Green Acres was founded by George H. Less in 1953 during a time of segregation as the first privately-owned perpetual care cemetery open for all people in our region. Today, our cemetery serves as the resting place for people from every walk of life, background and place. Uniquely, we are the only local cemetery still under original ownership.
Green Acres is proud of our history and heritage. Each person laid to rest is remembered and honored for the positive impact they had on the lives of others, our community and beyond. It’s our privilege to have them and their families as an important part of our Green Acres.
