Eternal Valley Memorial Park Mortuary

Eternal Valley Memorial Park & Mortuary, located at 23287 North Sierra Highway in Newhall, California, is a distinguished funeral home and cemetery serving the Santa Clarita Valley and surrounding communities. With a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from nearly 400 reviews, this establishment is trusted for its compassionate care, comprehensive services, and deep roots in local history. As part of the Dignity Memorial network, Eternal Valley offers a unique combination of funeral, cremation, burial, and memorialization options on a single, scenic 220-acre property. The cemetery was founded in 1958 by funeral director Mark T. Gates Sr., but the land's history dates back to 1855 when it served as Lyons Station, a stagecoach stop and pioneer cemetery. Later, Henry Clay Needham purchased the land in 1888 and established Needham Ranch. After Gates opened the memorial park, a funeral home was added in the 1960s, making it the only combined cemetery and funeral home in Santa Clarita. Today, the facility continues to be a pioneer in the industry, offering personalized services that honor each individual's life. The funeral home features two chapels: Chapel of the Hills, a contemporary open-air space for 100-150 guests, and Chapel of the Oaks, a traditional chapel with stained-glass windows seating 60-75. Services can include catered receptions, customized ceremonies, and unique tributes such as displaying motorcycles for bikers or showcasing a favorite coffee mug for an avid coffee drinker. The team is experienced in diverse funeral customs and speaks Spanish, Tagalog, Mandarin, and Farsi. The adjacent Eternal Valley Memorial Park cemetery offers a variety of burial, cremation, and entombment options. Special sections include Our Lady of Lourdes Garden for Catholic families, a Veterans Section with a memorial wall and flags, the Garden of Sardarabad honoring Armenian heritage, and the historic Garden of the Pioneers with monuments dating to the 1800s. The newer Garden of Inspiration IV features a tranquil waterfall fountain and columbarium niches. The cemetery is committed to preservation and expansion, with much of its land still undeveloped. Each year, Eternal Valley hosts a Memorial Day event drawing 2,000 people, and the team is actively involved in local organizations such as the senior center, chamber of commerce, and events like Little Miss Santa Clarita. The funeral home provides prepayment plans, 24/7 availability, and a 100% service guarantee. They also offer resources like itemized price lists for funeral services, burial merchandise, cremation packages, and financial assistance through CareCredit. Eternal Valley Memorial Park & Mortuary welcomes families from Newhall, Santa Clarita, Castaic, Valencia, Saugus, the San Fernando Valley, and Los Angeles County to visit the beautiful grounds and meet the dedicated staff.
