When we were baptized, we were taken to a sacred place—a Catholic church. Here we received the promise of eternal life. When our loved ones leave this life, we take them to another sacred place—a Catholic cemetery—for burial in sacred ground while awaiting the resurrection of the dead and the promise of eternal life.
As the world around us becomes caught up in the "here and now." Catholic cemeteries like Mt. Calvary Cemetery stand as silent, but eloquent, witnesses to our belief in the resurrection of the body and eternal life in heaven. Indeed, Mt. Calvary Cemetery is a testimonial of our beliefs...our hopes...our faith. And it is a serene place—a place where the Spirit dwells.
Our goal is to find the perfect place for you or your loved one's final rest. Options include traditional in-ground burials, lawn crypts, and columbaria.
