STORIES WITHIN THE STONES Episode 5 Exploring Memorial Park Funeral Home Cemetery & Crystal Shrine Grotto in Memphis, Tennessee
We wanted to show the kids the man-made grotto located in a cemetery while we were in Memphis for one night. This is what the cemetery website has to say about the grotto; Founded in 1925 by E. Clovis Hinds, an entrepreneur, Memorial Park’s most outstanding feature is its beauty and naturally rolling terrain. Much of the 1930s were spent transforming Memorial Park into the premier cemetery in the Mid-South. Several features were added to the landscape to enhance its beauty. Just inside the entrance is a gracefully curved reflecting pool and a three-tiered fountain.

As you drive to the east of the fountain, you will cross the stone bridges and come across the first of several fascinating constructions by Mexican artist, Dionicio Rodriguez. These works include Annie Laurie’s Wishing Chair and Rose Garden, The Wishing Well and the Fountain of Youth. The high point of Rodriguez’s work is the Crystal Shrine Grotto, which Mr. Hinds described as the only man-made crystal cave in the world.

Looking for a unique cemetery, then this is a great one to visit. Looking for something free to do in Memphis, look no further.
