What is Perpetual Care?
A perpetual care cemetery is permanently maintained through a perpetual care fund. For each space or mausoleum crypt sold, 10% of the selling price is trusted to that fund. The principal may never be touched, only the interest may be used. This guarantees a family's burial estate will be beautiful forever.
What if we move?
We don't know when our family may relocate, however, it is important to always have your loved ones protected in the event of an emergency. Trinity Memorial Gardens is a member of the International Cemetery and Funeral Association. This Association provides a program called credit exchange plan. This entitles families to be able to transfer their burial estate dollar per dollar to an affiliate 75 miles or further in the United States.
Can we make all arrangements in one location?
Trinity Memorial Gardens can and does assist with total arrangements. We are not a Funeral Home however we can guide you to a reputable funeral establishment which will suit your particular needs. We do assist families with burial arrangements, caskets, outer containers, memorials, cremation urns, cremation niches, and mausoleum entombment.
Does Trinity Memorial Gardens sell caskets?
Yes, we do sell caskets.
Do funeral directors accept caskets from outside?
Yes, the Maryland state law requires all funeral homes to accept caskets that are purchased elsewhere. This practice has only been in place for the last 3 years. Before that, only a licensed funeral director was allowed to sell a casket. This proved to be a terrible injustice, as you the consumer were forced to pay exorbitant prices for a product that the funeral directors held a monopoly. Now this has changed, and the consumers have a choice.
Does Trinity Memorial Gardens offer private family mausoleums?
Yes, a family mausoleum is an individual structure within the cemetery grounds. This custom built mausoleum is an independently standing structure, that can be placed in any cemetery. This structure usually accommodates two entombments, but can be built to accommodate six. For more information check this site under mausoleum. Click here to view our Family Mausoleums.
