Baby Haven, the urn garden and niche walls are still available.

The Kirkland Cemetery is operated by the City of Kirkland and is located at the corner of NE 80th Street and 120th Avenue. It is one of the few municipal facilities of its kind in the Puget Sound area. Over the past century, nearly 4,500 people have been buried here, including some of Kirkland's early pioneers. Improvements completed in 1994 increased the capacity of the cemetery by about 3,500.

Acceptable Items for Gravesites

Only cut flowers, wreaths, potted plants, floral offerings and flags may be placed on any grave or lot. They may be removed by the groundskeeper when their condition is detrimental to the area. Objects such as boxes, toys, or shells are not permitted. Artificial flowers are not permitted during the mowing season. For further details, please read our cemetery policies.

Markers

All markers must be set in concrete, flush to the ground, by the City (on certain lots upright markers are allowed). As part of the perpetual care provided by Kirkland Cemetery, the City will repair or replace the concrete setting if it becomes cracked. For further details, please read our cemetery policies.
