History

Cemetery grounds at Cedar Hill Cemetery The growth and development of Cedar Hill Cemetery attests to the vision of David Engel, its founder. On November 4, 1874, David Engel, a wealthy merchant of Baltimore City, purchased a tract of land in northern Anne Arundel County. Soon thereafter, Engel established the Cedar Hill Cemetery Company and became 1 of the 7 members of the Board of Directors.

David Engel’s involvement with the management of the new cemetery was short lived when he died at his home on May 25, 1875. After making generous bequests to his brothers and sisters, to several charitable organizations and to his church, David Engel specified in his will that he was to be buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery.

We now have 35 Gardens, freestanding mausoleums in the Garden of Honor and Apostles, 2 Chapel Mausoleums (which have crypts available both inside and out), and our Last Supper Mausoleum has 8 levels with all crypts on the outside.
