Second Saturday Volunteer Event

Mount Hope Cemetery is a one-of-a-kind environment that features an extraordinary landscape. Maintaining the vast amount of grounds could not be done without the help of volunteers and community support.

Volunteers are led by experienced cemetery landscape professionals through routine landscaping maintenance (such as mulching, weeding, raking, and planting) and special projects.

Volunteer events are held rain or shine. Volunteers must be able to lift 30lbs, and dress weather and work appropriately (boots and long pants). Tools, safety equipment (gloves, eye and ear protection) and water are provided, but feel free to bring your own provisions. Sunscreen and insect repellent is advised.

Volunteers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a chaperone at all times while on the grounds.
