Sunset Memorial Gardens Crematory

Sunset Memorial Gardens Crematory, located at 17936 Veterans Memorial Highway in Kingwood, West Virginia, is a serene and comprehensive cemetery and cremation facility serving Preston County and the surrounding communities. Situated on 42 acres just outside of Kingwood along Route 7, the grounds offer a peaceful and beautifully landscaped setting for reflection and remembrance. In April 2022, the cemetery became affiliated with the respected Kingwood Funeral Home, marking a new chapter that brought significant enhancements to the property. Since the acquisition, a modern 288-crypt mausoleum and a state-of-the-art crematory have been constructed, providing families with a full range of interment and cremation options. The facility also features a columbarium, a dedicated structure for the dignified entombment of cremated remains, located outside the mausoleum for easy access and quiet contemplation.

The cemetery is thoughtfully divided into a variety of gardens and sections, each with its own character and charm. Distinctive statues and meticulous landscaping magnify the natural beauty, creating a tranquil atmosphere for visitors. Options for memorialization include flat bronze marker sections and an upright granite monument section known as the Garden of Angels. One of the most unique offerings is the Faithful Friends section, a dedicated pet cemetery that honors beloved animal companions. Sunset Memorial Gardens takes great pride in being the only cemetery in Preston County to offer a pet cemetery, a mausoleum and columbarium, and a crematory all on one property.

The facility is fully wheelchair accessible, with accessible entrances and parking lots to ensure all visitors can navigate the grounds with ease. The staff is committed to maintaining the highest standards of grounds care and is always available to assist families with selecting markers or monuments, making prearrangements for lots or mausoleum spaces, and answering any questions about services. Resources include detailed maps to help locate graves, clearly posted rules and regulations, and a variety of support materials such as grief support services, frequent questions, and cremation FAQs. Veterans are honored with dedicated resources including information on headstones and burial flags. The affiliated Kingwood Funeral Home also provides comprehensive funeral and cremation services. Whether a family is planning ahead or preparing for an immediate need, Sunset Memorial Gardens Crematory offers compassionate guidance, beautiful facilities, and a lasting legacy of peace and dignity.
