St. Mary Cemetery & Funeral Center

Consecrated by Bishop Robert Armstrong in 1929, St. Mary’s Cemetery is the final resting place for more than 65,000 faithful departed. With more than 70 acres of developed and undeveloped cemetery land, Bishop Patrick Kean suggested that St. Mary’s Mausoleum should assume the typical form of a Catholic Church. With the Mausoleum as its dominant feature, the property houses many of the community’s specialty cemeteries, including the Russian Orthodox Cemetery, the Sacramento County Veterans Cemetery, and the Sacramento County Cemetery. As the Diocese of Sacramento’s major cemetery, St. Mary’s serves the Catholic and Christian communities of the surrounding community.
