Greenwood Cemetery is a historic cemetery just east of the downtown Orlando, Florida area. The…read morecemetery was established in 1880. Prior to 1880, the people who resided in the Orlando, Florida area had no permanent burial location. Eight residents of the area purchased twenty-six acres of land for a cost of $1,800. Greenwood Cemetery has since grown to over eighty acres. The cemetery has many of Orlando's past prominent citizens buried there, including multiple Orlando mayors. One area of Greenwood Cemetery is the heartbreaking section known as Babyland and is the resting spot of children who passed away under the age of five. Greenwood Cemetery offers tours usually around Halloween and there are plenty of ghost stories. One humorous story is that of Fred Weeks. Mr. Weeks was a northern businessman who was swindled by three men who sold him useless swamp land and billed it as prime real estate. Weeks responded by buying a piece of land close to Greenwood Cemetery and erected a tombstone with the three men's name on it and the biblical verse, "A certain man went down from Jeruand fell among thieves." The men bought the land back from Weeks. But Weeks was not done with these less than honorable men. Upon his mausoleum in Greenwood Cemetery, he had the men's names inscribed along with the biblical verse again. It is said that Weeks haunts the graveyard, as do countless other restless spirits. Greenwood Cemetery is an important part of the history of Orlando and definitely worth a trip.

Who in their right mind shops for cemetery markers? I do! After my father passed away recently my…read moremother knew exactly what she wanted for a cemetery marker. I presented that photo to several local companies. Below are the prices: Funeral home #1 - $5,600 Funeral home #2 - $2,250 Monument Co. $1,650... all for the exact same marker. Needless to say, I set up an appointment with Tee. Got all the details out of the way. Marker should be installed late July. I like the fact that when I went there for the very first time, mom answered the door, and daughter was the one that gave me the original quote. Come to find out, dad does all the engraving. I like the fact that this is a family owned business. I am sure that when the need arises, I will recommend the Monument Company to others.
