Our History

Our firm was founded in 1960 as a result of Mr. Wilson of the Wilson and Kratzer Mortuaries in Richmond California seeing a need for a memorial park for Richmond, and the surrounding communities. He discovered a sizable area of land with scenic mountain and tremendous bay views along the east side of US 80. Many years later, this location has seen renovations and changes, but has always been and will continue to be an integral part of this community.

Over the years, the original mission of the firm hasn't changed. We have always intended to provide the best, most professional services, complemented by the finest products. In keeping with the vision of being the memorial park of choice of our community, Rolling Hills Memorial Park has provided interment options for families of all faiths and nationalities. Today, we pride ourselves on being current with the major changes in cemetery estate development- and bring those innovations and memorialization options to our client families with integrity and insight.
