Complimentary Obituary
Though Cecil E. Bryan designed more than eighty mausoleums throughout his lifetime, he considered Mountain View Mausoleum his masterpiece. So much so that when he passed away in 1951, it was there that he chose to be interred. And it’s not very hard to see why.
The mausoleum’s focal point is easily its 180-foot-long Great Gallery featuring an ornate vaulted ceiling hand-painted by artist Martin Syvertsen. The massive mural, depicting a frescoed version of the story of Christianity, took four years to complete and is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
The Mausoleum also boasts stained glass windows created by Judson Studios, surfaces fashioned from more than 64 varieties of Italian marble, and intricate tile work. Mountain View is a true hidden gem.
The Mausoleum is now part of Mountain View Cemetery, which opened in 1882. Its long corridors, arched ceilings, marble surfaces, and intricate stained-glass windows spill rainbows of light onto the walls and floors. This magnificent mausoleum is as much a work of art as it is a historic resting place.

Currently, we have over 138,000 records between ground burial, mausoleum niches, and crypts along with cremations and removals that have occurred over the last 134 years.
We know families have many choices when it comes to honoring a loved one. What sets Mountain View apart is over a century of trusted, personal care. Here's a small sample of what the families we've served have to say.
Losing my father was hard enough — Mountain View made every arrangement feel handled with genuine care. The staff walked us through each decision without ever rushing us, and the grounds themselves brought us so much comfort.
We pre-planned with Mountain View two years ago and it gave our whole family peace of mind. When the time came, there was nothing left to decide — just time to grieve. The mausoleum is breathtaking and exactly where she wanted to rest.
The history of this place is incredible — over a century of caring for families in our community. Our funeral director was patient, kind, and helped us plan a service that truly honored my mother's life.
We visit every Sunday and the grounds are always immaculate — the trees, the flowers, the quiet. It means everything to have a place this beautiful to remember my husband.
Finding my grandfather's grave through their online records was so easy, and the property maps made visiting simple. The staff even helped us track down other family members buried nearby. Truly grateful.
