My heart broke when I went to Rest Haven today to visit the graves of 5 family members…read more The grass is brown & the one employee told me it was all EWEB's fault, because EWEB had cut off the water. Hmmmm. Then he told me it would be too costly to water the lawns. Hmmmm. I asked him if the Wiper family still owned Rest Haven. He, the one employee, said "Yes," the Wipers are still involved. I will be calling EWEB, the Wipers & the local media to report the sad state that Rest Haven is in. Mr. Van Leuven, the one employee, answered my question about the condition of the cemetery very defensively saying "Rest Haven is a not for profit cemetery & mausoleum & funeral home & you are free to remove your loved ones if you aren't happy with what we have here!" WHAT?!?!?! That was hardly the answer I expected!

No one here, gets out alive---Jim Morrison…read more The coolest cemetery you will ever go to with so much history of Oregon and Eugene. So the founder of Eugene aka Eugene himself is buried here along with his wife Mary aka Eugene and Mary. They were living here as outsiders with their kids for it was all Native American folks besides them. Eugene most have been very different back then. Also to note Whiteaker aka Oregon's first governor and his large family is buried here in a most unusual tomb aka most unusual tomb I have seen on Turtle Island aka North America and second only to my walkabout in Egypt. Whiteaker is what Eugene's funky and cool neighborhood Whiteaker aka the Whit is named after aka where I once ran a Mysore yoga program for a hot minute near the Red Barn. This cemetery is mysterious, beautiful, and enchanted in an amazing natural setting with nature and all the big trees like jonsi and alex.

I have grown up in Masonic organizations--my grandparents joined in the 50s, my mom, sister, and I…read morewere all in Masonic youth groups, and my mom and I are members of one of the adult appendant organizations. I say all that to just share how surprised I am that I didn't know there was a Masonic cemetery in Eugene until about 10 years ago, and even though I know the Masons have not been involved in the cemetery for decades until recent years, I'm still surprised it never came up in a newsletter, discussion, meeting, or anything that I attended in Eugene or throughout the state. But they do tours of the Hope Abbey mausoleum on the last Sunday of every month, and since we had no special plans on Easter my mom and I took the baby on a walk through the cemetery. It was really interesting to see the mausoleum. It was made in Egyptian Revival style, as was popular at the time; mausoleum burials were en vogue at the time it was completed in 1914. The building was severely neglected for many years, but was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 which I'm sure has helped in its restoration. There are still crypts available here (it was funny to see slips of tape with "available" written on them), and there are some that have been set aside for folks (I saw one with a name that was so familiar, and then I realized that it was the owners of the Eugene Foodies Facebook group). There's one entire section that is owned by the family that owns Thistledown, with placements from the early days of the abbey. The restoration of the place has been incredibly well done. The cemetery was established at the request of the city by Eugene Lodge #11. It was interesting to learn that the lodge did not have the "resources" to care for the cemetery, because as someone who parked cars at football games here for about 10 years as a member of the youth organization and having to turn over 65% of the proceeds to the lodge, I'm curious how that was possible but ok. It's been under the care of the Eugene Masonic Cemetery Association, which is unaffiliated with the Masonic fraternity, for about 30 years now. Given the age of the cemetery, you can't drive in the cemetery but there's parking in the neighborhood and lots of walking paths in the cemetery itself. Obviously it's a historic site; the oldest formally established in the city and it's one of the oldest historic sites in the county, incorporated in the same year Oregon gained statehood. Once upon a time family plots of 10 lots each were available for $15 ($517 in 2023 funds, which is still a major bargain). There are only a few in-ground spots available but the have a few cremation gardens here. When it opened there were no trees here but if you visit you'll see that's far from the case now. Landscaping is an important part of the restoration plan here and there's a focus on native plants, with over 100 species on site. There are some activities here like the opening of the mausoleum, and in October they've held a concert series called Music to Die For for several years. You can also do a self-guided walking tour of the place; there are guides in the cemetery or you may be able to find it on their website. When we were here we happened upon three Easter eggs, which cracked us up and couldn't have been a coincidence since it was Easter... but we also saw some folks jogging through the cemetery, a man reading, and others just wandering through. There are many notable Eugene residents buried here, like Skinner after whom the town is made; Oregon's first governor; early important folks affiliated with the university; and more recent prominent folks like Ruth Bascom, who was once the city's mayor (and whose son removed my gallbladder when I was a teen, #sixdegrees). If you're interested in history or looking for quiet place to meander, this could be a good spot.
