Discover why families across Harford County choose Forest Hill Cemetery for respectful, affordable burial in a peaceful setting close to home.
Forest Hill Cemetery was founded in 2025 by the Church of Reconciliation with a mission rooted in compassion.
The founders recognized a troubling reality: burial costs across the country had become increasingly difficult for many families to afford.
In some communities, families facing hardship are forced into minimal arrangements simply because traditional burial is financially out of reach.
Forest Hill Cemetery was created to ensure that families in Harford County always have access to a dignified burial option.
Our mission is simple:
To come alongside families during times of loss and help provide a peaceful and meaningful resting place.
Although Forest Hill Cemetery was founded by a church, it was never intended to be limited to one congregation or faith tradition.
Forest Hill Cemetery is a public cemetery open to the entire community.
Families of all backgrounds, beliefs, and traditions are welcome.
The cemetery serves families from across Forest Hill, Bel Air, Fallston, Jarrettsville, Churchville, and throughout Harford County.
Our goal is to create a place where the entire community can come to remember loved ones with dignity and respect.
