Cemeteries

Serving the Catholic Community
Since 1857

Since 1857, the ministry of these Catholic Cemeteries is the work of consolation as our part of the ministry of Christ —
we reverently bury the dead
we compassionately support the living who mourn them

SUMMER
DECORATIONS
AT GRAVES

Decorations at graves fit into
two categories:
1. Raised markers and monuments:
Plantings within one-foot of the marker on three sides of the marker are permitted through the growing season.

2. Flat (flush or lawn-level) markers:
A cemetery-approved permanent vase is required to decorate at a grave. Anything placed at the grave or stuck in the ground will be removed in time by our cemetery crews.

Order floral bouquets for grave vases.
