Free Funeral Planning Resources
Funeral planning can seem overwhelming. These guides can help you every step of the way—from choosing between traditional burial planning and cremation, designing a religious ceremony or a celebration of life, and deciding on cemetery property or filing for veteran's benefits.

Our core vision is to celebrate life with dedication, excellence and creativity. Whether you prefer a traditional funeral service or a more personalized celebration of life, our funeral home team is here to guide and assist you in creating a tribute that honors your wants and needs.
Our funeral home was established in 1981 by Joseph and Helen Farr. The building is approximately 20,000 square feet. When you walk into our lobby, you’ll be greeted by one of our team members, who will lead you to the Heritage Room, a versatile chapel that offers a variety of seating options. Adorned with living decor, the large and open room offers traditional seating for 140 guests—or for a more intimate setting, guests can be seated at round tables.
Hillsboro Memorial Gardens has served the Brandon, Florida, community for half a century. Founded, developed and designed by the Farr family in 1968, the 45-acre cemetery offers many burial and cremation interment options for families of all faiths, religions and backgrounds. Prior to the Farr family, Hillsboro Memorial Gardens was owned by the county—its first burial took place in 1922.
Certain sections of Hillsboro Memorial Gardens are dedicated to specific groups and religions. We have a veterans section to honor those who have served our country, a Masonic garden for Mason members, a Catholic section dedicated to Catholic churches in the Tampa area, and a Star of David section for the Jewish community.
In August 2016, we opened Woodland Square Estates II, a peaceful, lush and quiet section of the cemetery for both traditional burial and cremated remains. A curved sidewalk meanders through the serene garden and the burial private estates are landscaped with Knock Out roses.
The focal point of Hillsboro Memorial Gardens is Chapel of Palms mausoleum, which was built in 1994. Chapel of Palms is climate controlled, very private and secure. Only families with keys to the building can access it. Upon entering the glass door entryway, you’ll see cremation niches and 4 elegant chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
