Established in 1960 by Paul Trousdale, the grounds operate as an official green park irrigated with reclaimed water, incorporating outdoor murals, monuments, and a dedicated veterans section. Notable figures buried here include Jonas Salk, Ray and Joan Kroc, Joseph Coors Sr., and singer Patti Page. Beyond traditional in-ground plots and aboveground entombment, the cemetery accommodates distinctive arrangements, ranging from the WindanSea Cremation Garden to a Harley-Davidson funeral coach.
