Testimonials
We buried my husband's ashes at St. Michael's cemetery and will always remember the wonderful care we were given. From the Service Representative to the young man who shoveled the dirt to fill the grave, the entire staff was marvelous. They were all professional, attentive, helpful and compassionate. Their help and concern were very comforting in our time of grief. "Well done, good and faithful servants."
Very nice people. Grounds are kept neat and nice
The office staff was really nice! Especially under the circumstances of my uncle's death. We comparison-shopped and found that this cemetery keeps the grounds immaculate. The cleanliness of the place shows how much they value the deceased.
Their affordable plans made it so easy for me to take care of it on my own and not burden my family. Plus as a Catholic I am so grateful to be buried in a Catholic cemetery.
I am pleased with how easy it was to pick out our grave spots.
Highly recommended.
