Our Cemetery
Steilacoom Lodge has maintained a cemetery on the outskirts of the town of Steilacoom since 1883. The cemetery can be found at the intersection of Farwest Drive and Masonic Road in what is now the town of Lakewood. The 11 acre plot of land for the cemetery was obtained from the Orr family, who are interred at the western edge of the property.
Several of the town’s most notable citizens are buried here, including the Bair family, the Light family, Thomas Chambers, Royal Gove, the Saltar family, and several others. The Masonic graves are located in the northern half of the cemetery, while the southern half contains a non-Masonic section. The upkeep of the cemetery is provided by the members of Steilacoom Lodges.
The cemetery is kept secured by fence and lock in order to keep vandals out and preserve the dignity and character of the cemetery. It is a solemn, peaceful, and beautiful place.
Arrangements can be made to visit the cemetery by emailing the Master or Secretary of Steilacoom Lodge.
