ForestWalk

The Auburn Mountain View Cemetery, nestled in a forested area, offers a peaceful and contemplative environment for those choosing cremation plots. ForestWalk Phase I is a cremation garden that was established in 2006, offering in-ground plots set within the tranquil woods, with a quiet retreat for reflection and memorialization of loved ones. Paths meander through trees, winding among the plots, providing a sense of solitude and connection to nature.

ForestWalk Phase II was completed in 2012 and focused around a 75-foot water feature that ends with a cascading fall into a pool with fish. The gentle sound of birdsong and the distant hum of a creek creates a calming atmosphere. The trails lead you through the Noble fir trees, and other northwest plantings, including Japanese maples, yews, forest grass, blood grass, mondo grass, Mugo pines, bonsai black pine and so on. The area includes more than 375 urn plots and four 16-niche columbariums that overlook the cascade mountain range and the Auburn Valley.

In 2016, a new 95-niche round shaped columbarium was placed. The eagle on top and columbarium are made from granite with granite foundation.

Memorials in ForestWalk include unique upright options, engraved benches, boulders, and birdbaths.

ForestWalk Phase III was divided into two parts. The first one was completed at the end of Fall 2024 and continues to offer unique cremation placement options. This new area includes more than 350 single & double cremation plots with a wide range of memorial options to choose from for your loved ones.  A flowing water feature and bridges that connect beautifully landscaped walking paths, make this area serene and peaceful. Each cremation berm is thoughtfully designed to blend harmoniously with the surroundings.

The natural beauty and the reverence of this space create a perfect setting for remembering loved ones, surrounded by the eternal serenity of the forest.
