I SCATTERED THE ASHES..NOW WHAT?
While Forest Hill Cemetery & Arboretum does not permit scattering of ashes nor does it have a scattering garden, we would like to offer the following,
Today, nearly half of all those cremated are scattered. Many who have scattered the remains of a love one describe an enduring sense of emptiness, of not having a place suitable to the grieving process. Forest Hill Cemetery & Arboretum has the answer.
Our tree memorial program provides a fitting all natural remembrance of loved ones who have been scattered. Each tree memorial has a plaque memorializing the loved one. The beautiful trees are located throughout the cemetery and are available to see at any time.
Bench memorials provide an opportunity to personalize a beautiful granite bench, providing a stately, contemplative memorial of your loved one. Come out and see us or call (937)-773-2614.
This is really great news! This year we have received two grants, one from the Hartzell-Norris Trust and one from the Niels and Ruth Lundgard Charitable Trust for the purchase of software and mapping program for the cemetery. This is a great program that allows you to find someone in the cemetery and not only find where they are but be shown the location and how to get there from the entrance. This program allows so much more and more information will be coming forth soon.
