PROSPECT HILL: A COMMUNITY TREASURE
Welcome to Prospect Hill Cemetery, a six-acre, green oasis in the heart of Towson, Maryland. In operation since 1892, the cemetery is the final resting place of some of Baltimore County’s most prominent and interesting citizens. Prospect Hill is a non-denominational and non-profit cemetery managed by an all-volunteer board.
Prospect Hill is both richly historic and an active, perpetual care cemetery that offers cremation and traditional ground burial lots. Contact us to learn what options are available for you and your family.
Our park-like grounds with winding paths provide a respite from the busy town surrounding them. Take a moment to stroll through this peaceful place online or in person – and step into Baltimore County history!
Prospect Hill News
Prospect Hill in Spring
The turn of the seasons brings new growth and beauty into the world, including in Prospect Hill Cemetery. Not only are the trees and bushes showing renewed color and foliage. Families are encouraged to plant bulbs or beautify the graves of loved relations and friends with cut seasonal flowers. Just a gentle reminder that while life goes on, those dear to us are not forgotten.
Prospect Hill in Late Winter
Even in the barren cold, there are visible signs that families have visited to honor their loved ones. Those spots of color amidst the grey stones and sculptural shapes of the bare trees add greatly to the beauty of the cemetery.
Wildlife visiting Prospect Hill Cemetery
Prospect Hill has many visitors, some of the non-human variety. A large buck was spotted numerous times over last summer, and this red-shouldered hawk was one of two seen in the cemetery in December.
Prospect Hill depends on volunteers to provide financial support. Your generous, tax-deductible donations make it possible for us as a 501(c)13 charitable organization to continue to maintain and beautify the cemetery.
