Hillsboro Memorial Funeral Home

Hillsboro Memorial Funeral Home, located at 2323 West Brandon Boulevard in Brandon, Florida, has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in the Tampa Bay area since its establishment in 1981 by Joseph and Helen Farr. Operating in close partnership with the adjacent Hillsboro Memorial Gardens cemetery, the funeral home offers a comprehensive range of funeral, cremation, and cemetery services designed to honor the lives of loved ones with dignity, honor, and respect. The facility spans approximately 20,000 square feet and features a welcoming lobby, the versatile Heritage Room chapel that can seat up to 140 guests in traditional format or offer intimate round-table seating, and a reception room accommodating about 50 guests for catered events before, during, or after services. The funeral home team is skilled in creating personalized tributes, from simple video memorials to elaborate themed celebrations such as transforming the chapel into a New York City skyline or incorporating a putting green for a golfer. They are experienced in serving diverse faiths and cultures, including Catholic rosary services, traditional Hmong funeral ceremonies, and others, with English and Spanish speaking staff available for convenience. Hillsboro Memorial Gardens, founded by the Farr family in 1968, sits on 45 acres of land with majestic Florida oak trees and over a dozen themed gardens. Its first burial took place in 1922. The cemetery offers a variety of interment options including traditional burial, cremation interment in a dedicated cremation garden with walls, niches, and benches, private family estates in serene sections like Woodland Square Estates II (opened in 2016), and the climate-controlled Chapel of Palms Mausoleum built in 1994. Special sections honor veterans, Masonic members, Catholic families, and the Jewish community with a Star of David garden. Monument rows provide affordable upright monument options. The funeral home is part of the Dignity Memorial network, offering a 100 percent service guarantee, 24/7 availability with a real person on the phone, and financial assistance options such as CareCredit. Pre-planning services allow families to lock in current prices and receive up to 10 percent off cemetery property and funeral plans. Hillsboro Memorial Funeral Home and its cemetery remain dedicated to serving Brandon, Tampa, and surrounding communities including Spring Hill, Riverview, Ocala, Sarasota, Orlando, and Venice with professionalism and heartfelt care.
