Saint Mary Cemetery and Garden Columbarium
Frequently Asked Questions
Some of the more frequently asked questions:
Q. Do you have to be a Catholic to be buried in Saint Mary Cemetery?
A. No, our cemetery is non-denominational and we have burials of all faiths.
Q. What is a “pre-need” purchase?
A. Pre-need is the purchasing arrangement ahead of time, like making a will, many people find this idea upsetting. It is wise, however, for two reasons. Costs continue to rise but, more importantly, when you purchase your final resting place you saved your loved ones from making a hurried decision during a very painful time in their lives. There are enough difficulties involved in sudden or expected deaths – this process eliminates one of them.
Q. What if I buy a plot or niche and then move away?
A. We have a policy of re-sale to the cemetery should you decide you do not wish to be buried or inurned in Saint Mary Cemetery.
Q. What is the cost?
A. We follow the diocesan guidelines, and there are many different options available, please contact the Cemetery office at 203-438-3606 for purchase information.
