Palm Eastern Mortuary & Cemetery is honored to
dedicate this one of a kind garden to our Asian community.
-Ceremonial Area- The entrance to the walkway leading to the plaza is flanked by two fu dogs. The walk-way, lined with soldier palms, leads to the Garden of Eternity Plaza. This feature offers a place for ceremonies and has ceremonial features added to enhance it use.
-Interment Options- Memorials in the garden will consist of both upright and flat memorial options. Private and semi-private interment options are also available.
-Annual Events- In celebration of traditional Asian customs, the Chinese New Year and Ching Ming, and other special days of observance will be held at the Garden of Eternity.
-A Garden with Harmony-
Garden of Eternity has been surveyed by local Feng Shui Master Lin Huang, trained at the Taoist Temple in Taiwan, so that it meets the laws of Feng Shui.
The garden is positioned in the South Eastern area of the cemetery and will overlook Legacy Lake and have a clear view of the Las Vegas mountain range in the Northwest.
This arrangement will best benefit from the Yin manifestations of quiet, darkness, moonlight, and stillness—resulting in a positive response from visiting friends and loved ones, who experience the compatible aura.
