About Memorial Cemetery

A Fine Final Resting Place

At Memorial Cemetery we believe that the end of life should be just as beautiful as the beginning. Whether youre saying goodbye to a loved one or visiting a friend who has already passed on, our cemetery is a place where you can celebrate the wonder of life in Fremont, NE.

The main focus in the cemetery is the Tower of Memories. Constructed of Indiana limestone, this centrally located tower constructed is the most outstanding piece of architecture at Memorial Cemetery Association. In this tower, there are a large number of beautiful stained glass windows, most of which have been the gifts of lot owners. At one time, it housed the Deagan Chimes, but now these chimes can be seen at the cemetery office. The tower has a small chapel on the main floor. We also erected niches for cremated remains that surround the outside of the tower.

Our graveyard is secluded and well maintained to ensure a peaceful experience for every visitor. When you lay someone special to rest, you want to know that their burial ground is somewhere where you can visit for quiet, personal reflection.
