My grandparents, aunts, and uncles are buried here. The girl in the office helped me find the graves and was very pleasant and caring. Some of the graves are very old but look well-kept. Thank you for taking care of my family!
Office was very helpful with providing the location information for my in-laws. They even offered to take me to the location and when I said I'd try on my own they said to call the office and they'd come out. That's going the extra mile. Grounds were well taken care of. Thank you!
I visited Mt Greenwood Cemetery today and met the new Admin assistant, Rinchen, he was so helpful and gracious he had everything setup for me to put my Mother and Brother in the niche my family and I was very pleased with everything. I must say that Paula, the previous admin was also just as gracious.
What a blessing to have met Barb Flynn. She was kind and responsive. She went above and beyond my expectations and answered questions that my family has not had in over 50 years! Thank you so much for your comfort and dedication.
