Proud to Serve Rochester’s Past, Honored to Serve Its Future 
Why Select Mount Hope for your interment needs?
Mount Hope Cemetery, one of the most remarkable Victorian cemeteries in America, is a magnificent 196 acres of lofty hills and picturesque valleys created by glaciers and transformed into a beautiful historic cemetery. A diversified forest of trees forms an arboretum shading thousands of marble, bronze, and granite monuments. The cemetery is a veritable museum of funerary sculpture and mausoleums spanning more than a century and a half.
At Mount Hope we are committed to providing customers with innovative interment and cremation options to meet current and future needs. The cemetery offers unique ground burial sites for both full body and cremated remains among its 196 acres of forest, niches in free-standing columbaria to hold cremated remains, and designated gardens for the scattering of cremated remains. 
Options to construct private mausoleums and columbaria are also available.
Mount Hope is certified as hybrid burial grounds by the Green Burial Council. The cemetery offers a designated green burial section set within the historic landscape of the cemetery and the choice for green burial anywhere in the cemetery. Please see the brochure, "The Garden of Renewal at Mount Hope Cemetery and Other Green Burial" for additional information.
