Crown Hill is pleased to bring back our popular Walking Club.
From May 1st until October 31st we invite you to get active, enjoy some friendly competition and win prizes! The Crown Hill Walking Club is free to the public. You can sign up online or fill out an application and return it via email to walking@crownhill.org. Walkers must fill out an application before participating. Runners can join too, just follow the rules for the walking club!
Rules:
You must be 18 years or above to be a member of the walking club. It will be based on the honor system and you must walk during the posted times Crown Hill Cemetery is open. (Gate hours: North Gate at 38th & Clarendon Rd. – 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. through September and maybe some of October, then it closes at 6 p.m. The South Gate at 34th St. & Boulevard Pl. gate is open 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. year round.)
After each walk, record your miles with walking@crownhill.org at the front desk inside the funeral home. The office phone number is 317-925-3800. Mileage walked must be inside the Cemetery and miles walked outside do not count. You must fill out a Walking Club Application to be a member of the Crown Hill Walking Club. As walkers reach the miles of 25, 50, 75 and 100 they will receive prizes to encourage them to keep going. The walker with the most miles on October 31st will receive a gift card as a prize!
Please be mindful and considerate of services occurring in the cemetery and alter your route if necessary.

Reflection: Many express the need of a place where they can visit and reflect. Sometimes to share new events, to express struggles, or to reflect on memories with their loved one. You can find peace when you remember your loved ones.
