Upcoming Events
Music to Die For in Hope Abbey Mausoleum, October 11, 1:00—3:00 pm
Join us for the final concert of the 2026 Music To Die For season. Oregon Bach Collegium will be performing in Hope Abbey Mausoleum at 1:00 pm on Sunday, October 11. (This concert is earlier than the typical time)
They will play historically informed music from the 16th-19th centuries. The beautifully restored Egyptian Revival-style abbey has great acoustics and a unique vibe.
Come early to get a seat inside the Abbey or bring a lawn chair and listen from outside. Gates open at 12:30 for drop-off but there is no parking in the cemetery. Park on the street near the entrance at 25th and University, or 26th and Potter. The Abbey will remain open until 3pm and audience members are welcome to remain and explore until then.
About the cemetery
In addition to traditional burial plots, the Eugene Masonic Cemetery offers a variety of services and memorials. Our administrator will be happy to help you with your choices. Email emca1859@gmail.com or call (541) 684-0949.
This community treasure is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Remarkably, it is also an active, operating cemetery. Established in 1859, Eugene’s first chartered cemetery includes pioneers, such as city founder Eugene Skinner and artist Maude Kerns. The cemetery retains “Masonic” in its name, as an important historic reference, but is no longer officially affiliated with the Masonic Lodge.
Donations to Eugene Masonic Cemetery Association qualify for the Oregon Cultural Trust tax credit. See OCT’s web site for more information on how to participate.
