🎄❤️ Less Than 4 Months to Make a Difference! ❤️🎄

The holiday season may still feel a little ways off, but Wreaths Across America Day will be here before we know it! 🇺🇸

There are less than 4 months left to sponsor a wreath for a veteran laid to rest at Gethsemane Cemetery. Each wreath is a small way to say “I Remember. I Honor. I Teach.”

Our goal is to have a wreath placed for all 5000 veterans buried here at Gethsemane Cemetery and St. Mary's Cemetery. For just $17, you can help us place a beautiful live wreath on the grave of a veteran this December. 🇺🇸🌲

Whether you sponsor one wreath or several, every wreath makes a difference and helps ensure that the service and sacrifice of our veterans are never forgotten.

🇺🇸 Help us reach our goal and honor the heroes who gave so much for our country. Click below for our wreath sponsorship page.

🌸 Good afternoon, everyone! 🌸

We want to let our community know that we will be starting monthly grave cleanings beginning next week to help maintain the beauty and integrity of our grounds.

Recently, we've seen an increase in artificial decorations that do not comply with our cemetery guidelines. As a courtesy, we're asking that if you have any items at your loved one's gravesite you'd like to keep, please stop by this week to collect them before our cleanings begin. If you see this post, we would greatly appreciate you spreading the word to friends, family, or others who may be affected, as it is difficult for us to reach each individual family by phone.

We understand how meaningful it is to decorate and care for a loved one's resting place — it's often an important part of the grieving process and a beautiful way to stay connected to those we've lost. Please know that we love and care deeply for every family we serve, and our goal is always to be supportive while also upholding the rules that help us maintain our cemetery for everyone.

As a reminder, our policy permits up to two artificial floral bouquets in a plastic or metal vase per gravesite; other artificial decorations are not permitted.

We kindly ask that sentimental or meaningful items not be left at the gravesite, as unfortunately, they may be subject to theft or removal.

Beginning in September, any items that do not comply with our guidelines will be removed and discarded during our monthly cleanings.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. 🙏 If you have any questions about this policy or about specific decorations, please don't hesitate to reach out to our office at 610-929-2613. 💐🕊️

Professing belief in the resurrection of the dead, the Catholic church insists that the deceased be laid to rest in a consecrated place. At Gethsemane, you’ll have an opportunity to learn more about creating a common gathering place that your loved ones can visit to reflect, connect and pay tribute for many generations. With property types for every preference and budget, your legacy deserves Gethsemane Cemetery.
