Other Ways to Give:
A Gift in Your Will
Leaving a gift in your will to Glenwood Cemetery is one of the most meaningful acts that you make in your lifetime to support Glenwood's history and to continue your legacy. Leaving a bequest or another planned gift in your will might also lower taxes owing after your passing which increases that value of what you choose to leave to your family or loved ones. Glenwood is not able to provide legal or financial advice, so we encourage you to discuss this decision with your loved ones and consult a professional for further support.
