“A cemetery is a place to which we carry those we have loved, and so it should be beautiful, quiet and restful.” Separated from the city by its brick and iron wall, Crown Hill Cemetery is a part of the city and community, but also a place distinct and sacred.”
Crown Hill’s tranquil landscape is replete with excellent funerary art and sculpture. Elaborate mausoleums in Romanesque Revival, Neo-Classical Revival, and Art Deco style can be found on the grounds. The roads through the cemetery wind informally through grassy meadows and clumps of various species of trees. (https://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/indianapolis/crownhill.html )
