Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens and Mausoleum is a cemetery and mausoleum in Timonium, Maryland, a fashionable Baltimore County suburban community. It is located at 200 E. Padonia Rd, about two miles from the intersection of Interstate 83 and Padonia Road. The Pine Ridge Golf Course borders much of the cemetery; the other borders are Padonia Road and a residential neighborhood. Dulaney High School is nearby and the cemetery's administrative offices are directly across the street from the main entrance to the burial park. There is another entrance leading to Gibbons Road but this is normally kept locked.
Founded in 1958 by John Warfield Armiger, Sr., the 70-acre (28 ha) cemetery was owned and managed by the Armiger family until July 17, 2007, when it was sold to Mitchell-Wiedefeld Funeral Home corporation.[1] It averages 900 burials annually.[1] Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens has a large mausoleum and chapel with extensive use of stained glass windows.
The cemetery has a Fallen Heroes section and memorial tableau, dedicated to police officers and firefighters from the local area who were killed in the line of duty and interred there at no charge.[1] There is also a Field of Honor surmounted by a circle of flags for deceased military veterans. Dedicated on National Flag Day, June 14, 1967, the tribute is supported by the American Legion and other veterans' groups. An annual Memorial Day ceremony with invited dignitaries attracts large crowds there.
Other notables interred at Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens include:
- Spiro Agnew, Vice President of the United States and Governor of Maryland
- Johnny Unitas, Baltimore Colts Pro Football Hall of Famer
- Pat Kelly, Major League All-Star baseball player
- G. E. Lowman, international radio evangelist
