Since our founding in 1965 by Foy Bryant, Mount Vernon Mortuary has served Greater Sacramento-area families. Through the decades our services have evolved but our commitment to exceptional service has never changed. Our funeral home includes a crematory with a witnessing room.
Mount Vernon Mortuary has two chapels. The main chapel, Chapel of the Valley, is a traditional space with pews that seat approximately 250 guests. This non-denominational space features an exquisite ribbed vaulted ceiling and two large golden chandeliers. Natural light floods in during daytime services. The more intimate Family Chapel can accommodate 50 guests and is located on the first floor of the funeral home.
All of the funeral services held at Mount Vernon Mortuary are designed to meet the unique needs of each individual and assist families through one of the most personal and challenging stages of life.
Our dedicated funeral directors can find inspiration almost anywhere—a favorite song, hobby or even an iconic style—and turn that inspiration into a funeral service filled with thoughtful and meaningful details. Celebrations could include a loved one’s passion for kayaking on Folsom Lake or cooking special meals for family and friends. There’s truly no limit to the special tribute we can create.
Whether your plan includes a tradition funeral, personalized memorial service or transfer to anywhere in the world, it’s our honor to help you arrange a celebration that reflects the personality and passions of your loved one or yourself.
On-Site Crematory
Mount Vernon Mortuary has a private on-site crematory, which means your loved one never leaves our care. Cremation is important in certain religions and cultures, and more and more people are choosing cremation over more traditional burial options, but most people aren’t familiar with all of their choices when it comes to cremation. You may choose a direct cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind; a funeral with the body present, followed by cremation; or a cremation followed by a cemetery service or a celebration of life. If you wish, cremated remains can be interred at Mount Vernon Memorial Park.
Mount Vernon Memorial Park
Founded in 1965, Mount Vernon Memorial Park is a 49-acre cemetery offering a peaceful final resting place. The cemetery provides families with a peaceful setting amid the hustle and bustle of Fair Oaks.
Numerous magnolia, maple, crepe myrtle and elm trees provide shade to the cemetery on hot summer days. The well-landscaped property also features lovely annual blooming flowers and nature gardens, which make for ideal spots to take a moment for reflection.
Tranquil Gardens
The main entrance of Mount Vernon Memorial Park features two large fountains, a statue of George Washington (the cemetery is named after his Virginia home) and a replica of the Liberty Bell. The cemetery grounds also feature a monument that honors lives lost on 9/11 as well as a veterans garden with cannons and flags representing all military branches.
Among the first of its kind in the Sacramento area, the modern Cremation Memorial Garden features flowing streams, elegant flower gardens, granite benches and scenic waterfall formations.
Located in the Garden of Four Gospels are four 20-foot-tall mosaic art pieces. Built and assembled from Italian tiles, each depicts a different scene from the Bible: Jesus and his flock, the baptism of Jesus, Jesus with children and Jesus at the Sea of Galilee.
