Located on 1030 Greenwood Dr., Greenwood Cemetery was established in 1888 on 6.2 hectares (15.3 acres) of land. The former Town of Burlington began operating the cemetery in 1968.
In 2011, Lorne J. McMillan donated 0.8 hectares (two acres) of adjoining land to the cemetery in memory of the four generations of McMillans who farmed the land from 1900 to 2012.
This cemetery expansion included:
- Burial plots, urn gardens and columbarium areas
- Trees and shrubs
- Planting beds
- Fencing
- Small public space
