Balloon Released are ILLEGAL in many states, to include Maryland, DC, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maine, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia.

Information on the Ban:
During the 2021 legislative session, Senate Bill 716/House Bill 391​ (2021 Md. Laws Ch. 610) was passed, which created a new law, § 9-2301 of the Environment Article, Annotated Code of Maryland​. Under the law, effective October 1, 2021, a person may not knowingly and intentionally release or cause a balloon to be released into the atmosphere, and a person may not organize or participate in a mass balloon release.
Notably, some balloons are labeled “biodegradable,” but they still take several months to decay and can be harmful to animals, and the environment.

It is also AGAINST the Rules and Regulations of our Gardens, as we do not allow any balloons in the gardens. We also do NOT allow balloons to be TIED to the vase either. Balloons, should they deflate and land on the memorial, the dye will bleed out and ruin the bronze. It will stain and there is no way to fix it.
They also poise an issue if they come lose and fly into the road. It also can harm the wild life we have here in our gardens.

PLEASE, for all the above reasons, do not bring balloons into the gardens.

The grocery store can be a difficult place to be after someone you love has died. It is common to feel emotional, even breaking down in the aisles.
Has this happened to you?

Is anyone else ready for spring?

Yes, our grounds are once again covered in snow. Thankfully, its fluffy and soft, no ice that we have seen. Early mornings, after it's been freezing temperatures, it may be slick. Please, as always, be careful while visiting your loved ones here.

We need to break the stigma and taboo that revolve around death conversations.

We need to discuss it, openly, with our families.

Everyone deserves to know how you feel about your final arrangements.

How do you feel about caskets?
How do you feel about cremation?
Do you want a viewing?
Do you want to wear your glasses?
Do you want to be buried with your wedding rigs?

How many questions do you have the answer to? How many questions do your family know the answer to?

There so many questions we don't think about, so many we don't know the answer to when the time comes.

Please have this discussion with your families. Please prepare ahead of time so your family doesn't have to try to guess what you would have wanted.

We are very excited to see families coming back!

The Board of Directors have decided that March 1, 2026 will be the day we start cleaning up the grounds.
We request the families come pick up any decorations they have outside of the vase on their loved ones memorials before Monday, March 2nd.

Thank you all for your patience while we navigate this weather and issues caused by the weather.

OH HAPPY DAY!

We can see the ground once again!

While most of the snow is gone (as you can see there is some lingering), there are puddles everywhere.

The gardens are mostly snow free, but please be careful while visiting your loved ones. The grounds are very soft, muddy, and in some areas, puddles. We encourage families to start picking up your decorations but use caution and your best judgement. If you have to walk too far and the grounds are too soft, feel free to try again at a later date.

We hope the weather will stay dry for a while so the rest of the grounds can recover from the snow storm!

We will keep you all updated! Stay safe and stay tuned for more updates!

Chinese New Year

In the Chinese zodiac 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse. The Chinese Lunar New Year begins February 17, 2026, and starts the 15-day Spring Festival that concludes with the Lantern Festival. The Chinese zodiac rotates through a 12-year cycle of animals and the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The horse represents hard work, bravery, and resilience. The Year of the Horse is followed by the Year of the Goat. Different regions across Asia celebrate Lunar New Year in many ways and may follow a different zodiac.
