Welcome to Rose Hill Burial Ground
Rose Hill is one of the most scenic and peaceful settings in Yorkshire and a very special place to celebrate nature and life.
The burial ground makes as little impact on the surroundings as possible so that the natural beauty is always maintained.
We like to encourage families to slow things down, allowing time to reflect and absorb what has happened. Later on to spend time at the burial ground, in the fresh air, listening to the birdsong, and giving themselves the space and peace to grieve.
We believe that it is important for our burial ground to have a secure future, and that it is both environmentally and economically sustainable, and for this reason we have unobtrusive horizontal green slate plaques as our memorials making it easier for long term maintenance and also less to vandalise, whist providing a much appreciated tribute to loved ones. Another advantage of using the slate plaques is that the remaining grave can be planted with spring bulbs which make a marvellous natural spring show.
We love what we do, are dedicated to maintaining the standards and qualities that make our burial ground so special, and continue to be hugely encouraged by the support from bereaved families. We would like to thank them all.
