General Info

Our professional staff has years of experience caring for families from all walks of life. We are leaders in our profession, with dedication to service and professional integrity. Resthaven was established in 1947 by the Kenneth R. White family. Over the years many services have been added to Resthaven. In the late 1950s Resthaven built the first family mausoleum and columbarium. In the 60s Resthaven built the first crematory in the Oklahoma City area. The Little Chapel of the Roses was also constructed in 1960 which has been the home of funerals, several start up churches, and weddings. In 1970 the first lawn crypts in south Oklahoma City were built. With the 80s came expansion; an additional 113 acres, only 68 of which has been developed. Additional mausoleum buildings, the garden of the Holy Family, the Garden of the Prophets, the Garden of Hope, the new Veterans Garden and the Garden of Valor were then introduced. In 1986 the elegant Resthaven Funeral Home was built on the north east corner of the cemetery. The 20,000 square foot facility is home to Oklahoma City's most beautiful and peaceful chapel, equipped with a modern state-of-the-art audio and video projection system. The cemetery and prearrangement offices as well as the administration and general offices for Resthaven are also conveniently located in this beautiful facility. In the 1990s the Garden of Serenity was developed. Beautiful granite constructed niche columbaria were also added in the Garden of Serenity for families that desire to properly and respectfully entomb cremated remains. Resthaven has twice been chosen to host the venue for the touring display of the Vietnam Wall Memorial. After the Murrah Building bombing in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, eleven of those that perished in the attack were buried in Resthaven Memory Gardens. These eleven victims are respectfully honored with a Resthaven Memorial Bench that includes their name and picture. Later in 1995, Resthaven developed the Garden of Remembrance, specifically designed to accommodate beautiful upright granite memorials. The University of Oklahoma Health Science Center inters individuals who have donated themselves for medical research at Resthaven. Resthaven has been nationally recognized by the National Funeral Directors Association with the prestigious 'Pursuit of Excellence' award, attained by offering unique programming, outstanding accomplishment in funeral service and innovative achievement in the fields of professional, educational and community service. Resthaven is the only funeral home in Oklahoma City to hold this honor. Caring for our community is a responsibility we take very seriously. We pay close attention to detail and strive very hard to listen to your family's needs and tailor the funeral and cemetery service specifically around a life lived. No other funeral home or cemetery has the ability to customize services and merchandise like Resthaven Funeral Home and Memory Gardens.
