Laurel Hill Cemetery

Military from all wars from the Revolutionary to Global War Against Terror are scattered throughout. More Civil War generals than any cemetery other than Arlington and West Point. Closest to a military section is near the Silent Sentinel near Ridge Avenue.

40 Civil War era Generals are buried there.

I would calling the office and talking to a staff member. The number is 215.228.8200. They might be located at West Laurel Hill Cemetery or a cemetery in the surrounding area.

Last I checked, Laurel Hill Cemetery does not offer anything in the way of 'natural' burial practices. However, West Laurel Hill Cemetery — an adjacent, related property — does. In fact, natural burials are just one part of their larger sustainability initiative.: http://westlaurelhill.com/about/sustainability .

In fact, the cemetery organization maintains an searchable online database.: https://thelaurelhillcemetery.org/research/cemetery-records
