Sunday is Father’s Day. Greenleaf Cemetery is doing something a little different. We’ll be having our First Annual Father’s Day Car Show on the cemetery grounds. Nothing says, “Happy Father’s Day” like a family outing to a car show. While you’re here, you can celebrate the memory of the dads, granddads, and uncles you’ve loved.
Greenleaf Cemetery is made up of about a hundred acres of land, with a quarter of that not plotted for burials. We have plenty of room, without the worry of being disrespectful to those who rest here.
I have learned, in the research I’ve done since beginning as Greenleaf Office Manager, that the first parks were actually offshoots of cemeteries. Our cemetery is not only for the dead, but also for the living. We should celebrate the lives of those we love, both the living and the dead.
While you’re here, you might want to walk over to the old section and stroll through. It is full of history and art.
The Car Show will be from 1pm to 3pm on Sunday, so come out and have fun. There is no entry fee, either to bring a car to show, or to just come to look.
