The sounds of Rose Hill Cemetery

The+sounds+of+Rose+Hill+Cemetery

The sights and sounds of a graveyard are typically the same in every cemetery, but Rose Hill Cemetery is a bit more unique than other typical cemeteries. It could be due to the fact that the cemetery has existed since 1840, or it could be the numerous well-known figures that are buried there. What really makes this cemetery so unique is the detail and architecture of its graves.
