Striving to provide a peaceful and comforting environment for honoring and celebrating loved ones, Cherokee Memorial Park embraced a master plan for adding a chapel and funeral home to the Lodi cemetery.
While separated into two phases, the thoughtful planning and well-considered details achieve a seamless complex of comprehensive funeral services. The clean architectural lines and forms with an honest expression of materials deliver a timeless design. A palette of textural, natural materials, clusters of soft furnishings, and access to ample daylight provide a comforting setting. Large gathering areas offer flexibility to suit family preferences, and dedicated spaces support different cultural traditions. With circulation prioritized, special care ensured the discreet movement of back-of-house services. An expansive glass wall with views of the garden juxtaposed by a decorative redwood wall creates a stunning backdrop for the 250-seat chapel.
The public embraces the property for more than funerals. It is considered a desirable location for weddings and musical performances.
