Serenity Ridge is the first 100% natural burial cemetery in the state of Maryland, open since January 2023. It sits inside of a nature preserve and nationally registered arboretum. The natural burial cemetery reflects the same ecological values as the preserve:<\/p>\n
The mission of Serenity Ridge Natural Burial Cemetery is to protect and restore the surrounding fields and forests, waters, wildlife and vistas while providing a simple and environmentally friendly choice for burial.<\/p>\n
We are certified by the Green Burial Council and regulated by the State Office of Cemetery Oversight as a licensed, permanent Maryland cemetery.<\/p>\n
The services we provide start at the cemetery gate and take place within it. We have a list of Green Funeral Homes<\/a> that we have worked with and we are happy to work with any other Funeral Home the family feels comfortable with.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_phone=”||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_main_element_tablet=”width: 28% !important;” custom_css_main_element_phone=”width: 100% !important;||margin-top: 50px;”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FEC461″ positioning=”absolute” width=”8vw” width_tablet=”20vw” width_phone=”20vw” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” height=”8vw” height_tablet=”20vw” height_phone=”20vw” height_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_margin_tablet=”-16vw|||-12vw|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”-16vw|||-12vw|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” border_radii=”off|||200px|” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.serenityridgemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PNG-image-4.png” alt=”Aerial view of Serenity Ridge property” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” position_origin_a=”center_center” width_tablet=”40vw” width_phone=”40vw” width_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_margin=”10%|||10%|false|false” border_radii=”off|||200px|200px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=”35px” admin_label=”Hours of Operation, Tours & Appointments” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”55px” header_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The cemetery gate is open every day from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm to access at your convenience.
