The Garden of Memories
The Garden of Memories
Puerto Vallarta has earned its place in the hearts of a variety of extraordinary people from around the world. When we lose someone who has a connection to this special community, we look for a peaceful setting where we can honor their life and memory. The serenity and beauty of the Botanical Garden sanctuary is a perfect place to remember the special people we’ve lost, and to reflect on and celebrate the cycles of life.
Create a sacred place within the Garden of Memories to honor and memorialize a departed loved one.
A variety of customizable options are available, starting from $3,000 (USD).
Spreading of ashes and/or interment of cremains on the property available; we cannot offer full burial.
Commemorative Markers
All options include a carved cantera symbol or statue placed on a pedestal in the Garden of Memories in the shadow of the Cerro de Águila (Eagle Hill). The pedestals may be ornamented in tiles, including one hand painted tile as a default. A variety of different sizes and shapes of memorial stones are available, and additional tiles may be added. Please consult with us for custom memorial stone or monolith options
Services & Ceremonies
We are able to offer spiritual or religious services meeting the needs of a variety of beliefs and traditions.
Our memorial ceremonies may be held in any of the following areas: the Hall of Flowers in the Hacienda de Oro Visitor Center, the banks of the Rio Horcones, or the shade of the Giant Ficus Tree.
Ashes are traditionally scattered from any of the following inspirational settings: the Shade of the Giant Ficus, the banks of the Rio Horcones, the Cerro de Águila (Eagle Hill), or the Tree Fern Grotto. Family and friends often reserve some ashes for a memorial in the garden which can range from a single hand painted tile to a cantera bench or memorial stone with a cross or statue.

We are honored to host a reception following your ceremony at our Hacienda de Oro Restaurant. For privacy, larger groups may reserve exclusive use of either the upstairs or downstairs areas. Each of our memorial packages includes garden entry and complimentary coffee and cookies for 20 guests. Additional guests may be accommodated and other reception packages with appetizers or meals can be offered. We can arrange transportation for groups.
