Forest Hills Cemetery is both a beautiful and historic place to visit. Besides the varied and interesting monuments and tombstones there is a wide selection of public art to view and a large variety of wildlife including hawks, herons and geese. Be sure to get a map at the office and visit some of the more famous graves, including E.E. Cummings, Anne Sexton and Eugene O'Neill, to name just a few. A wonderful place for an evening stroll and dogs on leash are welcome to most parts of the cemetery. Burial plots are available in the cemetery as well as in the crematorium.
