Our Newest Development

Dearborn Pavilion

Officially opened in 2019, Dearborn Pavilion is the newest development here at Forest Hills Cemetery. Designed as a boutique outdoor garden mausoleum, there are 256 crypt spaces and 384 niche spaces which provide numerous options for yourself or your loved ones.

Fern Hill
Cremation Garden

The Fern Hill Cremation Garden, which comprises an outdoor columbarium, areas for in-ground cremation burial, and a scattering garden, was designed to harmonize with the surrounding landscape in order to accentuate the natural beauty of the area.

The Chapel of Grace

Forest Hills Cemetery is proud to present our newest cremation urn columbarium — Chapel of Grace.

This inviting chapel is outfitted with generously-sized niches, varying in price and location. Each niche glows with the warmth of individual LED lights, showcasing a decorative urn choice and your loved one’s framed photograph.

Unique & Special Options

Historic Burial Grounds

Over the last few years, Forest Hills Cemetery has initiated a project to identify gravesites in the historical areas of the Cemetery. We are fortunate that the original founders and designers of Forest Hills Cemetery provided for generous margins of land between family lots — today these are areas that we can offer for burial.

Words from Our Families and Friends

One of the biggest and most beautiful cemeteries in New England. Unique, well maintained, and plenty to see. Peaceful. I had a long ride to get here, so I was so happy they had a bathroom and it was clean lol.

Was planning on going to a different cemetery while visiting Boston, but it was closed earlier than expected and I’m so glad. Forest hills was so beautiful. We followed the green line on the ground which led us to a really nice security guard who told us we could pull over anywhere so long as our car wasn’t on the grass

On a sunny winter day, when I seek solitude and deep reflection, I venture to the Forest Hills Cemetery. The snow-covered grounds, illuminated by the bright winter sun, sparkle with an ethereal light, giving the cemetery an almost serene, otherworldly beauty

I recently read about the lives of poets Sylvia Plath & Anne Sexton. Since I’m in the 02321 for a house-sitting gig, I decided to pilgrimage to Sexton’s gravesite in Forest Hills cemetery–an absolute hidden gem (the cemetery, not the gravesite)
