Memorial park is an American euphemism for a cemetery — particularly a modern, landscaped cemetery designed to look like a parkland rather than a traditional churchyard with upright headstones. The 'memorial park' concept, popularised in the 20th century, emphasises dignity and tranquility through manicured lawns and flat bronze plaques rather than conventional grave markers. The euphemistic naming softens the association with death, framing burial grounds as places of quiet memory rather than stark mortality.
