Evergreen Cemetery (Richmond, Virginia)

The most recent burial in the historic section of the cemetery dates from the 1980s.

Much of the privately owned cemetery had completely overgrown with kudzu or is returning to forest until the late 2010's.

However, in recent years (2019–2022) community efforts have made noticeable progress in cleaning.

In 1970, the association sold its more than 5,000 plots to Metropolitan Memorial Services, which soon went bankrupt.

A group of black funeral-home directors later bought the site at auction.
