Nestled amongst the trees and meadows of the verdant Tesuque Valley just north of Santa Fe, NM rests All Creatures Memorial Park. Inspired by the desire for an expression of lasting love by two friends who lost beloved pets, this park creates a unique place where people can commemorate and celebrate the life and passing of the special creatures in their lives. (Unfortunately, because of local regulations, we cannot do burials.)
Designed by local architect
Alfred von Bachmayr, the park is composed of a series of freestanding tiled walls in a spiral pattern to create an ambience of peace and tranquility. Serving as a warm welcome to the park is a two-sided wall featuring St. Francis of Assisi and an assortment of animals. Artist
Elizabeth Hill has created the art work for the St. Francis walls and will continue to design other related walls upon which memorial tiles will be intermingled with the artistic backdrops.
