AFTER WORLD WAR II, THE GEORGE T. REICHNER FAMILY FELT THAT THERE WAS A NEED FOR A MEMORIAL PARK CEMETERY IN THE AREA. ON SEPTEMBER 7, 1946 A LARGE ADVERTISEMENT APPEARED IN THE TAMAQUA EVENING COURIER ANNOUNCING THE ESTABLISHENT OF A NON-SECTARIAN BURIAL ESTATE AND MAUSOLEUM IN THE VILLAGE OF HOMETOWN. THE CEMETERY WAS CALLED SKY-VIEW MEMORIAL PARK....

THE PARK IS MAINTAINED BY OUR OWN FULL-TIME

STAFF. THE USE OF OUR OWN EQUIPMENT ENABLES US TO HAVE A TRULY PERPETUAL CARE CEMETERY. OVER THE YEARS, MUCH OF THE CONTINUED SUCCESS OF OUR CEMETERY IS DUE TO A GROUP OF LOYAL EMPLOYEES. THERE ARE OVER 3000 VETERANS FROM THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR THROUGH THE PERSIAN GULF WAR INTERRED AT SKY-VIEW MEMORIAL PARK. EVERY MEMORIAL DAY,THE CEMETERY STAFF AND THE QUAKAKE AMERICAN LEGION HONOR THE VETERANS WITH A DIGNIFIED SERVICE. THIS TRADITION HAS TAKEN PLACE FOR OVER 60 YEARS. THE CEMETERY IS AT ITS MOST BEAUTIFUL WITH THE MANY FLOWERS AND FLAGS THAT ADORN THE GRAVES. IN OCTOBER 2008, OUR PET CEMETERY WAS OPENED FOR YOUR FAITHFUL FRIENDS. THIS SECTION IS FOR TRADITIONAL AND CREMATION BURIAL OF YOUR LOVING COMPANION. A COLUMBARIUM WAS ERECTED FOR THE CREMATION ENTOMBMENT OF YOUR PET. IN 2011, SKYVIEW MEMORIAL PARK BEGAN TO OFFER FLORAL BOUQUETS AND WINTER WREATHS FOR FAMILIES TO PURCHASE TO HONOR THEIR LOVED ONE'S GRAVESITES. IN 2013 'PARADISE' WAS OPENED AS A SCATTER GARDEN FOR HUMAN CREMAINS. SKY-VIEW MEMORIAL PARK OFFERS AN INTEREST FREE MONTHLY PAYMENT PLAN ON THE PURCHASE OF YOUR BRONZE MEMORIAL AND/OR THE INTERMENT PLAN. THE BRONZE MEMORIAL DOES NOT NEED TO BE INSTALLED UNTIL THE TIME OF NEED. PRE-PLANNING IS A WISE DECISION FOR THE FUTURE. THE PRICE IS LOCKED IN AT THE CURRENT COST AND PROTECTS YOU AGAINST ESCALATING FUNERAL COSTS. For more information about Sky-View Memorial Park, please feel free to visit our website:

The goal for Sky-View Memorial Park is to raise enough funds to place 3,762 sponsored veterans’ wreaths on the headstones of all the local heroes laid to rest there, to ensure that the individuals who served to protect the freedoms of our country will never be forgotten and to bring the community together in patriotic commemoration.

If you wish to sponsor a wreath and wish to mail a check or money order, it should be made payable to “Wreaths Across America” and mailed to:
Eric Zizelmann, 500 East Broad Street, Tamaqua, PA 18252

*Sky-View would like to introduce our new*
Family Columbarium

Have you ever had a conversation with your family about death and how you wish to be interred? Are you interested in following traditional burial practices or are you leaning more towards the idea of cremation? Have you ever considered purchasing a family columbarium?

The family columbarium is a new concept in many North American cemeteries. Like a traditional family crypt or tomb (which is designed for full body burial), the family columbarium is designed to inter family cremains in a smaller more personalized niche structure. Some families prefer this cremation interment option to in-ground burial or the larger commercial columbaria now offered in many cemeteries.

Something you may not have considered, is that the family columbarium in some cases can be more economical than traditional in-ground burial, as some standard family columbaria are designed to hold up to 8 urns. Only one plot needs to be purchased. Only one monument (the columbarium) needs to be purchased. Onsite engravings or bronze plaques can be added to the columbarium as needed.

Steeped in family tradition and true devotion, relatives often chose to be interred within close proximity to one another. The connections we have with family runs deep. Holding onto those close ties is now possible for those who choose above ground cremation interment. For many, the family columbarium is an ideal interment option. As the trend towards cremation continues to increase, consider a custom or standard family columbarium to memorialize “The Family”.

For information contact the office at 570-668-4100.
