Purchasing a Cemetery Plot
Plots are available in Section IV of the cemetery. The parish office has a chart for exact locations.
Plots are 10’ x12’ and cost $1,600.00. Information on single are also available in the parish office. One-half of the purchase price must be paid at the time of purchase.
Burial
Arrangements for grave openings are handled by the funeral home. To preserve our cemetery for future generations, concrete outer containers are recommended, but not required.
Cremation
The Catholic Church prefers that bodies of the deceased be present at the funeral liturgy and then buried. If cremation has been chosen, the cremated remains must be buried.
If another family member has been buried in our cemetery, the cremated remains may be buried in the same grave. A limited number of spaces are reserved for cremation remains in our cemetery. Each space is 12” square and cost $300.00.
Monuments and Memorials
Monuments (upright memorials of two or more pieces of stone set on a foundation) are not recommended for graves without concrete vaults. Raised markers (one Piece of stone only) are permitted on graves without vaults. Only lawn-level markers may be placed above cremated remains, and must not exceed the size of the burial space (12” x 12”).
The lot owner may place monuments or markers when the lot is paid for in full. As this is a Catholic Christian cemetery, all memorials must incorporate a Christian symbol in their design.
Children’s Memorial
Memorial bricks can be purchased parishioners who have lost infants. They will be engraved with a message of the family’s choice as approved by the Parish office. Cost is $50.00
Infants and children can be buried in the Infant Memorial Area of our cemetery.
