Lincoln Memorial Funeral Home and Lincoln Memorial Park have been a part of the greater Portland community since 1906. The cemetery was originally founded as Mount Scott Park Cemetery, on the slopes of Mount Scott. The property’s first structure was a stone building that served as the administrative offices. It was recently used to film a short segment for the popular TV show "Grimm." In 1914, a crematory was built on the cemetery property. In 1926, the mausoleum was built, and the name of the cemetery officially changed to Lincoln Memorial Park.
In 1992, Lincoln Memorial Funeral Home opened at Lincoln Memorial Park, adding vital convenience and simplicity when planning final arrangements.
Located on Mount Scott, the 430-acre Lincoln Memorial Park is a pastoral place of century-old trees and rolling hills. On quiet days, you can catch glimpses of the deer and geese, many making their homes on the beautiful grounds. Annual blooming flowers scattered throughout the gardens create beautiful spots for reflection. The cemetery property also affords magnificent views of downtown Portland.
Committal Services Available
Three covered committal shelters allow families who want an outdoor experience to have that while remaining protected from the elements. Each shelter holds 30 guests. There is also a beautiful chapel located inside the cemetery's mausoleum that seats approximately 60 guests.
A Range of Burial Options
Lincoln Memorial Park offers a range of interment options for in-ground burial, as well as
mausoleums, columbaria, crypts, cremation niches and benches, private and semiprivate estates, and scattering gardens. The cemetery allows for flush-to-the-ground markers, upright granite monuments and estate monuments.
An indoor community mausoleum, in the center of the park, provides for climate-controlled entombment. The front doors of the building are made of bronze, and the terraces and corridors are lined with imported marble. Within the mausoleum are several ornate stained-glass windows, a beautiful fountain and a chapel.
The Colonnades, built in the 1950s, is our outdoor mausoleum. Updated in 2010, the beautiful complex offers sweeping views of the Pacific Northwest. Newly expanded Maplewood Cremation Garden includes columbaria, cremation benches and cremation niches. Dedicated to the Chinese and Vietnamese populations, Imperial Garden offers expansive views of the cemetery grounds.
