East Harrisburg Cemetery, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

It began in 1875, a legacy unfolding on the gentle slopes of East Harrisburg. On that ground, in the Borough of Penbrook, a simple cemetery of remembrance was established that over the years has expanded to include reflective grounds, a greenbelt for the community, and a heritage unlike any other in greater Harrisburg.

East Harrisburg Cemetery is more than just a cemetery. It is a place where all are welcome, a place that blends the world of those who have passed, and those they have left behind, together in a new approach and harmony that is reflective, but celebrates the lives of those who have passed.

The Harrisburg Greenbelt is just one of the unique features of the grounds. The Greenbelt buffers East Harrisburg Cemetery and winds its way around the Capital City connecting the beautiful cemetery to the greater community. Coupled with an arboretum enhancement program, and a stunning historic mausoleum, East Harrisburg Cemetery is an emerging symphony of lasting beauty and life.
