Thank you for your interest in Mount Vernon Memorial Park, a ministry of Mount Vernon Baptist Church.
We are dedicated to providing each family with an assurance that their loved ones will be memorialized with respect and dignity by people they can trust.

Mount Vernon Memorial Park is a full-service, non-denominational cemetery that is open to the community. Our 10-acre cemetery was developed by Mount Vernon Baptist Church in 1997. From the beginning, our vision was to create a tranquil space set apart, where families could gather to remember and honor their loved ones.

We would be happy to meet with you to discuss your specific needs in more detail.

A Living Tribute

Mount Vernon Memorial Park is a concept in beauty grounded in time-honored tradition. As one of the oldest and largest churches in Virginia, we are proud to bring to our friends and neighbors in Richmond a planned memorial park of significance. We invite you to stroll on paths alongside planted gardens, flowering shrubs and native trees reflecting brilliant hues of the season.

Celebrating the Seasons of our Lives

Unlike conventional cemeteries, Mount Vernon Memorial Park is an integral part of the Mount Vernon campus. Here, our loved ones are remembered and honored in surroundings where the seasons of our lives are celebrated -- where families gather with friends and rejoice at weddings and births.

A Place to Honor our Loved Ones

We offer a variety of burial choices. Two gardens (Garden of Prayer and Garden of the Good Shepherd) accommodate flat bronze memorials. The Garden of Remembrance, designed to accommodate upright granite headstones, honors Mount Vernon family members whose graves were relocated from the church’s former site to the current Memorial Park site. The Garden of Devotion allows for a mix of upright and flat, granite and bronze memorials.

Rising from the heart of the Memorial Park, our mausoleum chapel is a monument to the dignity and memory of those who find their final resting place here. This monument provides an option for full casket, above-ground burial.

We also have options for in-ground and above-ground burial of cremated remains.

An Assurance of Trust

We realize that unfortunate circumstances may take loved ones at an early age. To ease the burden, Mount Vernon Memorial Park provides a child memorial plan for parents who have made prearrangements for themselves. Should a child under age 21 die, burial rights would be provided at no cost. In addition, should any law enforcement officer or fire-fighting personnel in the Richmond area die in the line of duty, Mount Vernon will offer the family a free space for burial.

We, like you, would rather not ponder death. It can be comforting to know that we and those we love will be memorialized with respect and dignity by people we trust. We invite you to consider the wisdom of advance planning. The advantages include lower costs, convenient terms, family participation and peace of mind. We are always available to help you with your cemetery arrangements.
