Restland Memorial Park: A Family Guide to Burial and Cremation Options

For families considering Restland Memorial Park for a loved one’s final resting place, this guide covers what burial there costs and how pricing works, the sections and requirements to know about, how we coordinate the day, practical visiting notes, and — for those who want it — the cemetery’s history.

Vargas-London coordinates burials at Restland regularly, but we do not own or operate the cemetery, earn no referral fee, and hold no interest in any plot you choose. Restland is five minutes from our door — but if Laurel Land’s pricing or a family plot elsewhere serves you better, we will tell you so.

What does burial at Restland Memorial Park cost in 2026?

Honestly: the cemetery sets these prices, they change, and published third-party numbers go stale quickly — so we quote none here. Current plot, niche, and opening/closing prices are available directly from the cemetery office, and when you work with us we obtain the current figures for you, in writing, before anything is committed. Restland’s scale means it spans the full spread — standard lawn sections at one end, premium gardens and a large mausoleum complex at the other.

As DFW-market context from our cost-of-dying guide: in-ground plots across Dallas–Fort Worth typically run $2,500–$8,000 (premium garden and feature plots considerably more), opening and closing $1,500–$2,800 per interment, a vault or grave liner $700–$3,500 where required, cremation niches $1,200–$5,500, and monuments from about $1,500 through a separate monument company.

Whatever the cemetery’s current numbers are, our role costs nothing extra: cemetery charges are paid to the cemetery at cost, with no coordination fee and no markup from Vargas-London.

Which sections and requirements should families know about?

Restland is one of the largest cemeteries in Dallas County — roughly 250 acres — and its sections matter more than at most cemeteries:

• Designated Jewish sections for traditional and Conservative burials, where plain wood caskets and burial customs are accommodated.
• Catholic and Christian sections, plus general lawn sections open to any family.
• Cremation gardens and columbarium niches for cremated remains, including companion niches for two urns.
• A substantial mausoleum complex with modern entombment options; eye-level crypts price highest.
• A vault or grave liner is typically required for in-ground burial, though specific section policies vary — we confirm before anything is purchased.
• Religious sections can carry eligibility requirements (for example, Jewish identity for some Jewish sections); Restland’s office confirms eligibility by section.

How does Vargas-London coordinate a burial at Restland Memorial Park?

We handle the cemetery end to end: first contact and section selection, a written comparison of the options, timing between the church or chapel service and the committal, transport and procession (with police escort if requested), casket or urn requirements, vault ordering, and the monument referral afterward. The graveside service itself typically runs 15–30 minutes; the cemetery completes the burial after the family departs, and the marker follows from the monument company some weeks later.

Because Restland shares our Greenville Avenue corridor, a chapel service at our facility followed by committal at Restland involves minimal procession time — a practical comfort for elderly attendees. There is no upcharge for any of it — our published packages cover cemetery coordination at every DFW cemetery. Questions cost nothing either: (214) 550-7369, answered 24/7.

What should visiting families know?

Most DFW cemetery grounds are open from roughly 7 AM to dusk daily, with free visitor parking; call ahead to confirm hours. Flower policies vary by cemetery and section — fresh flowers are almost always welcome, while artificial arrangements, glass, and candles are often restricted. Ground maintenance is the cemetery’s job, not the family’s, and many cemeteries offer holiday flower-placement programs. Restland’s grounds are large enough that first-time visitors should note the section and lot number before visiting; confirm flower-placement policies for your section before the first visit.

What is the history of Restland Memorial Park?

Restland was established in the mid-20th century and has expanded continuously since, becoming one of the largest cemeteries in Dallas County. It is home to many multi-generational Dallas families, and its designated Jewish, Catholic, and Christian sections reflect decades of serving the whole of North Dallas. The large mausoleum complex is a later addition that anchors its above-ground options.
