🏛️ Welcome to Friends of Greenwood Cemetery

Greenwood Cemetery is one of Grand Rapids’ oldest and most historically significant burial grounds. At Friends of Greenwood Cemetery, we’re working to protect its legacy — through restoration, education, and community involvement.

🌿 Why Greenwood Matters

Every gravestone tells a story. From Civil War veterans to everyday citizens, Greenwood is the final resting place of thousands who helped shape Grand Rapids. But time and neglect have taken their toll. We’re here to restore, remember, and respect.
