V.J. Memorials is the place to go if you are looking for a headstone for your loved one. They were very efficient, patient and empathic during our difficult time. Corrine made the process very smoothly for our family. Their turn around time is the fastest in the surrounding counties and their prices are very reasonable for their great quality of work. Would strongly recommend to visit their business you will not be disappointed!

I wanted a personal and meaningful grave marker for my baby. I found Vj memorials online and set up an appointment. This vendor exceeded my expectations. Corinne made the process of purchasing easy and comfortable for me and my husband. I came with my own design and Corinne was able to create a very similar one which I am very happy. She explained and answered all the questions that I had. I am truly grateful for good service she provided us.

Our design that Christina helped us with is not only what we all hope to achieve but it is absolutely what we wanted. We wouldn’t want anything less for our mom it’s so important to have something that’s inspiring and Christina assisted in that and we appreciate that. Highly recommend.

Corrine Moreno was so kind and patient with me. So helpful with offering different choices while keeping in mind my financial situation. She patiently listened to stories about my sister which really made this dreaded 1st time experience a fun therapy session! She’s the best!

We called VJ Memorials after speaking with another business that just didn’t feel welcoming. From the first phone call, they were kind and patient with us. We came in the next day, designed everything, and paid — the whole process was easier than we expected. She was so empathetic and kind during a hard time. We highly recommend them. Our memorial will be placed in Pomona Cemetery.

Common Questions

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: paperwork, 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 →

About the Park

A Brea Landmark Since 1956

A Place in Brea 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.
