Glenhaven Memorial Park Cemetery sits nestled in the oldest historical area of Winter park by many brick laid streets lit by old lamps and Victorian mansions. Its an area most would over look but once your in the cemetery its very spread out and wide open much like a football field.

The cemetery is full of many flat stones, gardens, mausoleums, marble walkways, and stairwells leading to various terraces. There is a trail leading to another hidden area where fresh treed marks and dirt are dug up so it seems they are building more mausoleums and room for graves.

There is a few monuments but mainly for veterans here. One of them is a giant archway with a cross in the middle sitting on a stone wall which can be seen from blocks away. There is a few statues of Jesus, Mary, Joseph and even Gabriel the Angel but for the most part all the stones are flat with inscriptions.

There is a burial of a man named John Fox a businessman who was the founder of Minute Maid and revolutionized frozen orange juice concentrate. He also popularized the Chiquita brand name banana by putting a Chiquita sticker on the bananas. 

Other then that this is probably the least haunted cemetery I ever visited and its real serene here as well.
