CREMATION SERVICES AT FOREST HILLS

If cremation is your choice, you will find that Forest Hills Cemetery is the appropriate destination. As the first crematory established in New England, we have more than 100 years of experience providing families with a complete professional program of cremation at our on-site, state of the art crematory. We also offer a broad selection of today’s most popular memorial options, including columbarium rooms for urn placement and display, a scattering garden, and an outdoor columbarium in a beautiful natural setting.

Since 1893, only forty years after the consecration of Forest Hills Cemetery, cremation has been a vital part of the services offered in this beautiful garden cemetery. We have honored the tradition of cremation as preparation for memorialization. At Forest Hills we offer in-ground burial, a scattering garden, residence in one of the chapels of our indoor columbarium or a selection of niches in Fern Hill, an outdoor columbarium that offers a beautiful forested setting. Even when you choose to scatter remains, we encourage you to think about creating a memorial that offers a way to visit and remember.

In addition, people may choose to dedicate a picturesque tree or a bench to a friend or family member. People who make this choice generously contribute to the beauty of Forest Hills while creating a special place to honor the memory of the departed. Other unique memorial options may include adding a custom designed stained glass window in one of our chapels, or engraving a name on one of the bronze leaves of our memorial "Tree of Remembrance."
