Vista Memory Gardens is more than a burial ground—it is a cherished part of the city's history, where memories are preserved with respect and compassion. We take pride in maintaining a tranquil setting where families can reflect, remember, and find comfort.
The story of Vista Memory Gardens Cemetery began on January 24, 1972, when Dr. Ellsworth E. Hubble and his wife, Virginia I. Hubble, deeded a parcel of land to the City of Truth or Consequences with the stipulation that it be used solely as a burial ground. Upon accepting the 20-acre gift, the City Council established a dedicated committee to name the cemetery and define its care standards.
Thus, Vista Memory Gardens Cemetery was born—not just a burial ground, but a sacred space where memories are tenderly preserved and where families find solace in a setting of dignity and tranquility. The City of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, has committed to perpetual care of this land, ensuring its preservation for generations to come.
On November 13, 1978, the cemetery’s rules and regulations were formally adopted, reinforcing the principles of respectful maintenance and thoughtful stewardship. Vista Memory Gardens is more than a resting place—it is a vital part of the community, where loved ones are honored in a serene and well-kept environment. Here, we honor the past, care for the present, and nurture a legacy for the future, bringing people together in shared reverence for those who came before us.
Vista Memory Gardens holds deep respect for the nation's veterans and proudly upholds traditions of military burial honors. With dedicated sections and dignified markers, we ensure that those who served their country are laid to rest with the gratitude and solemnity they deserve. The cemetery works closely with veterans' organizations to provide proper recognition, including flag ceremonies and other tributes, so that their sacrifice is never forgotten.
