CEMETERY NEWS

A wall of Niches has been installed in the St. Padre Pio Cremation Garden. During the month of December, they will be sold at a reduced or what is normally called pre-construction prices.

The Mausoleums will be closed daily at 4 p.m. as they are now.

MEMORIALIZING LOVED ONES THROUGH THE PLANTING OF A TREE IS A TRADITION THAT GOES BACK CENTURIES. IN SOME CULTURES IT IS THOUGHT OF AS THE ULTIMATE GIFT. IN PLANTING A TREE YOU ARE GIVING LIFE BACK TO THE EARTH AND CREATING A SYMBOL OF REMEMBERANCE THAT WILL LAST FOREVER.

We are offering this service for you and your families to cherish for years to come. For a one time fee of $400.00, this gift will stand as a symbol of your loved ones for life to come

How it works:

We have carefully selected specific tree varieties for you to choose from. Upon request,we will give you a listing of trees to choose from along with names and a picture of what the tree may look like at maturity. The selections, planting, care and location of the trees will be handled by our landscap professional.

Along with the tree planting, a remembrance plaque will be placed at the foot of the tree whith an inscription of your choice. Once planting of the tree and placement of the plaque has been completed we will notify you of the exact location of your living memorial.

Tree genus and species may vary depending on availability and overall quality of that years selection.

FOR INQUIRES, PLEASE CALL 716-282-1379 AND SPEAK WITH JOE.

With planting and watering season here, please, if you happen to hit a water spigot, and the pipe breaks, kindly let one of the staff members on the grounds know about it. Should it happen on a weekend, please call 716-583-8395. The sooner we know about this, we can get it fixed faster and the water will not be turned off in the cemetery as long. Thank you for your understanding!
