Catholic Cemetery
History
St. Mary Cemetery, established in 1903 by Fr. Eberhard Pruente has served the Catholic Community for over a century. St. Mary Cemetery is a "Catholic cemetery" open to the surrounding communities. It is also available to non-Catholic family members. If your local parish does not offer a final resting place, you are welcome to see if St. Mary Cemetery could be of assistance.
