History: Rose Hill began as a small cemetery with only 1 acre. Over the years it has increased in size to over 1400. Much of the land that was acquired for the cemetery was rugged hillside and 25 million cubic yards of earth was moved to create the cemetery that we have today. Rose Hill is the final resting place for many of southern California's residents and with 2500 acres of land holdings, it will continue to prosper for many generations to come.
