Memorial Park is a public space for honoring the memory of a loved one. It is an accessible green space where people can spend time in contemplation and reflection.
The Gold Star Monument is the newest monument in Memorial Park and was created with style guidelines provided by the Woody Williams Foundation and Delaware Gold Star families. It is the only memorial in the Park that includes a void design symbolizing those missing forever.
Peaceful Environment
Memorial Park is a natural oasis that replenishes the body, mind and spirit. Its miles of trails are known for their humbling beauty and offer people a chance to discover the outdoors and connect with fellow citizens in a shared, serene environment.
Visitors can enjoy the tranquil atmosphere by strolling through the grounds to reflect and pay tribute to loved ones. The park also offers themed gardens and a Japanese zen-style meditation garden for those seeking a quiet space to contemplate the meaning of life.
When purchasing burial or cremation property, it is important to select a final resting place that honors your family’s legacy. For many, a memorial park cemetery is a more fitting choice than traditional cemeteries because of the natural environment that prioritizes beauty and peace for reflection and respect for those who have passed away. Our memorial parks offer a variety of grave sections for those who prefer in-ground burial, as well as columbarium niches for those choosing cremation.
Dignified Sculptured Bronze Markers
For decades, families have turned to bronze to commemorate their loved ones because of its durability and timeless appearance. Today, the customization options for bronze memorials allow family members to create a truly unique remembrance. These personalizations include border designs, emblems that reflect military service, and other personalized motifs.
Another option is a flat marker, which can be less expensive than an upright monument. These markers can be engraved with anything from traditional name and lifespan dates to song lyrics or poetry.
Other cemetery monument types include slant uprights, which are headstones with a slanted front that makes it easy for people to read the inscription. They can also be personalized with sculptural elements such as flowers or other symbolic representations.
Personalized Services
Memorial Park offers a number of ways to honor your loved ones with care and compassion. From offering an array of burial, cremation and memorialization options to providing a high level of service for families with specialized needs, we’re dedicated to making sure every aspect is considered.
Bronze markers are flush (lawn-level) and available in all sections within the cemetery. They offer a wide range of styles, and can be embellished with an etched portrait or personal emblems for added meaning. They are offered in Individual, Companion or Infant sizes and come in a choice of bronze colors.
Memorial Park is a city-wide destination for all to enjoy – whether it’s a jog around the crushed granite Seymour Liebermann Trail, playing on the tennis courts or basketball courts or enjoying the ice skating pond. The forested park-like setting provides a sense of tranquility that is uniquely Memorial Park. It’s a place where people come to rest, relax and recharge – alone or with friends and family.
End-of-Life Planning
End-of-life expenses can catch many families off guard. The costs of doctor visits, hospital stays, long-term care facilities and funeral or cremation can add up quickly. Planning ahead is a compassionate act that eases some of the burdens for loved ones. It can also save money, as a pre-need plan ensures your wishes are fulfilled exactly how you want them to be.
The first step is choosing a location for the service. It should be a place that was meaningful to the deceased or in a serene natural setting. The next step is arranging the service. A memorial service typically includes readings, music and eulogies. It’s important to choose someone who knows the deceased well and can speak about them with compassion.
Our caring providers can counsel you on your options and work with you to create a ceremony that honors the unique needs of your family. They will also help you understand Medicare, veterans burial benefits and other death-related insurance.
