Greenwood Serenity Memorial Gardens (also known as Greenwood Cemetery) belongs to the Dignity Memorial network of cemetery and funeral service providers. Since the turn of the 20th century, staff at Greenwood Serenity Memorial Gardens have proudly provided compassionate services, advice, and support to grieving family members and loved ones. Founded in 1901, the property covers over 150 acres of beautiful grasslands, rolling hills graced with a variety of native, deciduous and annual trees, flowers, shrubbery and a pond. The property offers three mausoleums, upright and flush-to-ground monuments as well as a Veterans Garden, a chapel, and a funeral home designed to meet the needs of multicultural residents of the Montgomery area. Staff at Greenwood Serenity take pride in their ability to offer compassionate and caring services at the most difficult time in someone's life. Respect and courtesy have been the watchwords of Greenwood Serenity for over 100 years. The acreage of the property is beautifully kept, watered and maintained, offering a perpetual sense of beauty, peace and solitude to individuals visiting the premises. The mild southern climate offers year-round greenery, flowers in bloom, and heady scents of trees, blossoms and flowers planted throughout the property. The property offers a unique blend of old and new, with upright tombstones dating from the early 1900s blending seamlessly with newer traditions and burial customs of the 21st century. Greenwood Serenity Memorial Gardens also serves as the final resting place of many southern politicians, political leaders, confederate soldiers and soldiers of all wars, including World War Two Medal of Honor Recipient William Robert Lawley Jr. Located just east of downtown Montgomery in Montgomery County on Interstate 85 (also known as Martin Luther King Junior Expressway), the grounds of Greenwood Serenity Memorial Gardens may be accessed by taking the Ann Street off-ramp and heading north, and then turning right, or east on either Chestnut Street or Highland Avenue to access the property. |
