Greenwood Memorial Park Funeral Home

Greenwood Memorial Park & Funeral Home, located at 350 Monroe Avenue NE in Renton, Washington, is a distinguished funeral home and cemetery serving the Renton, South King County, and Seattle communities since 1910. The 40-acre memorial park, established in 1910, is renowned for its serene setting with mature trees and beautifully landscaped gardens. The funeral home, which opened on the cemetery property in 1984, underwent a complete professional remodel in 2017, featuring modern furniture, calming wall colors, and state-of-the-art amenities. Together, the funeral home and cemetery provide a seamless experience for families making final arrangements.

As part of the Dignity Memorial network, Greenwood offers a comprehensive range of end-of-life options including traditional burial, cremation, water cremation, and human composting—a natural alternative that returns the body to nutrient-rich soil. The funeral home specializes in personalized memorial services that reflect the unique passions and personality of each loved one, whether through displaying antique cars, handmade quilts, or other meaningful items. For cremation, they guarantee custody of care and use exclusively Dignity Memorial-owned crematories.

The facility includes a spacious funeral chapel seating 150 guests (expandable to nearly 200), two intimate gathering rooms for visitations, and a reception room that accommodates up to 50 for catered events. Modern technology includes a high-quality video and sound system for multimedia tributes, as well as webcasting for remote attendees.

Greenwood Memorial Park is especially noted for its cultural inclusivity, serving families from diverse backgrounds including Filipino, Ukrainian, Russian, Chinese, and Hmong communities. Staff members speak English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, and Filipino. The chapel is equipped for Buddhist services with incense ventilation, and the grounds feature designated areas for burning joss paper. Special gardens—the Garden of Eternal Peace and Lotus Garden—were designed with input from a feng shui master to honor Asian traditions.

The cemetery offers a variety of burial options: private family mausoleums, a patio mausoleum, indoor glass-front niches, lawn crypts, and cremation memorialization such as estates, benches, and columbaria. Greenwood Memorial Park is the final resting place of several notable individuals, including politicians, entrepreneurs, soldiers, and a legendary rock star, with the oldest marker dating back to 1887. The funeral home also hosts annual community events such as a Ching Ming festival and a Memorial Day weekend tribute to veterans, which includes a flyover and placement of American flags.
