package price: burial space, outer container and lawn-level bronze
memorial with vase. Lawn Crypts are available at Holy Sepulchre
Cemetery and Queen of All Saints Cemetery.
Private Mausoleums from local monument companies can be
arranged. For additional information, please contact the cemetery office.

family mausoleum or in-ground burial spaces. Custom landscaping and
distinctive memorialization is available on

Traditional Burial Options are available at all
Diocesan Cemeteries in either monument lots or shrine graves. Monument
lots, varying in grave numbers are sold as a unit in certain sections
of the cemetery and allow one upright monument to be installed on the

Gravesite Bouquet Holders
|
|
As you are aware, Catholic Cemeteries have regulations on the placement
of floral decorations at the gravesites. These restrictions have
sometimes resulted in such situations where families place
an improper or a hazardous style floral
containers. It is important to remember that the cemetery
does not permit glass, ceramic, and pin-style floral containers. These
items can easily break and or create a hazardous condition for both
cemetery worker and visitors. We understand that families want to place
floral tributes for the deceased.
In recognizing this desire to remember, Catholic Cemeteries have
provided several floral bouquet holders for placement
program at the grave-sites. Some of the bouquet holders are relatively
inexpensive and are kept in stock at our offices other vases are custom
ordered with a personal memory ring. We are hopeful these vases
will satisfy the visitors’ needs as well as ensure the safety and
aesthetic beauty of the cemetery as a whole.
The cemetery continues to permit planting in the specified areas
in accordance with the established cemetery planting and decorating
regulations and past practices.
If you are interested in purchasing a floral bouquet holder for a
lot, review the gravesite floral bouquet holder information. If
you have any questions regarding this program, please call the cemetery
office.
