Did you know that cemetery vases are reversible to help prevent damage?

A lot of people are surprised to learn that their vase is not missing, but turned down instead. Always make sure to double check your vase and if you will not be using, turn it down to keep it safe!

Did you know planning your final arrangements ahead of time can help you tell your story your way?

One of the things that we as people value above all others is the legacy and memories we leave behind for others to remember us by. If you have specific preferences for the disposition of your remains and the nature of your memorial services, you can clearly express them in your final arrangement plans. When you plan your arrangements yourself, you get to make special requests; of certain people attend, can ensure that certain religious rites are preformed, can request that special family tradition are carried out or incorporate your passions or hobbies. Our families have appreciated the ability to have their final services planned so they are the authors of the story it tells. Contact us to receive our complementary guide that can take you through these tasks and help prepare you and your family.

Our Story

Established in 1888, Forest Hill & Calvary Cemetery in Kansas City, Missouri is located near University of Missouri - Kansas City and the historic battlefield of Westport. Consisting of 157 developed acres upon a total of 320 acres, the grounds feature winding tree-lined roads with rolling hills. Theodore Roosevelt on his last visit to Kansas City before his death remarked that these grounds consisted of the finest collection of trees he had ever seen. There are many unique artistic monuments, and the grave markers read as a who’s who of Kansas City history.

Forest Hill & Calvary Cemetery offers traditional in-ground burial, community and private mausoleums, niches, and lawn crypts.
