Rose Hill Cemetery began in 1829 on the site of the Independent Presbyterian Church, York's first…read morechurch. Unfortunately, the church is no longer extant since 1864. The cemetery is in very good condition and is well maintained. There are clear paths for walking and a few spots near the front are shaded by trees. It is all quite peaceful. A number of the memorials are clearly older and some that have gates and fences are in less than perfect repair. Headstones could use a pressure washing. But the grounds are good. Two prominent York residents buried in the cemetery are Asbury Coward, co-founder of the Kings Mountain Military Academy and Dr. J. Rufus Bratton, head surgeon of the Confederate Hospitals in Georgia. At least eight Union soldiers of the 7th Cavalry and 18th infantry, quartered in York as the Army of Occupation during Reconstruction, are buried in the southeast corner of the cemetery. Three US congresspeople are also laid to reset here, David Edward Finley, Paul Grier McCorkle and Alexander Stuart Wallace. [Review 13889 overall, 1211 of 2020, number 649 in South Carolina.]

Stopped by this cemetery today out of curiosity. Just wanted to see if it had been neatened up…read more And yes it has! The grass cutting and weed eating are immaculate. Because this is a place of respect it reflects on-the church that owns it. Kudos to Arrowwood Baptist Church! Well done!

I decided to return today and enter this cemetery and have a closer look see. I was correct! The buried person in question was the brother of a close friend of mine also deceased.

A lot of the inscriptions on the headstones are badly worn and difficult to read. There's a couple of benches on site to relax on and contemplate things. Not many people visit here but occasionally a few do. Michael Gaffney was born in Ireland in 1775 and died here September 6, 1854. He was 78 years old at the time of his demise.

From the time I was born until my rebellious fifteenth birthday I went to church here. Several times a year I visit the graves of family and church folks who were instrumental in my Christian upbringing. There are 799 documented burial sites here. The folks who were laid to rest at this place have an indelible place in my memory and heart as I knew a lot of them. Cherokee Creek Baptist Church is doing a wonderful job!

Last week I had to attend a visitation at this place. I must say it's quite a well adorned place…read more As expected the staff here had impeccable manners and held the front door open for visitors. I made it a quick trip. I don't like these places one little bit. Very nice furniture was present in every room; nice paintings were on the walls. I signed the book, spoke to the people I knew, and I left! I'm hard pressed to say this place was beautiful because I find nothing attractive about any funeral home! 4 stars are appropriate!

His suggestions and arrangements for a military funeral were a blessing. I don't know what I would have done without all the personal service Seawright helped me with.

They were very straightforward, very honest and willing to answer any and all questions. They did not try to upsell you on tons of items that may not be necessary or required.
