The Catholic Cemeteries have a growing program of special seasonal decorations that correspond with the two most grace-full periods of the Roman Catholic liturgical year — Advent & Christmas and Lent & Easter.
We are accumulating a list of those concerned with the decoration of graves and crypts during these significant and holy times of the Church Year. We mail a letter twice yearly that clearly describes our seasonal options and provides an easy means to respond with payment so we can get the appropriate decoration or floral in its place in memory of and in tribute to a loved one.
To get your name on our mailing list, please click here to email us. Provide us with your complete name, address and phone number. Indicate the names of the deceased whose graves or crypts you want to decorate. You can get the burial location description by making a genealogy search.
C h r i s t m a s Graves
There are three Christmas decorations available for placement at graves in our cemeteries after November 15. Most people order them in response to our annual Christmas mailing. You can order them in a variety of ways as described below. Cemetery personnel will place them at the grave/s you designate. The current cost of these Christmas decorations is currently $35, subject to change.
Bear in mind, someone must remove any decoration by March 15 for reuse next year. Otherwise, cemetery personnel will remove and discard them as part of the Spring Cleaning of every cemetery.
Crypts
For crypts, we offer an exchange program. Cemetery personnel will remove and safely store the current silk floral bouquet from a crypt vase. They will install this Christmas bouquet (D below) after November 15 until the Feast of Epiphany (generally the second Sunday in January). In January we will remove the seasonal bouquet and re-install the current silk bouquet. Only florals purchased through the Catholic Cemeteries can be used on our crypts. The current price for the Christmas crypt bouquet exchange is currently $25, subject to change.

E a s t e r Crypts
In 2014, Easter falls on April 20.
For crypts, we offer an exchange program. Cemetery personnel will remove and safely store the current silk floral bouquet from the crypt vase. They will install the Easter bouquet until the Feast of the Holy Trinity, so we can move beyond the busy Memorial Day weekend. After that we will remove the Easter bouquet and re-install the current silk bouquet. Only florals purchased through the Catholic Cemeteries can be used on our crypts. The current price for the Easter crypt bouquet exchange is currently $25, subject to change.
