The site selected was on property owned by the Morris Family, adjacent to Hillcrest Memorial Park & Mortuary, and located at the southwest base of Roxy Ann Butte. On this beautiful acreage with its rolling hills, this small cemetery landscaped with trees, flowers, shrubs and walkways, creates a lovely park-like setting for the final resting place of man's best friend.
In a caring and professional manner, Green Acres
provides an alternative to makeshift or landfill disposal of beloved pets – which now lie in permanent cared for graves and niches where your love is expressed in the beauty of nature. Green Acres Pet Cemetery
was founded in 1967 by the late Helen and Carlos Morris, in memory of Helen's sister, Gwendolyn Rutherford.
The Morris family, aware of Gwen's sincere love and concern for animals, made the decision to utilize monies from her estate to establish what was to be the first pet cemetery between San Francisco and Portland.
