CHAPEL SERVICES

We are fortunate to have three beautiful chapels on the grounds of Forest Hills. The Forsyth Chapel is located at the main Cemetery entrance and is truly a tribute to 19th century architecture, with its striking elegance and symmetry. Paneled in carved wood, with a soaring cathedral ceiling and stained glass windows, the Forsyth Chapel is a most appropriate and respectful setting for the variety of services. The accoustics are superb, and although any style of music is welcome, family and friends can arrange to use our unique Hook and Hastings pipe organ. Our office staff can usually provide a few names of organists and soloists. The Forsyth Chapel seats 120.

The Lucy Stone Chapel and the Pitman Chapel are located at the Forest Hills Crematory. These elegant chapels provide a magnificent setting for memorial services or related gatherings. Built in 1893, the Lucy Stone Chapel is named for the noted Boston feminist and abolitionist who was also the first person to be cremated in Massachusetts. This Chapel's airy neoclassical style has an eternal elegance; it seats 125. The oak-panelled Pitman Chapel offers a more intimate space for smaller services, seating 75.

Your choice of these chapels can be reserved for your special service by contacting our staff in advance. They provide a lovely, gracious place for a viewing service just prior to cremation or interment, for a memorial service held at a time after cremation or burial, or for any other services. Clergy, family and friends may make tributes to the deceased, and flowers may be displayed.
