About Countryside

We are a natural burial cemetery near San Antonio, Texas, dedicated to providing a highly dignified, eco-friendly and affordable alternative to conventional burials. Countryside welcomes families and individuals to come for a self-tour or set up a personal appointment where they can have their questions answered and even select and pre-purchase their plot.

We work closely with a licensed, independent, bilingual Funeral Director who provides compassionate Mortuary Transport and other services needed when a loved one has died. We can also work with any funeral home of your choice, if they offer the Natural Burial option.

At Countryside Memorial Park, our mission is to help families give their loved one the perfect farewell.

When Someone Dies, What Should I Do?

When a death occurs, please call us day or night, as soon as it has been pronounced by a nurse, physician or Justice of the Peace. We will connect you with an independent, licensed funeral director who is an expert in Natural Burial. We work closely with them as a team and can help you every step of the way.

If you are already working with another funeral home, please let us know as soon as possible and we’ll help guide them in the Natural Burial Process. (512) 203-9379

Testimonials

This natural and serene setting soothed our souls during a very difficult time. This family-owned memorial park is a historic site and fully professional as well as affordable. The director's care and compassion was outstanding. The gravesite was ready as promised and staff were on hand to assist with lowering our father into his grave. Everything was easy and wonderful. I highly recommend.

Recently I was one of a small family group at the burial of our elder brother and uncle, William C Harpold Jr, at Countryside Memorial Park in La Vernia TX. What a lovely, perfect Texas day! Here is my cemetery testimonial: We gathered in a flower-strewn field under a gnarled pine tree with grapevine twining through it, sang the old familiar and some new songs, recited scripture, poems, and tributes, and then held hands as we concluded with “Happy Trails to You.” After that, we each took a turn tossing a shovelful of dirt onto the coffin, adding a few extra shovelfuls for our missing brothers and sisters, some having gone before. I have never been so moved by a burial service. Neil degrasse Tyson says, “just as I have dined upon flora and fauna during my lifetime, [may] my body in death be buried…so that flora and fauna can dine upon it.

“Sunny, I am so thankful Tiffany found this place as I had looked 10 yrs earlier here in San Antonio and surrounding area to come up with not one! It was a bumpy time for Tutti and I with all the arrangement tearing apart thinking we were going to wake up and just add the bows and the few natural textures So I want to thank you and your entire Memorial Park Staff , Genaro all pitching in along with friends if not it would not have happened! Jack loved his flowers and it would had not been the same. Every friend there came up to me and my family said we never knew something like this existed and now I want to be buried this exact way my oldest daughter said on a family thread of my brothers and sisters and cousins that lived in Georgia, Kentucky etc. she said this was the most beautiful and spiritual Life Celebration I have ever experienced! 💔🌹🕊️
