Choosing a final resting place for yourself or a loved one is not always easy, and you should not have to worry about maintenance, whether your loved one is being remembered with dignity and respect, or whether there is someone at the cemetery to respond to your concerns or questions. At Gethsemane Cemetery, we strive to provide choice, unmatched service, and care, within a well-maintained landscape, while preserving the dignity and identity of  Catholic Cemetery, regardless of a person’s means. Allowing you to grieve, pray and remember your loved one, while being assured you made the right decision.

“Thank you for taking such wonderful pride in this cemetery…It is a beautiful place to come and spend time with loved ones that passed.”

“Thank you again for making a very difficult time a little easier and for helping us give our mother a grand and beautiful sendoff that was appropriate to her personality.”

“Thanks again to the staff, very friendly (girls in the office) and Michael for taking his time and explaining everything to us and answering any questions we had. Thanks again!”

“Everyone I came into contact with was kind and courteous. I came to visit a few days after, spoke to a grounds crew member and was very helpful on where to park. The little things are what count.”

“The only Catholic cemetery we would consider due to location, your compassion and the beautiful grounds. Respect is the theme of your business!”

“This was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life…The care you gave was so appreciated and will never be forgotten.”
