Our story
As one of the oldest and most recognizable landmarks in the area, Pinecrest Memorial Gardens & Crematory is a stately ode to Springs history. Established in 1975, our funeral home and cemetery has evolved greatly over the years to accommodate the evolving needs of our community. Yet our commitment to service remains the same. Even as we modernize our services and facilities, we stay true to our belief that honoring and celebrating life is deeply sacred and personal.
