The Cemetery, like the parish church, is a vital part of Catholic life. At Holy Redeemer we are blessed to have a beautiful cemetery.

Holy Redeemer Cemetery is located 7/10 of a mile East on Main Street (Highway 64 East) from the parking area at Holy Redeemer. The cemetery is on the left as one travels east. Home Builders Discount business, 921 E. Main (Hwy 64 E) is adjacent to the cemetery. A wrought iron fence with brick pillars faces Main Street.

The final expression of our faith as Catholics is the blessed and sacred burial in a Catholic cemetery. It is our opportunity to rest among fellow believers, awaiting the resurrection to life everlasting in union with God.

Burial in a Catholic Cemetery is an act of reverence and respect for the body which has housed our soul during our life in fellowship with Christ.

It is the sacred right, privilege and loving duty of every Catholic to choose such a burial. The reverence and devotion bestowed upon the body of the departed Christians are founded upon the doctrine of the resurrection of the body, according to which the body is destined, with the soul to enjoy eternal happiness in heaven. As the temple of the Holy Spirit, it is fitting that it be honorably and reverently buried in a safe and becoming place set aside for the interment and entombment of the faithful.

Death inevitably brings with it feelings of loss and sadness for family and friends. During this time of grief, unexpected pressures can often result in hasty decisions which may be contrary to the faith and wishes of the deceased. Heavenly glory is the destiny for which God intends us. We are taught that death is not the end, but a rite of passage to eternal life, to full union with God.

Catholic cemeteries, as a responsibility of the Church, assure loving and respectful care that can be expected to endure long after that of cemeteries under private or commercial auspices. Our Cemetery a place of devotion and prayer for the souls of the departed, serving Catholics and non-Catholic members of Catholic families. As such, our cemetery reserved only for Catholics and their immediate Catholic & non-Catholic family members. We have space for both the burial of caskets and urns in the ground. We do not have an above-ground columbarium.
