Garden of Memories cemetery sits on more than 100 rolling acres. With many well-manicured gardens, moss-covered oak trees and a historic 5-story columbarium, the cemetery is the final resting place of pioneers, entrepreneurs, philanthropists and more. With many undeveloped acres, Garden of Memories will be able to serve Tampa-area families for generations to come.
Chimes Tower, the 1st columbarium for cremated remains ever built by a cemetery, is the focal point of the property. Surrounded by a manicured cremation garden, the cross-shaped building is 5 stories tall with an illuminated tower. Chimes Tower is a unique and magnificent structure that enriches the history and dignity of Garden of Memories.
In 1976, the Knopke family built a funeral home on the cemetery property. They named it Knopke Funeral Home. It was the 1st funeral home to be a sister location for a major cemetery on the west coast of Florida. A year later, the funeral home's name was changed to Garden of Memories Chapel. In 1981, the Knopkes built the current funeral home, now known as Blount & Curry Funeral Home at Garden of Memories, adjacent to the cemetery grounds. With 20,000 square feet, the funeral home includes a chapel that seats 200. Today, the original funeral home building serves as a church. 
Situated on 105 acres, Myrtle Hill Memorial Park offers a glimpse into the history of Hillsborough County. The cemetery is home to the private mausoleums of many of the original founding families of Tampa. In addition, numerous features and monuments throughout the cemetery property were hand carved and chiseled. Nowadays, most monuments and statues are created by machines.
