Our History

Cremation Options

Cremation Options

Sunset Memorial Park was developed as a new concept in 1954. Becoming the first and only Memorial Park in Western Nebraska. The concept came from the public wanting a more park like atmosphere instead of traditional cemeteries. With the flat markers, everyone also becomes equal. Our unique Gardens along with the only Mausoleum in hundreds of miles makes Sunset Memorial Park one of a kind.
