Who We Are
In 1927, a group of San Angelo civic leaders set aside this gentle rise on Arden Road as the town’s first garden cemetery, a place where families could find shade and peace instead of crowded churchyards. For almost a century, the park remained with the founding family, expanding row by row as neighbors trusted their stories to the red West Texas soil.
When our family purchased the grounds directly from the original stewards, we accepted more than just the deed paperwork - we received their promise to guard every memory with kindness. Today, a proud Latina leadership team carries that promise forward. We still salute service members with zero-cost plots reserved for United States veterans, and we cradle innocence in our grounds where infants under two may rest without charge.
Wander the paths and you will hear love in many languages: a Medal of Honor recipient, Finnis Dawson McCleery’s final role call, a mother’s soft lullaby, the friendly greeting of our groundskeepers who treat every name as kin. Belvedere and Pioneer Memorial Parks remain family-owned, rooted in a 1927 tradition and growing warmer with every generation, preserving love, history, and hope for San Angelo families.
