Pasadena Cemetery Association

A place of family tradition?
Nestled below the picturesque San Gabriel Mountains above Pasadena, we are a location unmatched in Southern California. We are one of the few remaining family-operated cemetery/mortuary properties in the area. Our tradition of service was established in the nineteenth century, yet it offers the full personalized service made available by today's technology. We invite you to visit our grounds 365 days a year, from 8 am to 5 pm. Professional funeral staff are available 24 hours a day.

Pasadena Cemetery Association, located in Altadena just above Pasadena, is one of Southern California’s last family-operated cemeteries, mortuary, and crematory properties. Founded in the 1880s and still run by descendants of Levi W. Giddings, it offers dignified, personalized services rooted in tradition and supported by modern technology. The grounds, open daily, feature historic mausoleums—including the renowned Mountain View and Pasadena Mausoleums—alongside art collections and arboretum-style landscaping, providing a serene and meaningful setting for remembrance.
