ca. 1950. Aerial view of Mountain View Cemetery on Steilacoom Blvd.; photograph taken probably in the fall of 1950. The Pacific Naval Advance Base, also known as the Lakewood Navy Yard, lies across the street. Mountain View was a very large memorial park; among its facilities included a cemetery, funeral home, chapel, crematorium and mausoleum. According to an advertisement in the 1951 City Directory, a mourner could place complete responsibility in the very capable hands of Mountain View.
