Rose Hill Burial Park

Rose Hill Burial Park is at 3535 West Market Street, Fairlawn, Ohio (Summit County).  Some maps show this street as Medina Road or State Route 18.  Before being incorporated into Fairlawn, this cemetery was in Bath Township.  However, family records usually show this cemetery as being in Akron and its postal address is Akron.  The office is immediately west of the cemetery at 3653 West Market Street in the Catavolos Funeral Home.

Most Sections in the cemetery are bounded by roads.  Section numbers can be found in the cemetery on small signposts at many intersections.  Maps of the cemetery are available at the office.  Or, use these descriptions to find the Sections relevant to this website (see also link to Google Maps, below):

• The main entrance off W. Market St. looks like a boulevard.
• The first section on the right is Section 1.
• The Smith Road entrance is on the east edge of Section 1.
• East of the Smith Road entrance, beyond a parking area and the old office, is Section 1A.
• Northwest of Section 1A is Section 2 and then Section5.
• Northeast from Section 5 is a pond, and then Section 10.  (Section 10 has a panhandle that is Section 10A).
• The Old Mausoleum is west of Section 10 between the middle two of the four ponds.
