Sunset Hills Memorial Park & Mortuary
Sunset Hills was founded by Chet Hitt in 1995 after a friend remarked that it was a shame that his Mother couldn’t be buried in her home town of Apple Valley. The process was long and arduous… Cemeteries are rarely started from scratch anymore. Mr. Hitt, however, had a vision and nothing was going to stand in his way. He left the family plumbing business and after six years of government red tape, began construction of a project many said couldn’t be done.
One early supporter was the “Queen of the West”, Dale Evans. During her beloved husband Roy Rogers later days, Dale often found solace in the peace and beauty of the Memorial Park. It is said that Dale wrote much of her last book from a spot in the park overlooking the valley below.
When Roy Rogers passed on, his burial service was one of the first milestones for Sunset Hills. With a huge crowd of family, friends and fans in attendance, the service was an honor for the Cemetery and set the tone for the quality of service delivered by Sunset Hills
Shortly after the passing of Roy, Dale Evans approached Chet Hitt about the idea of building a chapel in honor of her late husband. Mr. Hitt agreed, and on February 19, 2007 the Roy Rogers – Dale Evans officially opened.
Today, Sunset Hills is an award winning facility, recognized as one of the most unique and beautiful cemeteries in the West. The Desert Estate Gardens and one-of-a-kind landscaping have garnered attention throughout the nation and the world with international media with news coverage from as far away as Asia and Europe.
The sunset hills cemetery in Eugene, Oregon offers an electric tricycle hearse for those who prefer an environmentally friendly funeral.
