Graves are available for purchase at St. Joseph Cemetery on both pre-need and at-need basis. There is an excellent selection of single grave lots (burial for two) and multiple grave lots in the main cemetery and in the St. James the Apostle section.  If you are interested in purchasing a grave, please contact our office to arrange a convenient appointment.  Interment options at St. Joseph Cemetery include traditional below-ground burial, below-ground in lawn crypts, below-ground burial of cremated remains in family graves, and below-ground burial of cremated remains in our cremains garden adjacent to Maguire Chapel.

Perpetual care of each grave is included in the purchase price and is provided by the Association. Perpetual care consists of cutting the grass, raking and cleaning the grounds, and pruning and maintenance of the shrubs and trees which have been planted by the Association. The planting of shrubs and trees, as well as placement of brick or stone enclosures, fences and ornaments at the gravesites is prohibited.

Monuments may be erected in accordance with the Association’s regulations, which are designed to enhance the beauty of the cemeteries. Local monument dealers are familiar with our requirements and would be able to explain the guidelines for a particular grave. Monument inscriptions are also provided through a monument dealer. The Association requires a permit signed by the lot owner or his/her heirs for all installations of monuments or inscriptions.

As an additional service for our lot owners and family members, we have instituted a monument cleaning program at Holyhood and St. Joseph Cemeteries.
