Grave Repairs

We have completed the spring cleanup and grave repair process. Many sunken graves have been filled. We will continue re seeding graves as requested until mid June. During the summer months we will not be reseeded but resume in the Fall when growing conditions are better. However, graves that have been repaired will continue to settle for up to 18 months, especially after a heavy rain or snow melt.We will continue to monitor these graves and as the weather permits make the repairs as needed.

Thank you for your patience!

SPRING SADDLES

Spring Saddles are now sold out. We will again be selling Christmas Wreaths this fall. Order forms will be mailed to those individuals who are on our mailing list. We thank those families that purchased saddles this spring.

Children's Memorial

St. Michael Cemetery has a memorial dedicated to all the children interred in the cemetery. Should you wish to visit this memorial it is located in Section 69 opposite the chapel building.

Choices

St. Michael Cemetery offers a number of choices.

The first of which is offering families the option of a graveside service or their choice of chapels at no additional fee. As well as these options we are now able to offer families the option of tents and "way" services  through their funeral director.

We also offer the option of one year no financing with the purchase of pre-need graves as well as the pre-payment of opening fees.

There are many burial options available at St Michael cemetery. For information please contact our office at 617-524-1036.
