ESTABLISHED IN 1848, Forest Hills Cemetery is one of America s most beautiful and historic burial grounds. An example of the rural garden cemetery movement, Forest Hills was conceived to offer the public a place to bury and remember friends and family, to experience nature, and to refresh and renew the spirit. Over 160 years of tradition have shaped a unique place with a deep commitment to respectful care in splendid surroundings. Still fully active today, Forest Hills has cremation and burial options for all, at varying price points in both our most historic locations as well as our fine contemporary gardens. Fern Hill, our wooded cremation garden, includes above ground niches and inground graves nestled among an ambling path of ferns, hydrangeas and rhododendrons. The Chapel of Grace, our newest indoor urn chapel, located at our Walk Hill Street columbarium facility, features a wide selection of bright and welcoming niches. All preneed arrangements can be paid for with our 0% interest,18-month payment plan. Whether you are planning ahead for your own future interment or following a sudden loss, our attentive and knowledgeable sales staff can guide you through all the necessary steps to complete the final arrangements. To learn more about our offerings, please call for an appointment or sales packet that we can send to your home. It is our honor to serve you and welcome you into the Forest Hills family.
