Our History
Our History
Green Acres Memorial Park was founded in 1947 by men of outstanding vision whose purpose it was to create a nonsectarian cemetery, to be perpetuated as a memorial park. From the beginning, their ideas met the approval of families who saw Green Acres Memorial Park as a place where those who pass on may rest in an environment of dignity and peace.
What Differentiates Us?
Green Acres Memorial Park is the only cemetery in the area that has perpetual care established under the State of Texas Department of Banking. In conformity with State Cemetery Laws, a percentage of each lot sale is deposited in an irrevocable trust fund which provides the upkeep of each lot forever. Families will never be asked to pay any dues or assessments for upkeep.
