Laurel Hill

Laurel Hill Funeral Home and Cemetery operates two locations in the Philadelphia area: the main headquarters at 225 Belmont Avenue in Bala Cynwyd and a second site at 3822 Ridge Avenue in Philadelphia, known as Laurel Hill East. Both properties function as active cemeteries with grounds open to the public for visitation. The Ridge Avenue location maintains searchable cemetery records accessible on-site, covering details such as name, birth and death dates, burial date, section, and lot. The business also supports digital obituary submissions and memorial viewing through its website. The Philadelphia location is open weekdays from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM and weekends from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

The Ridge Avenue cemetery has become a recognized destination for walkers and history enthusiasts due to the breadth of notable interments. Visitors commonly explore the grounds to locate the graves of historically significant figures buried there, including the founder of Mother's Day, John B. Stetson (creator of the cowboy hat), multiple congressmen, Supreme Court justices, and Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander, the first African-American woman to earn a Ph.D. in the United States. The cemetery spans a large area with marked streets, and the grounds also include a Jewish cemetery section within the property.

Laurel Hill provides funeral and cremation services across both locations. General inquiries are directed to the main office in Bala Cynwyd via phone or email, with a separate media contact available for matters related to the organization's recent rebranding efforts. Reviews indicate that customer service responsiveness has varied, with some families reporting delays in headstone pricing and follow-up, while others have noted empathetic resolution when issues were escalated.
