    Forest Hills Cemetery in Ann Arbor, Michigan is a very large cemetery. It is a rural, garden Cemetery that was established in 1857.Walking through the cemetery you can respectfully admire the ornate gravestones, many of while will qualify as cemetery art. I was also impressed with the number of old and stately trees that are prominent throughout the Cemetery. Forest Hill is the final resting place of a number of Notable people including Governor Alpheus Felch and Hall of Fame University of Michigan Football Coach Glenn “Bo” Schembechler. Forest Hills is a beautiful well maintained Cemetery.

    Filed under taphophile:

    A fairly sizable (65 acres) and historical cemetery located in the heart of Ann Arbor.
    The first burial of the over 19,000 in total was Dr. Benajah Ticknor a former Navy surgeon in 1959. The cemetery is aesthetically pleasing with its rolling topography and plenty of shade trees.
