Thank you to our generous donors of six new jet black granite park benches in Heritage Park in Greenwood Cemetery in Vernon. Four of the benches have been installed and the other two are expected soon.
The first bench was a gift from the PFC Shane W. Cantu Memorial fund in association with the Shiawassee Community Foundation, the second was a gift from Friends of Greenwood and the last four was a gift from Ga***rd Runyan and Michael White of Mid Michigan Monument.
The parkway will have seating available for twelve persons and can be used in lieu of graveside services at no charge. We invite families to use the parkway and eliminate the cost of tent and chair rentals.

Thank you Jennifer and Michael Clarke for the beautiful new Greenwood Cemetery sign. The new sign was installed October 1, 2025. The cemetery was established in 1862 and to the best of our knowledge there has never been an official sign.
We are most grateful for your generosity.
