Ivana Trump buried at Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey

Ivana Trump, the first wife of former United States President Donald Trump, died on July 14, 2022, at the age of 73 in New York City. Authorities reported that she died after sustaining injuries from an accidental fall at her residence. Her death was ruled accidental by the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner. Ivana Trump was a businesswoman, author, and former model who had been involved in several Trump Organization projects during the 1980s and early 1990s.

Following a funeral service held in New York City on July 20, 2022, Ivana Trump was buried at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Her gravesite is located near the first hole of the golf course and became the first known burial on the property. The golf club is owned by the Trump Organization and has hosted various political and social events associated with Donald Trump.

The burial location drew attention from legal analysts and tax experts who noted that New Jersey tax regulations allow land designated as a cemetery to receive certain tax exemptions. Under state law, cemetery land can qualify for property tax exemptions if it meets specific criteria. Observers noted that the presence of a burial site on the property could potentially affect how portions of the land are classified under local tax rules, although no official change in tax status was announced at the time.
