AFTER WORLD WAR II, THE GEORGE T. REICHNER FAMILY FELT THAT THERE WAS A NEED FOR A MEMORIAL PARK CEMETERY IN THE AREA. ON SEPTEMBER 7, 1946 A LARGE ADVERTISEMENT APPEARED IN THE TAMAQUA EVENING COURIER ANNOUNCING THE ESTABLISHENT OF A NON-SECTARIAN BURIAL ESTATE AND MAUSOLEUM IN THE VILLAGE OF HOMETOWN. THE CEMETERY WAS CALLED SKY-VIEW MEMORIAL PARK. REICHNER WENT TO CALIFORNIA TO VISIT FOREST LAWN MEMORIAL PARK TO SEE THE LAY OUT OF THE CEMETERY. THIS WAS THE START OF THE TRI-COUNTIES MOST BEAUTIFUL CEMETERY. IN THE EARLY YEARS, THE OFFICE WAS LOCATED ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE TAMAQUA NATIONAL BANK, NOW THE SITE OF THE BERWICK HOUSE APARTMENTS. IN 1957, THE OFFICE WAS RELOCATED TO THE PRESENT LOCATION IN HOMETOWN (TAMAQUA) ACROSS FROM THE CEMETERY.
