Pieta and Entrance Upgrades
The historic Pietà structure at the entrance of Our Mother of Sorrows Cemetery has sustained damage. We are making every effort to notify affected families and assist with relocating their loved ones from the damaged structure to the new columbarium.
If you are the executor or deed holder for a niche within the damaged columbarium and would like to arrange for your loved one to be relocated to the new structure, please contact the cemetery office for assistance.
We understand the importance of honoring your loved ones with dignity and care, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this process.
Once families have been moved, we will begin demolition of the old site and construction on restoring the old entryway and installation of a new gate. We appreciate your patience!
