Cemetery History

Greenwood Cemetery was established in the 1940s on the old Bedford Fairgrounds, located adjacent to Oakwood and Longwood cemeteries.

Bedford's original cemetery was Longwood. Just prior to the Civil War, the City developed land to the south and east of Longwood Cemetery, and named it Oakwood Cemetery. The three cemeteries are often referred to as a single cemetery, under the name, "Longwood, Oakwood, and Greenwood Cemeteries". It's also just shortened to "Longwood Cemetery".

Section Four of Greenwood Cemetery was opened in 1997. It is projected that the currently available space will last until Bedford's tri-centennial birthday, around 2050.
