Our attentive team of funeral directors will listen to your stories and create the ideal fitting tribute.

Funeral home amenities

When you step into Rose Hill Funeral Home, adorned with intricate stained-glass windows, you will experience the warmth of our interfaith chapel.

History

Rose Hill Burial Park ranks among the area’s largest and most distinguished cemeteries. Although it was officially founded in the '20s, there are areas in the park where burials took place even earlier. The name Rose Hill was derived from the landscaping and nursery service originally located on the property. Rose Hill was an early cemetery leader, becoming one of the 1st cemeteries to set up an endowment care fund, ensuring that its grounds would be perpetually cared for—even if no more burials took place.

Cemetery growth

Over 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, can be found memorialized on the grounds. As the park continued to grow, sections were added for people of certain organizations and religions beliefs—highlighting their service or 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 our beautiful mausoleum complex. 

Modern funeral home added

In the early '90s, 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 maintained involvement in our 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.

"I felt we were treated as royalty from start to finish. The counselor, Deanna, was very kind and friendly. She explained everything with patience and understanding. She encouraged us to remain after the service to observe the smooth operation of the crew and machinery in placing the casket in the vault and the vault in the grave. It was a very dignified and final closing to the whole event. I want to thank all involved for a very eloquent, moving and satisfying experience. It could not have been done better."
