Never-ending blue skies hover over Greenwood Memory Lawn cemetery in Phoenix, Arizona, offering warmth and comfort to loved ones and friends of the departed in this, one of the oldest cemeteries in the historic, western town nestled in the southern Arizona desert landscape.

Since 1906, Greenwood Memory Lawn Mortuary and Cemetery has seen to the burial and funeral needs of Phoenix and Maricopa County residents. In the late 1980s, Greenwood and several neighboring cemeteries, including Forest Lawn, Memory Lawn and Beth El Cemeteries, combined to form one huge cemetery located on the west side of 23rd Avenue in downtown Phoenix.

Covering nearly 200 sprawling acres and green lawns that provide a welcome oasis in the midst of desert cacti, mesquite and juniper, Greenwood Memory Lawn offers visitors lovely memorials, a marble mausoleum, the Serenity Fountain, an historic horse-drawn coach and an 11-foot tall bronze statue, the historic Firefighter Bell Tower and well landscaped and cared for grounds.

Offering a multitude of services, staff at Greenwood Memory Lawn offer flush as well as above-ground headstones, multidenominational services and traditional as well as cremation options for families. Also a popular site for military and law enforcement veterans, the cemetery offers police escorts and fly bys.

Greenwood Memory Lawn serves as the final resting place of many Arizona notables, including military veterans of all wars, former Arizona governors and politicians dating back to the turn of the 20th century, sports figures and actors.

Located just southwest of the intersection of Arizona Interstates 10 and 17, Greenwood Memorial Lawn may be accessed off of N. 27th Avenue or W. Van Buren in downtown Phoenix. For over 100 years, the kind and compassionate staff at Greenwood Memorial Lawn has served the needs of many generations of Phoenix residents and will continue to do so in the future.
