What can you leave on a loved one’s gravesite when visiting?
We allow one hanging basket per gravesite. The basket that is allowed in a 12” maximum, plastic planter with a handle. Everything that you would place on the gravesite (flowers, stones, statues, and flags) must be inside this basket. Only live flowers may be used during the “growing season” which is from May 1 – October 31. Please see visits and decorations under “about” on the website for more information.
When are the Winter Blankets – balsam blankets placed?
From October 31 – April 30th, the cemetery allows artificial flowers. This allows the placement of various winter arrangements. Rose Hill Memorial Park hand makes and sells “winter blankets”. Order forms a mailed to past customers and families of those who lost a loved one during the prior year. Winter blankets start to be placed mid-November and are continuously placed throughout the season in the order they were received. We do not guarantee that they will be placed until the week prior to Christmas.

The person being buried must own the lot. There are steps to take if another family member or someone else wishes to be buried in a lot they do not own. The office can provide you with these steps.
Full burial lots – For caskets we require at least a “grave liner”.
Cremations – We require a stainless steel urn or a “urn/vault” combo style urn. You may also choose any other style urn, but will need a cement vault for it. They size vault depends on where the urn is being buried. There are other requirements for companion urns that they office can help you with.

Rose Hill Memorial Park is pleased to announce a new memorial option.
We are now offering memorial markers that include a photo of your choice. Years ago, we discontinued this feature due to concerns about durability in the New England climate. However, our vendor has recently introduced new technology that is expected to withstand our weather conditions.
As a result, we are excited to make this meaningful option available once again. Please note that this enhancement is available only for new memorial markers and cannot be added to existing markers.
There is an additional cost of $600 for this photo feature.
If you’re interested in learning more or including a photo on a new memorial, we would be happy to assist you.
