Lamoni Rose Hill Cemetery
Lamoni Rose Hill Cemetery is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN: 42-0772566), and all
contributions are tax-deductible. Donations play a crucial role in sustaining the cemetery,
to complement unpredictable income from lot sales, burials, and earnings.
Unrestricted donations help us meet the cemetery's urgent needs or secure matching grants for special projects.
Restricted endowment gifts aim to provide ongoing income indefinitely.
We track each donor's cumulative contributions, whether from large or small donations.
Our goal is to one day honor the many "Friends of Lamoni Rose Hill Cemetery"
who have generously supported us over the years.
Endowment Gifts 
Donate to the Lamoni Rose Hill Cemetery Endowment through the South Central Iowa Community Foundation
(SCICF).
The fund's principal remains intact, while a portion of its earnings supports ongoing costs and improvements.
Any surplus income is reinvested to further grow the fund, ensuring your gift provides lasting support in perpetuity.
You can mail a check or give online:
- Mail check payable to SCICF with "Lamoni Rose Hill Cemetery Endowment" in the memo to Rose Hill Cemetery, 531 W Main St, Lamoni, IA 50140, or mail it to SCICF, 705 Ilion Ave, Chariton, IA 50049.
- Go to Lamoni Rose Hill Cemetery Endowment to make an online donation. For larger donations, consider mailing a check rather than online for its full impact— online donations incur a 3% bank fee, reducing the amount we receive.

Volunteer Service
Volunteers are always welcome to pick up trash and debris.
Broken branches can be moved out of the way or stacked under a tree.
Gathered trash should be taken with you since we have no trash service.
Volunteers with expertise and equipment can talk to us about larger
projects (fill in & level sunken graves, seeding burial sites, box-scraping roads,
chain saw work, etc). We even have need for volunteers doing on-line
research to confirm that our records are complete and accurate. Contact
