The Cemetery Committee meets to review and discuss Cemetery plans and Cemetery finances.  The set of Cemetery Bylaws state the way the Cemetery business is conducted and the rules for site purchases, etc.

The Cemetery Superintendent performs these tasks in addition to many other responsibilities:

  • Shows and sells gravesites to Parishioners and those who are eligible to be buried in the Cemetery
  • ​Works with the Funeral Home to have the appropriate gravesite opened for interment
  • ​Communicates Funeral information to those that dig the graves
  • ​Keeps accurate up-to-date records of gravesite sales, burials, and transfers to family, etc.
  • ​Plans Cemetery maintenance projects such as topsoil and seed for sunken graves, removing dangerous trees, etc.
