How to Receive a Savings Bond
Greenwood Cemetery introduced an economic stimulus program to help families act upon their desires to preplan their burials while infusing new revenue into the community.
Greenwood Cemetry is giving a $100 U.S. Savings Bond to each family that meets with one of our family service counselors to learn about the benefits of preplanning. The meeting can take place in the families’ homes or in the cemetery's offices.
