Overview
Forest Hill Cemetery has been in continuous operation since its incorporation in 1850 by the not-for-profit, non-sectarian Utica Cemetery Association. Spanning 166 acres—119 of which are developed—the cemetery provides a dignified and secure resting place within a serene, park-like setting that overlooks the city of Utica.
Referred to as "Utica's Outdoor Museum," Forest Hill is known for its rich historical value, with many local, state and national leaders resting there. Contributions will go towards maintaining, preserving and enhancing the cemetery for generations to come, including, but not limited to, the restoration of the Silas D. Childs Chapel, which is in need of repairs on both the interior and exterior.
