About
Every person’s life has an extraordinary story. At Blount & Curry Funeral Home at Garden of Memories, we want to tell that story like no one else can. We create memorable and 
Spacious and contemporary, our funeral home is 20,000 square feet in size and can host everything from an intimate family gathering to a large community extravaganza. The main chapel accommodates up to 200 guests with traditional seating or round tables. With modern lighting, bright furniture, an upgraded audio/visual system and striking stained-glass windows, the chapel is a lovely space for celebrating your loved one. Our Cam-Rose Room has both traditional and round-table seating for 75-100 guests. The Azalea Room is meant for gatherings of 20-25 people, like a visitation or small reception.
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.
