St. Patrick Catholic Cemetery is a sacred place where our loved ones rest in eternal peace, surrounded by our parish community’s prayers, love, and care. It is five peaceful acres nestled within the pines of our Church grounds.
Our cemetery provides ground burials for both traditional and cremation options, as well as above-ground internment of cremains in our columbaria. Next to our meditation garden is a special place dedicated to infant and miscarried baby burials.

Decorations
Natural decorations such as potted plants, cut flowers, and evergreen wreaths are preferred; however, natural-looking artificial flowers are permitted. All decorations must be off the ground and secured in an approved plant stand, which can be purchased from St. Patrick Cemetery.
In an effort to keep this sacred place beautiful, the Cemetery Authority reserves the right to remove items that become weathered, unsightly, or unseasonal.
For safety reasons, no glass or ceramic decorations are allowed in the cemetery.
No decorations are permitted on any columbarium niches or miscarried baby burial plots.
Christmas arrangements are permitted from Thanksgiving to Candlemas (February 2). Items remaining after February 2 will be donated or discarded.
Spring & Fall Cleanup
The first week of May and the last week of October each year are the cemetery’s Spring and Fall Cleanup days. Artificial flowers faded by the sun should be replaced. Live plants should be removed before the winter frost. Secure all planters to the plant stand with zip ties or weigh them down with rocks to prevent them from being blown away. Drill holes in the bottom of planters to prevent standing water from accumulating.
