Mount Hope Cemetery, Funeral Chapel & Reception Center

Mount Hope, is a beautiful final resting place spanning acres of peaceful, landscaped grounds in the heart of Topeka. To learn more visit, MountHopeTopeka.com

To view a tour of our gardens please visit, https://youtu.be/t2H6Crlst_s. Centrally located on the north side of the cemetery, our mausoleum provides dignified, dry, above-ground burial in an indoor environment. Within the mausoleum walls, The Tranquility Courtyard is a beautiful outdoor space offering burial spaces within the mausoleum walls, and cremation niches for the placement of one or more urns. Three fountains add the soothing sounds of nature and create a peaceful ambiance for remembrance and contemplation. Funeral and memorial ceremonies may be held in one of our beautiful chapels, eliminating the need for families and guests to travel from a separate location.

Our team visited Wilbert Vault in Kansas City for hands-on training focused on cemetery vaults and their manufacturing process.
We are sometimes asked why a burial vault is needed and what purpose it serves. A casket is designed to enclose the body, while the outer burial container, commonly known as a vault, encloses the casket. The vault helps sustain the weight of the earth above and protects the casket from the elements. For families who choose cremation with urn burial, an urn vault serves the same purpose by protecting the urn. Most cemeteries require an outer burial container to help preserve the integrity of the grave space and prevent settling caused by earth and heavy machinery.

Merry Christmas to all of the families we have been honored to serve. 🎄❤️

Today can bring a mix of emotions, especially for those who are navigating the holidays after the loss of a loved one. Traditions may feel different, and moments of joy and sadness can exist side by side and that’s okay.

If it brings you comfort, we encourage you to share memories, tell stories, and speak the name of those you hold close in your heart. Remembering them is a meaningful way to keep their love present today.

From our family to yours, we are wishing you peace and comfort this Christmas.

Our Annual Fall Clean-Up is happening this Saturday, November 15th!

Please take a moment to remove any decorations before that date so they don’t get discarded. We also recommend waiting a day after clean-up to place new decorations, just to make sure nothing gets caught in the mix.

Thank you so much for your understanding and help in keeping our grounds looking beautiful! 🍂

Yesterday, we had the privilege of hosting our annual Memorial Day service—a meaningful tradition that allows us to honor and remember the brave servicemen and women who gave their lives in service to our country. It is always an honor to welcome veterans and their families to join us in this ceremony of gratitude and remembrance.

We extend our sincere thanks to Colonel Molly Gillock, Director of Logistics for the Kansas Army National Guard, for serving as our guest speaker and for her moving remarks that so powerfully captured the spirit of Memorial Day.

We are also grateful to the many individuals and organizations who contributed to the service: Capital City Chorus, Ron Brown, Topeka West High School Army JROTC, Topeka High School Marine Corps JROTC, Highland Park High School Air Force JROTC, Washburn Rural High School Air Force JROTC, Junction City High School Army JROTC, the Topeka Police Department Honor Guard, and Jay Stevenson. Your participation made this remembrance truly special.
