The cemetery retains \u201cMasonic\u201d in its name, as an important historic reference, but is no longer officially affiliated with the Masonic Lodge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donations to Eugene Masonic Cemetery Association qualify for the <strong>Oregon Cultural Trust<\/strong> tax credit.
