I love taking a stroll through Crown Hill cemetery whenever I have a chance. It is especially beautiful during the fall months, as all of the leaves are changing colors! I love that you can see the city skyline in the background. Make sure you go up the steep hill to see the city skyline view. You won’t regret it!
great place to visit for photography and to see historical grave sites
The people working in the office were so kind to help me locate a headstone I was looking for. They had photocopied plot maps ready and even went so far as to use their database to identify some of the headstones along the road that could guide my way and marked them on the map for me. They were happy to make small talk and didn't rush me out of the office. The cemetery itself was beautiful and well-kept. None of the headstones I saw were overgrown or had the kind of damage that comes from careless groundskeepers.
A vast cemetery with some very intricate gravesites. Their website has a search engine so you can find plots easily.
I had a mostly awesome experience after the death of my beloved mother two months ago. There were a few hiccups but they have for the most part been resolved. The service and presentation were stunning. Our attendant Vanessa Conley was EXCEPTIONALLY fantastic we love her!!! I would recommend Crown Hill to anyone. The package of mementos and bereavement support information sent home with the family is incredibly useful! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
As weird as it sounds, the Crown Hill Cemetery is a great spot to catch a view of downtown Indianapolis- the gravesite of James Whitcomb Riley is actually the highest point in pre-unigov Indianapolis.

My dad passed 2 years ago and the experience i had was great. They took care of me and my crazy family with great care. I love the people here
If you've never taken a guided walking tour of Crown Hill, you're missing out. They offer tours of various themes and conclude with an amazing view of the sunset at the tomb of Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley.
This is a great setting for artists and photographers. It's quiet, scenic, vast. I've done a few watercolor paintings here, both as student and teacher. The deer population is a charming bonus attraction. Visiting a cemetery is sure to change your perspective, too: nothing lasts forever.
Please do take a map or use GPS and tag your parking place. It is deceptively easy to get lost. I have gotten lost many times! Mosquito repellant is a good idea, too, if you plan to be out there for awhile.
