These are the hallmarks at every Evergreen Memorial Trust location, which include Evergreen Burial Park, Mountain View Cemetery, Mountain View Memorial Park, Forest Rest Natural Cemetery, and Green Hill Mausoleum. Evergreen Burial Park, the foundational property of today’s Evergreen Memorial Trust, was established in Roanoke County in 1916. acquired Mountain View Memorial Park in Boones Mill, Virginia, in adjacent Franklin County. In 2012, a portion of this property was set aside and platted as Forest Rest Natural Cemetery, the only “green” cemetery in the surrounding region. In 2009, Evergreen acquired Green Hill Mausoleum in Rockbridge County, north of Roanoke, located in the Green Hill Cemetery operated by the City of Buena Vista.

Parting Stones are smooth, solid stones created from cremated remains, designed to be held, shared, and kept close.

They offer a tangible way to remember:
A weight in the hand.
A presence in the home.
A moment of connection in everyday life.

Evergreen Memorial Trust can help families explore Parting Stones as a meaningful remembrance option alongside natural burial and other personalized choices offered by Evergreen Memorial Trust.

St. Patrick found renewal in hardship. This spring, tend to your mental health with the same care you give what you love. Small steps matter. As spring gets closer, try this simple mental health reset:
Spend 10 minutes outside each day. No phone. No rush. Just breathe.

Small moments of light and fresh air can lift heavy days.
At Evergreen Memorial Trust, we believe caring for the heart matters too. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Five Thoughtful Reasons Families Choose Natural Burial

Natural burial is a return to simplicity, dignity, and care for the earth. Here’s why many families are choosing it:

-Gentler on the environment – no vaults, minimal materials
-Lower overall cost – fewer required products and services
-Simple and dignified – focuses on the person, not the pageantry
-Honors personal values – faith-based, spiritual, or nature-centered
-Creates living legacy – supports conservation and the land

At Evergreen Memorial Trust, we help families choose what reflects their values.
Simple. Intentional. Done right.

Virginia has a long tradition of cemeteries serving as places of reflection, community memory, and local history. Families used to take “cemetery walks” not as something dark, but as a way to stay connected to names, stories, and roots. EMT keeps that tradition with well cared for spaces that honor both people and place.

A niche is a permanent, protected place for cremated remains. It keeps everything secure, provides a clear place to visit, and removes uncertainty for the next generation. This is one of the simplest ways to put "Gone is Gone" into action.
