Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens and Mausoleum is a cemetery and mausoleum in Timonium, Maryland, a Baltimore County suburban community. It is located at 200 E. Padonia Rd, about two miles (3 km) east from the Padonia Road exit off Interstate 83. The 7th and 6th holes of the Longview Golf Course border much of the cemetery; the other borders are Padonia Road and a residential neighborhood. The cemetery's administrative offices are directly across the street from the main entrance to the burial park. Another entrance leading to Gibbons Road is normally kept locked.

History

Founded in 1958 by John Warfield Armiger, Sr., the 70 acre cemetery was owned and managed by the Armiger family until July 17, 2007, when it was sold to Mitchell-Wiedefeld Funeral Home corporation. It averages 900 burials annually. Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens has a large mausoleum and chapel with a number 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.{{cite news|title=Ravens' Harbaugh among speakers for Fallen Heroes Day at Dulaney Valley |work=The Baltimore Sun|date=May 1, 2012 |url= http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/baltimorecounty/news/community/ph-tt-fallen-heroes-0502-20120501,0,950337.story

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.
