Nestled in the rolling hills of Creve Coeur, Forever Bellerive is the only non-denominational cemetery in West St. Louis County and offers services found nowhere else in the area. From our unique LifeStories™ console to our personalized, life-centered funeral services, Forever Bellerive offers more than you might expect from a cemetery or funeral home.

"The First of It's Kind..." Forever Bellerive Cemetery presents a Cemetery Garden featuring a championship caliber golf green. Premium Memorial Estate locations are limited and on a first reserved basis.

The Bellerive Cemetery was founded in 1925 and was a Masonic cemetery prior to being purchased by the McLaughlin family. Forever took over in October 1992. It was not overgrown but rather outdated at that time.

Now, an exercise path winds through this picturesque park used frequently by neighbors and families of those interred here. Drawn to the vibrant flowers in spring or the magnificent autumn leaves, families often come to visit loved ones or just to enjoy a quiet stroll or a moment's reflrection near calming water features.
