Establish the Family Tradition

For a century, St. Michael Cemetery has been a valued part of the Boston family tradition.
St. Michael was founded in 1905 as a perpetual care cemetery. Today it continues to serve Boston families as a non denominational cemetery with a caring family tradition. It mirrors cemeteries throughout Europe, with more than 200 stately granite mausoleums, filled with closely lined rows of headstones, with ornate statuary, carvings and the personal effects of those who rest here. It is a place where families still come on special days to socialize and pay their respects, a place where children can learn their family's history and where parents recount memories of those whose names are carved on the headstones and what their lives were like.

While parts of the beautiful cemetery grounds may look filled to capacity, a large number of sites are still available. St. Michael has now developed an additional 14-acre site along Walk Hill street and American Legion highway. This land, consecrated for burial many years ago, includes wooded borders, a flowing brook and a 16-foot-tall shrouded cross that has become our signature piece. At its base is a bronze sculpture of Michaelangelo's Pieta.
