Calvary Catholic Cemetery
"The care with which we bury the dead expresses our faith in the victory over everlasting death, which our Lord Jesus Christ has won in our human nature by his own death and resurrection. We bury the dead in the sure hope of the resurrection of the body, when their mortal bodies will share fully in the glory of the Risen Christ." - Catholic Cemetery Conference Christian Burial Guidelines; Catholic Cemeteries, Archdiocese of Omaha

Calvary FAQ

Q: What is the size of a plot/grave?
A: An individual gravesite is typically 4'x10'

Q: How many interments are allowed in one grave?
A: Two interments are allowed in one grave if one is a cremation.

Q: Is there a deed?
A: There is no land transfer, so there is not a deed. You get a certificate for "Right of Burial".

Q: Are there requirements/regulations for cremation urns?
A: If an urn is made from a fragile material (glass, ceramic, etc.), they need to be in a vault sturdy enough to withstand dis-interment.

Q: How large can headstones be?
A: For a single 4' grave, the headstone can be 3'6" wide.

Q: Can there be more than one marker on a grave?
A: There can only be one upright marker per grave. A second marker is allowed, but it must be flush and understood that turf equipment will drive over it.

Q: What are my options if I possess un-needed gravesites?
A: The cemetery will always buy sites back for what was paid for them, or you may give them to a family member.
