The
founders of Greenmount Cemetery were people of Salem Church. The Greenmount
Cemetery Association is under the sponsorship of Salem Evangelical
United Church of Christ and its directors are to be elected from the
membership of the church. Since 1875 the cemetery has continued to
grow and has increased in size from the original 15 acres to over
100 acres, with approximately 50 acres yet to be developed.
Thus, what began as an idea and conducted
along Christian principles has developed into an institution that
has truly become a part of Quincy and the surrounding area.
Here for the past 125 years have been enshrined
the sacred memories of loved ones drawn from all walks of life.
The purpose of Greenmount Cemetery will always
be to maintain the tradition set by its founders:
"To
hold in sacred trust the memories
of loved ones entrusted to its care."
