History

Rose Hill Burial Park ranks among the area’s largest and most distinguished cemeteries. Although it was officially founded in the 1920s, there are areas in the park where burials took place even earlier. The name Rose Hill comes from the landscaping and nursery service originally located on the property.

Rose Hill was an early leader in the cemetery world, becoming one of the first to set up an endowment care fund, ensuring that our grounds will be perpetually cared for.

Growing with the community

Lobby at Rose Hill Funeral Home & Burial ParkOver the years, many of Akron’s most prominent citizens have been laid to rest on our serene acres. Industrial and religious leaders, and even a Medal of Honor recipient, have been memorialized here.

As the park continued to grow, sections were added for people of certain organizations and religious beliefs—highlighting their service and faith. Today, Rose Hill has sections dedicated to those who served in the military, members of the Masons and the Order of the Eastern Star, and people of the Jewish faith. In the early '80s, Rose Hill opened a beautiful mausoleum complex.

Adding a modern funeral home

In the early 1990s, Rose Hill Burial Park became the only cemetery in the area to have a funeral home adjacent to its lovely grounds, giving families an added convenience. Since that time, Rose Hill Funeral Home has been a vital part of the community.

Ratings & Reviews

Verified Customer Reviews

Since 2005, many of our customers have taken the time to tell us how we did each year via our Voice of the Customer program. Our star ratings and comments from families come directly from these surveys.

"The team was great and allowed us time to take in the entire service at the funeral home and did not rush us out the door to the cemetery. They scheduled the the internment ceremony at the National Cemetery far enough away from the service time that we had time to talk to loved ones after the service and make the 40 min drive to the cemetery with e

nough time. All our requests were met and they made accommodations for our requests even on short notice."

"The entire process was very easy and the staff very accommodating. Since we were travelling from out of town, they made every attempt to make this as easy as possible for us. From the moment we entered the door, having just landed at the airport, Stephanie offered us a coffee and it only got better from there!"
