Maintenance

Brooklyn's landmark Green-Wood Cemetery is a full-service, not-for-profit cemetery and all funds are used for maintenance and improvements. Your selection at The Green-Wood Cemetery, wherever it is situated, is guaranteed in perpetuity, by the Laws of New York State. General care is given to all parts of the Cemetery - the grass is cut periodically and sunken graves are filled, leveled and seeded as part of the Cemetery's routine upkeep. Thousand of lot owners, however, have found added comfort in the extra care given to endowed lots. If you call our office, we will be pleased to forward a written estimate to you.

The interest earned by your endowment is used to provide added care to your lot, and the principal of the endowment can never be violated based on the laws of New York State. Should the establishment of an endowment not be possible at this time, please consider our annual care program.

Annual care provides maintenance comparable to that received by an endowed lot, but is billed yearly and may be cancelled at any time.

As a courtesy to our lot owners, annual care payments may be charged to MasterCard, Visa, American Express or the Discover Card. For more details, please contact us at 718-768-7300 or click here to fill out our Information Request Form.
