During the Spanish Flu epidemic in 1918-1999, it was put to use because of the rising death toll. It was sealed in the 1940s when Westview's Abbey Mausoleum was completed. 2021-01-13T21:59:58+00:00monthlyhttps://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/2020/12/11/deep-in-the-heart-of-forth-worth-texas-stopping-by-greenwood-memorial-park-mausoleum/https://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/gcfirtcourtyard.jpgGCfirtcourtyardGreenwood's Mausoleum features a number of indoor and outdoor courtyards.https://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/gcfinalangel.jpgGCFinalangelhttps://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/gccliburntomb.jpgGCCliburntombVan Cliburn died of bone cancer in 2013.https://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/gcvancliburnphoto.jpgGCVanCliburnphotoAt the age of 23, Van Cliburn captured the hearts of Russians and American alike after winning the International Tchaikovsky Competition. https://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/gcgeorgewashington.jpgGCGeorgeWashingtonStatue of America's first President, George Washington.https://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/gcihstainedglass2.jpgGCIHstainedglass2https://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/gc1776quote1.jpgGC1776quote1https://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/gwindependencechapel.jpgGWIndependenceChapelThe Mausoleum's Independence Chapel holds life-size statues of the United States' founding patriots and a 12-foot mosaic of the Great Seal of the United States. https://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/gwentombments.jpgGWentombmentsOne of the many hallways inside Greenwood's Mausoleum.https://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/gwglassfacedniches.jpgGWglassfacednichesThe cremation containers inside the niches vary widely in style and shape. 2022-04-08T19:00:01+00:00monthlyhttps://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/2020/12/04/deep-in-the-heart-of-dallas-texas-visiting-pioneer-cemetery-part-ii/https://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/pceakinsstatue1.jpgPCEakinsstatue1https://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/pceakinsstatue.jpgPCEakinsstatueThe Eakins family plot features this monument.

While he sympathized with revolutionaries during the French Revolution, he held a personal loyalty to the French royal family.

People could no longer afford (or didn’t want to) the expense of the family mausoleums.
