Presently, the cemetery is opened to the public daily, sunrise to sunset. We ask that you respect ongoing funerals and people visiting their friends and loved ones for their privacy.

Yes, Coral Ridge Memorial Gardens is a non-denominational cemetery that inters people from many races, ethnic orgins, and religions. That being said, Coral Ridge Memorial Gardens may not be able to accommodate all religious burial practices and traditions. Please contact the office if you have any questions.

When you purchase a grave site at Coral Ridge Memorial Gardens, you are granted the right to you and your heirs the right of burial in perpetuity in the grave site(s) designated for which you received an interment/inurnment right certificate of ownership. The Cemetery continues to own the land and cares for the grass and trees.

Coral Ridge Memorial Gardens has a small staff, so please contact the office to set up an appointment. This will ensure we will be able to spend the time needed to answer all of your questions about the Cemetery and the available sites for interment or inurnment.

After payment in full, you will receive a Certificate of Ownership for the right(s) you have purchased. The purchase price includes Endowment care. No additional fees have to be paid by family or friends to maintain the site.

• The opening and closing of the grave. This is the fee for digging, backfilling of the grave, and future levelling and grass seeding at the proper time of year for the seeding of the grave. This fee also includes the examination of our records for the correct location and the updating of our records.
• The Cemetery also can arrange for a final inscription of an existing granite memorial if needed.

The pre-arrangement of your grave sites will take a huge financial burden off your loved ones when you pass. You will have already made the choice of where you are to be interred, the type of burial, and the type of memorial you want. You can plan ahead and prepay for your grave or cremation and niche, as well as the use of the chapel, chaplain or choir if you so choose.  

Endowment Care means the care and maintenance of the surface conditions of the lot sites specified, such as grading, fertilizing, seeding, and, as far as possible, the keeping of the purchased site(s) clean and in good appearance. The term “care and maintenance” does not include the maintenance, repair or replacement of gravestones placed or erected upon the site(s).

• The ownership of or permission to use an interment right that has been paid in full. All costs related to the interment/inurnment are paid in full at least forty-eight (48) hours before the burial.
• The use of a casket or coffin to assist with ground stabilization and the maintenance of an attractive setting. You will purchase these items from the funeral home with which you are working, or have made pre-arrangements.
• Cremated remains do not have any other burial container requirements for ground burials; however, many families chose to make use of an outer burial container (niche) for the urn. The Cemetery can assist you with purchasing a niche in our Columbarium or your funeral director will gladly assist you as well.
