Spruce Knoll, completed in 1996 and expanded in 2015, was designed as a woodland garden for cremated remains. Spruce Knoll’s canopy of spruce and pine trees create a cathedral-like setting while a succession of blooming perennials and large evergreen shrubs further enhance the woodland garden. Renowned Garden Designer Julie Moir Messervy, working closely with the horticultural staff of Mount Auburn, created Spruce Knoll for those who desire simplicity using nature as the primary memorial rather than an elaborate monument.
