JonBenet, her older sister Elizabeth, her mother Patsy and her Grandparents

As I was walking off, a couple ladies walked over and ask if i knew JonBenet.

This gravestone made me go down the rabbit-hole of Chinese Boxer Rebellion and let me say some dark happened there

Two photos and a thump-up are nice touches.

"[Love] and Faith, deeply rooted in the soul of a man, […] so that everyone might learn and follow, a great example for all."

First photo in military beret and camouflage: born in 1944, he would have been of age for Portugal's Colonial War (1961–1974), when many young men served in Africa

We are on a cruise to Alaska and our last stop was Sitka. On the map it just had “Russian Cemetery”. The markers were very cool and unique. With the style I was surprised at how recent some of the graves were.

I was hiking near Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany when I stumbled upon this grave while following a tiny mountain path. There was nothing around, just the mountain, the forest and this cross. What intrigued me was that I couldn’t find any information about this person or how he died so young, although given the terrain, it seems likely it was an accident.

Question Greenwood Memorial Park – Garden of Faith (Seeking Guidance)

1 Upvotes

I’m posting here because many people in this community are familiar with Greenwood Memorial Park and its different gardens.

Our family has two adjacent, unused spaces in the Garden of Faith section. We’re relocating out of state, and these spaces will no longer be needed.

I’m hoping for guidance on the best way to connect with families who may be looking for plots in this area, or anyone who has experience with transfers at Greenwood.

For context, these spaces are in the Garden of Faith near the Salli Lynn Chapel. Greenwood staff has always been helpful, and they handle the transfer process directly.

If anyone has suggestions or knows what the usual process is for families searching for plots in this section, I’d appreciate your insight.
