As Delray Beach continues to grow, so does the demand for space in its historic Memorial Gardens Municipal Cemetery. Currently, all available burial plots—both pre-purchased and at-need—have been sold. However, burial services will continue uninterrupted for individuals and families who previously secured pre-need plots. To accommodate future needs, the City of Delray Beach is planning for the construction of two new mausoleum buildings, adding over 2,000 interment spaces. This thoughtful expansion ensures that Memorial Gardens Cemetery remains a place of reflection, remembrance, and historical significance for generations to come.
