Metro cemeteries

Connect to Oregon history in Metro’s beautiful historic cemeteries. At the intersection of the past and the present, you’ll find groves of tall trees, epic views of river valleys, quiet corners amidst a busy city. Each cemetery offers its own sense of place and peace.

Most of Metro’s 14 historic cemeteries are open for placement of urns and caskets. They span Multnomah County, from scenic Corbett to the top of Sylvan Hill in southwest Portland.
