or 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.

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.

St. Michael Cemetery is designed to allow the families many choices of burial services.

For families preferring cremation – cremated remains may be inurned in a garden columbarium, or in an in-ground Urn Garden.
