What Families Say About Us

Common Questions

What Families Ask About Evergreen

Do you handle everything with Evergreen?

Yes. We design and engrave the memorial at our Chino factory, and once you approve the design proof we take it from there: paperwork, cemetery approval, and delivery coordination. No separate calls to Evergreen on your end.

What are Evergreen’s visiting hours?

Evergreen Memorial Park is open to visitors daily from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. For holiday hours or section access questions, call the cemetery office at (951) 683-1840.

What types of memorials are allowed at Evergreen?

Evergreen allows flat granite markers set level with the ground, in four sizes. See the Cemetery Regulations section above for every permitted size and section rule.

What are the setting fees at Evergreen Memorial Park?

Evergreen charges a setting fee of $375 for all flat markers, paid directly to the cemetery. Cement borders are available for $220 but are not required for granite markers. These fees are separate from the cost of the memorial. Fees listed as of July 1, 2026.

Who installs the marker at Evergreen?

Evergreen’s own grounds crew. We deliver the finished memorial, and their team handles the installation. The setting fee covers it.

How long does it take to get a headstone made and set at Evergreen?

In-stock flat markers are ready in 2–4 weeks when the granite size and color are in stock. Special orders may take longer; we’ll let you know up front. Once delivered to Evergreen, the cemetery typically sets the marker within a few business days.

Can I add an inscription to an existing memorial at Evergreen?

Yes. We add inscriptions to existing memorials on site at Evergreen Memorial Park. We bring our portable engraving equipment right to the gravesite, so there’s no need to disturb the memorial or coordinate a removal. Adding a second name, a death date, or a short inscription typically takes a couple of hours on site. Learn more about on-site engraving →

About the Park

Part of Riverside Since 1872

Riverside’s First Burial Ground

The first burial here took place in 1872, a year before the Riverside Cemetery Association was formally organized.

The association incorporated in 1880 as the Evergreen Cemetery Association and adopted the current name in 1966. Today the park covers more than 20 acres along 14th Street in downtown Riverside, with approximately 27,000 interments. John W. North, who founded the city of Riverside, and Eliza Tibbets, who planted the first navel orange trees in California, are both buried here.

Families from across the Inland Empire use Evergreen, including Riverside, Jurupa Valley, Norco, Corona, Moreno Valley, and Colton.

Ownership: Private, nonprofit, nonsectarian. Operated by the Riverside Cemetery Association, a 501(c)(13) nonprofit cemetery company.
