Greenwood Cemetery Association is rich in history and family heritage. Back in 1777, George Washington marched his troops through its land on his way to the Battle of Trenton. Originally the site of the Anderson farm, Greenwood Cemetery Association was founded in 1874.
It was first developed as a monument cemetery; however, the southeast portion was subsequently designated as the Garden of Memories, where only flush bronze memorials may be installed.The cemetery's five public mausoleums offer the protection and comfort of above-ground burial. The Mercer County Veterans section of Greenwood Cemetery is the first in U.S. history to include above-ground mausoleum crypts for veterans only.

BROOKLYN LADIES WHO WALKABOUT:
My walking buddy Renée and I walked about the Greenwood Cemetery built in 1838..It took approximately 1.5 hours to get to from each of our starting points.. We met up in downtown Brooklyn across from the Barclay Center..Greenwood Cemetery is a landmark, with one of my favorite artist spending eternity there (Jean Michel Basquiat). It was absolutely a beautiful and scenic walking trail.
Green-Wood Cemetery is a 478-acre (193 ha) cemetery in the western portion of Brooklyn, New York City. The cemetery is located between South Slope/Greenwood Heights, Park Slope,

These effing pirates want to tack on an additional fee for internment of my mother's ashes as well as my father's even though My world war II veteran father prearranged for this entire ceremony they're going to charge opening and closing fee twice and an embodiment fee oh they're so happy to give me a 75% discount I think that's a good deal for me and I'm going to be happy with that. Can't believe the gall of this I'm sure that my father did not misunderstand this hidden charges hidden fees deceptiveness in a time like this It's just outrageous

My grandmother recently passed away at the end of January. She lived in NJ until she was in her early 80’s and when she moved to Florida she was very concerned that flowers wouldn’t be left at her mother and grandmothers grave after she left. She would always place flowers for the holidays and any other special occasions. My aunt agreed to help and took over the duty of placing flowers for her. Since this is the first Mother’s Day without her I did not plan properly and didn’t think to order flowers in advance and have them placed (I moved to Texas so I am unable to place them myself).

In utter shock at how there is NO maintenance and upkeep to the graves! As I stand here looking at the veteran graves with flags at their nameplates, I literally had to “unbury” another 7 veterans who did not get flags as their nameplates were completely grown over!! What a disgrace to those who have served their country and to those people who pay absorbent cemetery fees!
