💧🌱 New Water System = Greener Grass at West Hills Memorial Park
! 🌱💧

We’re proud to announce the upgrade of our irrigation system here at West Hills Cemetery — one of many improvements under our new local ownership.

This new system helps us better care for the grounds, keeping the grass greener and the environment more peaceful and well-maintained for the families who visit. It’s part of our continued effort to restore and enhance the beauty of this sacred space.

Thank you for your ongoing support as we invest in the future of West Hills — one upgrade at a time.

Meet Theo — our loyal, four-legged team member and the heart of West Hills Memorial Park!

This month, we’re proud to recognize Theo as our Employee of the Month for his unmatched dedication to comforting families, boosting team morale, and keeping watch over the grounds with a wagging tail and kind eyes.

Whether he's greeting visitors, supervising lunch breaks, or just bringing smiles to our staff and guests, Theo reminds us every day that compassion comes in many forms — and sometimes with fur and four paws.

Way to go, Theo! 🐶❤️

We hope everyone had a joyful and safe Fourth of July. As the fireworks fade and the celebrations settle, we reflect with gratitude on the freedoms we enjoy and the sacrifices made to preserve them.

At West Hills Memorial Park, we remain honored to care for the final resting places of so many who served our country with pride and courage. May we continue to carry the spirit of unity and remembrance every day of the year.
