What Families Say About Us
What Families Ask About Memory Garden
Do you handle everything with Memory Garden?
Yes. We design and engrave the memorial at our Chino factory, and once you approve the design proof we take it from there: the installation authorization, cemetery approval, and delivery coordination. No separate calls to Memory Garden on your end.
What are Memory Garden’s visiting hours?
Memory Garden Memorial Park is open for visitation daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For holiday hours or section access questions, call the cemetery office at (714) 529-3961.
What types of memorials are allowed at Memory Garden?
Memory Garden allows flat granite and bronze tablet markers only, set level with the ground; no upright monuments. See the Cemetery Regulations section above for every permitted size and section rule.
What are the setting fees at Memory Garden?
Memory Garden charges a setting fee of $250 (as of March 2026) for our granite tablets: the 24″×12″×3″, the 28″×16″×3″, and the 36″×14″×3″ companion. This fee is paid directly to the cemetery and is separate from the cost of the memorial. Memory Garden also maintains an endowment care fund, as required by California law, that pays for the long-term care of the grounds.
Who installs the marker at Memory Garden?
Memory Garden’s own staff. We deliver the finished memorial to the park, and their team places it level with the ground. The setting fee covers this installation.
How long does it take to get a headstone made and set at Memory Garden?
In-stock flat markers are ready in 2–4 weeks. Special orders may take longer; we’ll let you know up front. Once delivered to Memory Garden, their team sets the marker as part of their regular schedule.
Can I add an inscription to an existing memorial at Memory Garden?
Yes. We add inscriptions to existing memorials on site at Memory Garden. 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 →

A Brea Landmark Since 1956
Founded by brothers Richard and Franklin Keeline on land they’d once used for their own plant nursery.
Memory Garden Memorial Park opened in May 1956 on the Keeline family’s former nursery property. Utter McKinley Mortuaries purchased the park in 1977 and completed an on-site mortuary in 1980, making Memory Garden the first combined mortuary-cemetery in North Orange County. The grounds span just over 30 acres and include a Veterans Section with its own Field of Honor.
Families from across North Orange County use Memory Garden, including Brea, Fullerton, Yorba Linda, La Habra, and Placentia.
Ownership: Private. Founded by the Keeline family in 1956 and purchased by Utter McKinley Mortuaries in 1977.
