A new name will accompany other changes to Green Acres cemetery to be announced this week, its new owner said Tuesday.

Greenlawn Gardens Cemetery will be the new title of the perpetual care burial grounds on U.S. 80 once new signs arrive, said Harry Sharp, who completed a purchase of the cemetery last week after a 19-month inquiry into its finances threw it into receivership.

“The first order of business is replacing the signage,” Sharp said, adding letters detailing the aesthetic enhancements will be mailed to lot owners during the next week.

Sharp, operator of Duff Green Mansion, bid $135,000 in cash for the 43-acre cemetery in a public sale in September. The bid also included $51,000 to pay for the new signs and to repair roads throughout the property, which Sharp said is next up on an improvements list expected to take 12 to 36 months, and a 30 percent discount on memorials, opening charges and vaults for customers who had to pay a second time for those items due to the cemetery’s financial situation, Sharp said.

Sharp was tapped in 2009 to manage the burial site after the state was appointed receiver of the business via court order, part of a suit filed by the Secretary of State’s Office against the cemetery’s former owners. The cemetery’s trust account for holding pre-need merchandise was found to be missing about $375,000, forcing people to pay for items such as markers and vaults all over again.

More landscaping and irrigation equipment is part of the long-term plan as well, as are an above-ground mausoleum and standing monuments, Sharp has said.
