Greenlawn Memorial Park was the vision of Ed Helm (1891-1952). Having already established Bakersfield Monument Company in 1927, he witnessed a rapidly growing Bakersfield and knew that the time would come when additional interment property would be needed. To that end, Greenlawn Memorial Park was established in 1931, and in 1934, the planning process began for Greenlawn Mortuary.
In 1941 Ed himself turned the first shovelful of earth for what would become the location of the chapel. Greenlawn president, Jim La Mar, shares a message of hope and perspective as we move through the difficult times we face. From a Friend of the Family. We are now offering a service called Hugs From Home that will give those not attending a funeral service the chance to still share their words of love and support.
