Rosehill Cemetery has provided cemetery services to the Chicagoland area since the mid-1800s. For over a century and a half, our commitment has remained unchanged while our cemetery services have always responded to the changing needs of the community. Rosehill is one of Chicago’s famous historical cemeteries. If you visit on a weekend, you often will see groups of people walking throughout the cemetery looking at the historical monuments, including the famous Firefighters Memorial, and enjoying the day. Many of Chicago’s notables have their final resting place here, including a vice president of the United States. Rosehill is also known for the many Civil War soldiers who are buried here. There are three separate services held every Memorial Day to commemorate these individuals. We offer families two separate walking tours that they may enjoy on their own. The first tour is a map listing the Civil War notables and where they are located in the cemetery. The second tour includes a detailed map of the Chicago notables who are buried here.
