Our Story
We've learned a lot about caring for families over the years. We realize that we aren't just caring for a loved one, but the entire family. People come to us during their most difficult times, and we respond with kindness, understanding and expertise. Our goal is to make everyone feel at home as we work with them to create a memorable service in honor of a beautiful life.

1958
Sunset Memory Gardens has served the Tampa Bay area families as a cemetery since it was founded in 1958.

2012
In 2012, we opened our Key West themed Funeral Home and have continued the same quality of service our families have come to expect from us. We are devoted to exceeding expectations and providing a standard of service that goes above and beyond.

Splendor for acres
Occupying 70 acres, our beautiful and spacious cemetery offers a comforting, park-like environment highlighted by numerous trees and flowers. We offer families a variety of memorials from in-ground to upright monuments.

Quality, sincerity and trust
We've been providing funeral and memorialization services to the area for more than 60 years and have built a reputation on quality, sincerity and trust with services that celebrate the life of each individual and respect the wishes of every family. Our staff is known for its caring, professional services and Spanish-speaking capabilities.
