemetery and crematory operation. The property features a community mausoleum for above-ground casket entombment, a columbarium for cremated remains, and traditional lawn interment sites. The on-site crematory allows families to have cremation services completed entirely within the facility without transfers to third-party providers.
Garden of Memories Memorial Park operates as the Salinas location of Santa Cruz Memorial, a family-owned funeral enterprise with roots tracing to 1918. The cemetery itself has served Salinas area families for over 150 years, making it one of the longest-operating memorial parks in Monterey County.
The property encompasses a community mausoleum, columbarium, on-site crematory, and lawn interment sites. Its grounds hold particular cultural significance as the final resting place of John Steinbeck, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "The Grapes of Wrath" and 1962 Nobel Prize laureate.
The facility operates under the same family ownership as Santa Cruz Memorial's three Santa Cruz County locations, with Randy and Janet Krassow leading the organization.
