Greenwood Memorial Gardens Cemetery, Grass Valley, Nevada County, CA

Info submitted by Rebecca Garrlentini Jun 2005


There are two Section Types in Greenwood Memorial. Both sections still take current burials. 
My source for this information is by one of the caretakers ~ Sam, who was present on this 
visit. (June 14th, 2005) Sam has worked there for over 20 years.
 
Endowment Care Section (Located in the front of the cemetery towards the entrance) & 
Non ~ Endowment Care Section (Located in the rear of the cemetery and goes upward upon a hillside. 
This is where the orginal cemetery started and where the older tombstones are ~ Some markers are 
wooden as you will see later) 
 
This Cemetery is also known by several different names:

1. Greenwood Memorial 
2. Greenwood Cemetery
3. Greenwood Memorial Gardens Cemetery
4. Greenwood Memorial Lawn Cemetery
5. Greenwood Memorial Cemetery
