Rosehill Cemetery is one of the oldest and most illustrious in all of Chicago. Established in 1859, Rosehill continues to serve as Chicago's largest and oldest cemetery grounds. Sprawling over 350 acres, with over 20 miles of winding pathways decorated with memorials, monuments, obelisks, and decorations, Rosehill Cemetery has long offered Chicago residents a sense of security and safety amidst social and political change, disasters, wars, fire and disease.

Located just minutes west of the shores of Lake Michigan between Western Avenue and N. Ashland Avenue, Rosehill Cemetery covers entire city blocks of gently rolling hills, and is beautifully landscaped with regional plantings of trees, shrubbery, and flowers. Rosehill

is indeed a location which honors the memory of loved ones going back to the Civil War and is the resting place of many of Chicago's originating pioneers, politicians, and even gangsters.

Rosehill Cemetery was landscaped by William Saunders, and is the home of the city's largest public mausoleum and the resting place of Civil War generals, a former vice president of the United States and retail manufacturing magnates Montgomery Ward and Richard Sears. Rosehill Cemetery staff members offer a large range of services and options for families such as burial plots, crypts and mausoleums, memorials and services.

Sections of the cemetery offer private gardens and burial plots for politicians, Civil War veterans, veterans of other wars, as well as finely sculptured gates, obelisks, memorials and monuments that date back to the mid 19th century. Situated on the north side of Chicago, the seclusion and privacy afforded by the unique design and structure of Rosehill

Cemetery offer visitors and grieving loved ones the privacy, serenity, and sense of comfort that is truly appreciated by all who step inside her boundaries.
