Where are the headstones?
Memory’s Garden allows only flat bronze memorials to mark gravesites. This gives our grounds a peaceful park-like appearance. There is a wide variety of styles to choose from for a unique and personal tribute. Contact our office for more details.

What is a grave liner? Do I need one?
These outer enclosures protect the casket from the weight of the earth. A burial vault or grave liner is required for burials in all lots purchased after January 1, 1985 however they are recommended for all in-ground casket burials. Memory’s Garden offers concrete grave liners, an economical alternative to the burial vaults offered at funeral homes. See our section on Ground Burial or contact our office for additional information.

Who owns Memory’s Garden?
Memory’s Garden is a Not-For-Profit Corporation owned and operated by its members (Lot Owners). The Board of Directors is elected by the Lot Owners and oversees the operations. See our "About" page for a list of current Board Members and our current Bylaws. Financial information can be accessed at www.guidestar.org (we are listed as Memorys Garden INC).
