Welcome to Alto-Reste Park!
We have met with thousands of people regarding final arrangements, and they are always thankful they’ve made their decisions sooner rather than later. Pre-planning helps you avoid putting unnecessary stress on those you love and prevents them from emotional overspending on your behalf later.We invite you to learn more about the wisdom and logic of pre-planning final arrangements:

BEFORE: There are many decisions that must be made when there is a death in the family. At Alto-Reste Park, we can help you plan in advance so your loved ones will not be burdened with these decisions regarding your final arrangements.DURING: At the time of need, our staff will be here to support you any way that we can. We have the experience and insights that can help bring comfort during a difficult time and ensure that the life of your loved one is memorialized in a meaningful way.
AFTER: We know that losing someone you love is never easy. Our staff is here to help you navigate any challenge that you may face. We also offer a 13-week GriefShare seminar twice each year. GriefShare is a place where you can be around others who empathize with how you feel and the pain of your loss.
About Our Park
Alto-Reste Park, one of the most beautiful burial parks in Pennsylvania, has approximately 100 carefully developed acres in the over 325 acre park-like setting. Located on the edge of one of the most beautiful valleys in central Pennsylvania, the name “Alto-Reste Park” is particularly appropriate, since no matter how the suburbs of Altoona develop, nothing can impair the natural character of the property, which is materially enhanced by several acres of very attractive woodland.

Mr. Good carefully planned the site of Alto-Reste Park so that “the remains of the departed would rest amidst scenes of cultured beauty in harmony with the environments.” With great forethought and attention to detail, he purchased the initial plot of land for the purpose of creating one of the most beautiful burial parks in the state of Pennsylvania.
