Liquid cremation? Human composting? They could be available at Tri-Valley’s cemetery of the future

Monte Vista Memorial Gardens is set for development in unincorporated north Livermore.

Tucked away in eastern Alameda County is a sprawling 47-acre site that will soon be transformed into the cemetery of the future, expected to serve the Tri-Valley and surrounding region for the next 200 years. It would be the first new cemetery in Alameda County in three decades.

Many of the cemeteries in Alameda County were developed in the 19th century. Most recently, the Five Pillars Farm Cemetery, which provides services for Muslim burials in Livermore, was founded in 1996. Before that, Cedar Lawn Memorial Park in Fremont was started in 1967. “There really hasn’t been a good cemetery dedicated to the Jewish community in this area, ever,” Kahn said on a recent tour of the cemetery site, as the sound of traffic blew by on the interstate. “There’s a little teeny section — that’s how it’s generally been.”

But getting to this point hasn’t been without controversy, as local open-space advocates and the city of Livermore expressed opposition to the cemetery plan.
