In addition to maintaining parks, the City of Newton Parks Department is responsible for maintaining Newton’s loved ones’ final resting places. Parks Superintendent Hondo Collins said the cemetery keeps the department busy year-round, but with the warmer weather coming up, maintenance would be increasing. Newton has two city-run cemeteries: Greenwood and Restlawn. According to the city, Greenwood is one of the largest municipal cemeteries in Kansas, with 15,000 filled lots and between 100 to 150 burials each year. Greenwood was founded in 1872 and is 71.35 acres. Restlawn is 15.09 acres.
