Mausoleum Services at Forest Hills Cemetery
In the fall of 2019, construction was completed on Forest Hills Cemetery’s first community mausoleum—an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to providing meaningful memorial options for families.
Mausoleums have long served as enduring tributes, offering a dignified and lasting way to honor loved ones. They create a peaceful, sheltered space where families can gather, reflect, and preserve cherished memories. At Forest Hills Cemetery, this tradition continues within a serene and historic setting, thoughtfully designed to provide both comfort and permanence.
A Personalized Tribute
Personalization is at the heart of every meaningful memorial.
Mausoleums offer a unique opportunity to create a tribute that reflects the individuality of a loved one. From custom engravings to stained glass and architectural details, each space can be thoughtfully designed to honor personal values, cultural traditions, and aesthetic preferences.
Whether classical or contemporary in style, a mausoleum becomes more than a final resting place—it is a lasting expression of remembrance, respect, and love. Built with enduring materials and crafted with care, these structures provide both protection and beauty, creating a space that can be visited and appreciated for generations.
Private Mausoleums
Forest Hills Cemetery offers both private family mausoleums and community mausoleum spaces to meet a variety of needs.
Private family mausoleums provide an intimate and exclusive setting, allowing multiple generations to be honored together. These custom-built spaces create a shared legacy, offering families a quiet place for reflection and connection.
Community Mausoleum
Community mausoleums, like the one completed in 2019, offer an elegant and accessible alternative. Designed with care and respect, they provide individual spaces within a shared environment—fostering a sense of unity while still honoring each person’s unique life.
Unlike traditional in-ground burial, mausoleum interment offers above-ground placement, providing protection from environmental conditions and ensuring a clean, well-maintained setting year-round. This brings added peace of mind and comfort to many families.

Words from Our Families and Friends
On a sunny winter day, when I seek solitude and deep reflection, I venture to the Forest Hills Cemetery. The snow-covered grounds, illuminated by the bright winter sun, sparkle with an ethereal light, giving the cemetery an almost serene, otherworldly beauty
Was planning on going to a different cemetery while visiting Boston, but it was closed earlier than expected and I’m so glad. Forest hills was so beautiful. We followed the green line on the ground which led us to a really nice security guard who told us we could pull over anywhere so long as our car wasn’t on the grass
One of the biggest and most beautiful cemeteries in New England. Unique, well maintained, and plenty to see. Peaceful. I had a long ride to get here, so I was so happy they had a bathroom and it was clean lol.
I recently read about the lives of poets Sylvia Plath & Anne Sexton. Since I’m in the 02321 for a house-sitting gig, I decided to pilgrimage to Sexton’s gravesite in Forest Hills cemetery–an absolute hidden gem (the cemetery, not the gravesite)
