The Garden Mausoleum was built in 1975 and overlooks the lake. Resthaven Chapel Mausoleum, which features casket crypts and cremation niches, was built in 1968. The mausoleum was expanded in the mid-1980s with an additional wing that added casket crypts. Glass-front cremation niches were added later.
McLaren's Funeral Chapel moved from Valley Junction to the grounds of Resthaven Cemetery in 1978. Each year until 1998 the Resthaven Cemetery tree farm provided many of the West Des Moines residents with Christmas trees. Other additions to Resthaven include private estates with a two-crypt private mausoleum, added in 2005, and the fountain estates, added in 2006. The Veterans Memorial Wall was constructed in 2006 and honors both living and deceased veterans. Each Memorial Day, the avenue of flags honors those who have given their lives defending our country.
