With approximately 1,400 acres of property available for current use and future development, Rose Hills Memorial Park is considered to be the largest single-operated cemetery in the world. While Rose Hills is a non-sectarian cemetery, some of its lawns have been designated for use by ethnic, religious, and fraternal organizations.

At Rose Hills, a wide range of cemetery property is available for memorialization in a variety of scenic settings, some with spectacular views, including spacious lawns for traditional burials; mausoleum crypts for entombments; and niches, urn gardens, and a scattering lawn for those preferring cremation.

A 10-foot-high, 200-foot-long memorial wall constructed of black granite provides a permanent place for families to remember their loved ones. The names of family members, whose remains have been scattered or interred at Rose Hills, or anywhere in the world, may be etched on the wall in memoriam.

For families wanting the foremost in distinctive memorialization, Rose Hills has set aside property for private and semi-private garden sites, some specifically designed with the input of the family. At other sites, families may select from among several plans or work with Rose Hills' architects to create their own design within existing architectural themes. This unique and innovative concept for memorialization allows for the greatest flexibility, and enables an individual or family to establish a truly exclusive memorial reflecting their particular style.

Mausoleums
Whittier Heights Mausoleum, built in 1917, is considered to be the second public mausoleum built in California and portrays a sense of early California architecture with its Spanish Renaissance influence.

El Portal de la Paz (Doorway of Peace) was dedicated in 1930 as part of the initial expansion program at the cemetery. Complete with an enclosed outdoor garden and fountain, Rose Hills' second mausoleum reflects California's early Spanish Mission era.

Rose Hills has four outdoor mausoleums, which were built as the community's needs continued to grow. Terrace of Memories garden mausoleum was opened in 1957, followed by Court of Eternal Light in 1961, Mausoleum of the Valley in 1964, and Lakeview Mausoleum Phase I in 1981. Since then three other additions to Lakeview Mausoleum have been added. The fourth and final phase was completed in 1995 and incorporates an outdoor garden style mausoleum with a two-story interior corridor that has a ground level atrium, an upper level mezzanine, and for the first time at Rose Hills, a lower level area for non-visitation crypts.

Chapels
Small and intimate, Rainbow Chapel was built in 1942 and is an outstanding example of early California Mission architecture. This chapel features large windows overlooking lovely secluded gardens. Rainbow Chapel seats up to 94 people.

Hillside Chapel, built in 1956, is a contemporary diamond- shaped structure surrounded by an attractive garden area. The interior was created for an inspiring effect of a continuing sunrise through its rose-tinted skylight and 22-foot-high windows. Hillside Chapel seats up to 200 people.

From a distance, Memorial Chapel is easily recognizable with its three tall, white spires rising into the sky. Situated on one of Rose Hills' gentle rolling hillsides, this chapel was completed in 1964 as a memorial to the late John D. Gregg (president of Rose Hills from 1950 - 1959). Enclosed with glass on two sides, Memorial Chapel offers visitors the opportunity to sit within and look out over the beautiful valley below. 

The stunning SkyRose Chapel is centrally located inside Gate One at Rose Hills Memorial Park on a prominent hilltop site that has a commanding view of the San Gabriel Valley and the Los Angeles Skylines to the West and the serene Sycamore Valley to the East.
