The park is on 1st Avenue between Cedar Rapids and Marion and includes a wooded cemetery, a natural limestone funeral home, a modern cremation center, a full-service reception facility, a full-service flower shop, and a chapel and mausoleum patterned after old world churches of England.

The park is 82 acres (330,000 m2) in size, and offers traditional burial, lawn crypts, indoor mausoleum entombment and cremation gardens.

In 1929, Carl K. Linge bought a farm between Cedar Rapids and Marion and began planning the cemetery.

David died in 1988 and his son, Carl John Linge became president of the cemetery association.
