Our Story
Cedar Hill Funeral Home, Inc. is located on Cedar Hill Cemetery, a picturesque wooded cemetery. Our new full service 15,000+ square foot funeral home facility is designed with our families in mind.
The cemetery consists of 150 acres, which holds many scenic landmarks and two distinctive bridges overlooking ponds that serve as homes for wildlife. An interesting fact about the cemetery is that it is the location where the early churches performed their baptisms. The oldest known tombstone reads, “Philenia W. Patte, Nov. 19, 1871, 58 years.” There is also a mass grave for the victims of the Terra Cotta Railroad wreck that occurred near Washington, DC. It was reported in the Star newspaper on Dec, 31, 1906 that there were more than 50 victims and 45 bodies identified. Over the years, several movies, as well as a documentary, were filmed here. Our chapel has hosted many weddings, and our pond has been the backdrop for numerous pictures for special occasions. To date, Cedar Hill has had more than 65,000 burials.
Cedar Hill Funeral Home, Inc. and Cemetery offers you unparalleled convenience. Located on the border of Maryland and the District of Columbia, you can arrange for complete funeral services -- all in one location. The entire facility is designed to be handicapped accessible.
