Our History, Our Promise

Founded by family and built on compassion, Sawnee View Gardens continues to honor loved ones with dignity and care.

Sawnee View Gardens was founded in 1962 by the Bennett family with a simple yet profound purpose: to create a place of peace, dignity, and remembrance for the Cumming, GA community. What began as a family vision has grown into Forsyth County's only non-denominational cemetery, serving thousands of families with compassion and care.

For more than six decades, Sawnee View Gardens has remained family-focused and community-minded. Generations of families have entrusted us with their loved ones, finding comfort in our beautifully maintained grounds and the respect with which we honor every life.

Today, Sawnee View Gardens continues to uphold the values that shaped our beginning:

  • Compassionate Service – Providing care and guidance during life's most difficult moments.

  • Lasting Tribute – Offering burial, mausoleum, and cremation options that reflect the dignity of each life.

  • Community Commitment – Serving as a trusted and enduring place of remembrance for Cumming and the surrounding area.

As we look toward the future, our mission remains the same: to provide families with a place where memories are honored, legacies are preserved, and peace can be found.

Every life deserves a time of honoring, celebrating, and reflecting.
