Hidden away in the back of the historic Greenwood Cemetery in Lancaster, is the nation’s first public crematorium and second crematory ever in the United States. This historic building still has its original crematorium marble slab sign. The structure was constructed in 1884 by Philip Dinkelberg during a time when the idea of cremation was vastly opposed. In 1884, the Lancaster New Era wrote that it was the only crematorium in the U.S. for daily use. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 14, 1983.
