About Us

Magnolia Memorial Park is a non-profit cemetery. It was purchased by Tapestry Christian Fellowship (previously Rose Drive Baptist Church) of Yorba Linda, California on November 16, 2001.  
 
People frequently ask, “Why would a church purchase a cemetery?” This is a valid question and, in fact, the congregation had no plans to purchase a cemetery. However, once the opportunity was presented to the church it became clear that this could open the door for a very effective bereavement ministry. After extensive research and discussion the congregation voted unanimously to secure the property.
 
Magnolia Memorial Park is committed to providing families with first-rate burial options at reasonable prices, in an environment that is beautiful and dignified.   Foundational to our commitment to quality and to dedication to the families of those interred here, are the careful selection and training of our staff and the regular maintenance of our property and facilities.
 
We strive to treat every person with dignity and grace.  You will not find a more positive cemetery atmosphere than Magnolia Memorial Park.

Our History

Magnolia had fallen on hard times before Tapestry Christian Fellowship bought it in 2001.  The church has been painstakingly restoring the site, which shelters the graves of relative county newcomers and county pioneers, unknown and well known.  Lampsons (or Lamsons) and Chapmans are here. So is a single local victim of the 1933 Long Beach earthquake. A murderer is rumored to be buried under its shady trees. So is Loving Coker, a decorated Confederate veteran, who still has relatives living in Huntington Beach.
