About Glendale, Colorado
Glendale is a small, densely populated city almost entirely surrounded by the City and County of Denver, sitting within Arapahoe County. At just over half a square mile, Glendale is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Colorado, and Cherry Creek runs directly through the city. The Cherry Creek Trail links Glendale to downtown Denver and the Cherry Creek Shopping District nearby.
The city is best known for Infinity Park, home to the country's first rugby-specific, municipally owned stadium and the reason Glendale calls itself "RugbyTown USA." Because Glendale has no cemetery of its own, families here typically choose burial at cemeteries throughout the greater Denver area, and our team is familiar with the venues and cemeteries families in this part of Arapahoe County most often choose.
