The Catholic cemetery is an essential component of the Catholic Church's Ministry concerning the disposition of bodies of the faithful deceased. The Catholic cemetery is a visible symbol of our faith and hope of the Resurrection. "The burial of the dead is a corporal work of mercy; it honors the children of God, who are temples of the Holy Spirit." (Catechism of the Catholic Church #2300).

As a Catholic cemetery, St. Joseph Cemetery is an extension of the local community of faith, a holy place of repose of the bodies of our beloved deceased, and a place of prayerful remembrance for the living.


For information regarding purchase of lots in St. Joseph Cemetery, please call the cemetery office.

Because the cemetery is not supported by any church or diocesan funds, it depends solely for its maintenance on the fees charged for sale of lots, opening and closing fees, and foundation fees, plus the freewill offerings given by those who appreciate our cemetery. If you would like to make a donation to the upkeep of the cemetery, please mail your donation to the address below.
