Gives You and Your Family Peace of Mind

Most people are planners. We plan for work and play — vacations, sporting events, social occasions and milestones like births, graduations and weddings.
The only milestone most people fail to plan for is the last one — when we end our journey here on earth. Even those who have accepted that death is part of life can be reluctant to make arrangements for that final occasion.
The caring, professional staff at Trinity Memorial Gardens understands this hesitation. Every staff member knows how to care for others during this time of need, and is trained to assist with unique needs and requests.
Gary Saling, general manager of Trinity Memorial Gardens, commented, “When someone makes pre-need plans for themselves, they find peace of mind knowing that their family members will not need to worry or be burdened about what to do when the time comes.”
“When you make the decisions and the arrangements, you can be assured that your wishes will be carried out, “ said Saling. “You will spare your family the emotional choices that need to be made at a very difficult time.”
In addition to pre-need planning, Trinity Memorial Gardens offers at-need services, traditional burial and on-site cremation at its location on State Road 54, four miles west of the Veterans Expressway. All faiths are welcomed at this privately owned, full service funeral home, which offers a lovely, on-site chapel with seating for up to 250 guests.
There is a Garden of Honor for military veterans, two Catholic themed gardens, the Garden of Prayer and Bell Tower, a non-sectarian garden. There is also a separate cemetery on-site for those of the Jewish faith, called Beit Olam. Trinity also serves those of the Hindu faith, as they have the on-site crematory.
The Rose Garden is a newly created area that provides for in ground cremation burials. There is a private estate garden for those interested in a separated family plot, and a public mausoleum with both crypts for full body entombment, and niches for cremation inurnments. There are also glass front niches for a unique way to memorialize a loved one.
Trinity Memorial Gardens is about to embark on numerous constructions projects, 
including a new niche chapel dedicated to glass front niches, another inside mausoleum, an outside mausoleum, multiple new gardens, and a gazebo near the gardens of Honor and Innocence (the special garden for infants).
A full-time, professional maintenance staff takes care of the beautiful grounds. There are no additional fees charged to families for landscaping and garden maintenance.
Trinity Memorial Gardens, which is part of Dr. James Gill’s original vision for Trinity, is celebrating 20 years of service during 2015. The Gardens continue to grow and expand services to meet the needs of all who call this region home.
General Manager Gary Saling joins his staff in inviting you to call and schedule a personal tour of the Trinity Memorial Gardens campus.
