On this we take a stroll in our Ridge Lawn Cemetery to experience a landscape full of vibrant colors, and peaceful places of eternal rest. Our Ridge Lawn cemetery offers our community a wide variety of burial options adorned with mature landscapes, legacy monuments, and religious notations. A beautiful place to visit, remember and honor all those entrusted within our care.

This time of year brings so much to be thankful for. As we take the time to care for our grounds, it is visions like this that remind us how very important our stewardship truly is.

Take a stroll by the Gian-Franceshi mausoleum this . The red granite accents and bronze doors are very striking against the fall colors of our Ridge Lawn cemetery. The family emigrated from Italy to the Buffalo region and became successful in the construction business. They have a beautiful, colorful stained glass installation of Jesus in their mausoleum.

Twenty years ago the October Storm caused havoc across Western New York including on the Mount Calvary grounds. The surprise storm caused damage to many of the cemetery’s trees and monuments.

Our archivist at the time documented the event and recalled, “October 13, 2006 not only changed the face of Mount Calvary it changed the communities we live and work in. What started out as a cold and rainy Thursday morning ended with 24” of snow and the landscape of Mount Calvary changed forever. Mount Calvary’s foundation and resilience was tested and its greatest asset its employees proved that no challenge is too large or insurmountable.”

Following the storm, our staff sprung into action to make sure our grounds were safe and ready for burials again. A truly unforgettable event in WNY.

Our cemetery has not fully recovered from the devastation the storm caused to our landscape. Our tree canopy was severely altered by the storm. Today, you can help us restore our canopy by donating to the Mount Calvary Heritage Foundation’s Restoration fund here: https://givebutter.com/mcrestoration
