EVERGREEN DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

Evergreen Burial Park, the foundational property of today's Evergreen Memorial Trust, was established in Roanoke County in 1916. Roanoke City later annexed that portion of the county and developed the land around the cemetery. Evergreen's popularity was established from the start. The cemetery expanded from in-ground burial, to include private and public mausoleum entombment. When the Fern Cliff Abby Mausoleum neared its capacity, Evergreen constructed the Chapel of Light, which includes an attractive interior space for services, as well as interior and exterior entombment crypts and niches.
