Planning Your Visit:
​
Rose Hill Cemetery is more than just a cemetery -- in many respects, it is a nature preserve and outdoor art gallery in addition to being a sacred space for the deceased. Please keep the following in mind when visiting:
​
-
Do not walk into plots, both out of respect for families and also safety - many have underground crypts that are at risk of collapse.
-
Be mindful of funerals and keep a respectful distance from any visiting family members as there are still active burials ongoing in the cemetery.
-
The cemetery is large! Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water and sunscreen as there is not much shade.
-
Please be respectful of all grave sites, plots, and monuments - they are fragile despite being stone. Attempting to climb on or touch them may result in damage to the monuments or grievous personal harm.
-
When driving through the cemetery, be aware that there are some steep hills and very narrow roads that can give larger vehicles some difficulty.
