The Historical Preservation Fund

ESTABLISHED 1863

Our goal is to maintain the beauty of the cemetery for the community and in memory of our family and friends, who are here interred.

Your contributions will go towards upkeep and beautification of cemetery buildings, monuments and structures; many of which are over 100 years old.

Rosehill Cemetery

Founded in 1859, the 350-acre Rosehill Cemetery is the largest—and one of the older—cemeteries in the city of Chicago. When you walk through the magnificent Gothic-style entry gate, you will feel transported away from the hustle and bustle of the Windy City into a serene and beautiful place.

As you meander through the vast property, you’ll notice historic Victorian-era architecture and monuments, a grand mausoleum, incredible statuary, statuesque trees and lovely shade-providing trees.
