Proud to Serve Rochester's Past, Honored to Serve its Future

Continuous Service Since 1838

Rochester is gifted with two outstanding cemeteries. Riverside Cemetery with its rolling natural beauty was designed to provide serenity in landscape that is not only pleasing to the eye, but also conveys an assurance of permanence. Mount Hope Cemetery is one of the largest and oldest municipal Victorian cemeteries in the United States. It is the resting place of many dignified and internationally known individuals. Today, Rochester’s cemeteries are still being chosen as the final resting place by families seeking comfort in knowing their loved ones will rest here in peace.
