Beautiful cemetery with a friendly and helpful staff. As an amateur radio operator it was also neat being able to visit the final resting place of Hiram Percy Maxim (founder of the ARRL).

To all the staff at Rose Hill thank you for helping me lay my 8 month old baby boy to rest on September 30th. It made me feel better knowing that he is surrounded by other babies in "ANGEL LAND ".and it's only a 10 minute walk from my house. Thank you very much.
