Calvary Cemetery

1600 Newburg Road
Established in 1921 – 160 acres (120 acres in use)

Calvary Cemetery opened in 1921 and is the largest of the Catholic cemeteries. Calvary is home to the Catholic Cemeteries office. A statue of Rachel mourning silently sits in the center of the Holy Innocents section for infants of all faiths.

Archbishops Floersh and McDonough and Bishop Maloney are buried at Calvary in the section for Diocesan priests. The Sisters of Mercy, Resurrectionist priests and Xaverian brothers also have lots at Calvary. Various sized lots, community mausoleums and columbariums, two committal chapels and family mausoleums transform the valleys and hills into a city of stone and art.

Approximately 50,000 have been laid to rest at Calvary.
