This division is responsible for operating and maintaining Lakeside and Greenwood Cemeteries. Lakeside Cemetery is approximately 60 acres in size and has been designated as a perpetual care cemetery and requires intensive landscape management. Greenwood Cemetery consists of 14 acres and is considered a “natural” dry landscape cemetery that requires periodic landscape care. Fees are charged for grave spaces and other services in both cemeteries. Cemetery crews are responsible for irrigating, mowing and trimming the turf grass around approximately 18,000 monuments each week, selling grave spaces, excavating grave spaces, making burial accommodations of various types, coordinating with monument dealers, morticians, and contractors.
