Greenwood Cemetery is one of the most well-maintained and respected cemeteries in the state of Colorado. Those that are managing it keep it cleared of any debris, overgrowth and preserve the headstones that are still in existence. The town of Canon City has a staff that secures the cemetery at night starting at sunset and reopens its gates at sunrise.

Multiple volunteers have assisted with a list of those buried at Greenwood Cemetery along with several that are buried at the International Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery (indicated across the street). The three ring binder that includes the list of those registered as being buried in the cemetery is within the log cabin drop down door for your use while at the cemetery. Included with the binder is a detailed map to find the sections as they are on record.

This cemetery has a number of the deceased prisoners from the state penitentiary located in Canon City. Two sections in the back corners have metal impressed plaques with a name and dates.
