The C.E. Conrad Memorial Cemetery in Kalispell, Montana was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[1]

Located at 641 Conrad Dr., it is a 87 acres (35 ha) cemetery. The National Register listing included two contributing buildings, two contributing structures, two contributing sites, and two contributing objects.[1]

It was designed as a classic rural cemetery of style occurring on the East coast, and was designed by architect Arthur W. Hobert.[2]

It includes Greek Revival architecture. It dates from 1903.[1]

It was named for Charles E. Conrad, successful businessman and owner of the Charles E. Conrad Mansion, which is also NRHP-listed.

It was created by action of Alicia B. Conrad, wife of C.E. Conrad:

Shortly before his death in November 1902, C.E. Conrad informed his wife that he would like to be buried on a promontory about a mile from the family home. The promontory, overlooking the Flatheaad Valley, is a peaceful, beautiful and natural setting. Conrad designed a mausoleum and asked that it be constructed. Mrs. Conrad embarked on carrying out her husband’s wishes. She purchased the promontory and surrounding land for a community cemetery in memory of her husband.[3]

It is operated by a private nonprofit.[3]
