Hills Cemetery

Guildford Road, Horsham, West Sussex RH12 1TT

Hills Cemetery is the largest cemetery in operation in Horsham and is located in a peaceful area close to Guildford Road on the western outskirts of the town.

The cemetery was planned and tastefully laid out in the late Victorian / early Edwardian era and is approached by an attractive tree-lined avenue.

The cemetery has been significantly improved in recent years and is a most attractive area with mature plantings of trees and shrubs. The grounds staff are committed to maintaining and improving the quality of this attractive area.

A special setting for funeral and memorial services

Freeman Brothers Funeral Directors operates the Chapel at Hills Cemetery on behalf of Horsham District Council.

The Chapel has been extensively refurbished with new flooring, seating and lighting, and we have installed an Obitus system which, as well as playing music digitally, lets the service be broadcast over the internet. Photos and photo montages can also be displayed on the screen.

As well as being used before a burial in the Cemetery, we are very pleased to offer the Chapel as a resource for local funeral services, either before committals elsewhere or as a package in conjunction with a ‘Cremation only’ at a local crematorium.

Please contact Freeman Brothers to discuss your requirements.

A choice of resting place

There are specific areas set aside for burials and the interment of ashes.

  • Grave plots are available to purchase at the time of booking the funeral through your funeral director, or may be purchased in advance either in a pre-allocated position or in one of your choosing.
  • Ashes plots provide the opportunity for the burial of your loved one’s ashes and for the plot to be commemorated with a headstone or memorial tablet.

Pre-purchase of burial plots.

Sadly, due to the limited space available for the interment of ashes and burials we do not offer pre-purchased plots.
Hills cemetery does however remain an active cemetery and we will honour burials and the interment of ashes.
