Calvary Cemetery Update

      It’s been a busy couple of years at Calvary Cemetery and Good Shepherd Mausoleum.  Here is an update.  
      To better enhance the beauty and surrounding area around the mausoleum you will notice in the front, a flagpole, a large stone with a Jesus at Gethsemane placed on it, along with two large trees and many boxwood shrubs and other plantings.  All of these items were donated.  Along the sides and in the back of the Mausoleum there are four poured concrete pads.  We are awaiting the arrival of four large concrete benches for people to sit on and reflect.  On the side of each bench pad there are new shrubs.
In the back of the mausoleum there are two bench pads, along with a spot for a large Jesus statue with outstretched hands.  This is coming at the end of August or September.  On each side of the Mausoleum we will be bringing in the large transplanted trees.  Five are needed and two are spoken for.  Inside the Mausoleum there are pews that were donated and cut down to fit along with other benches, credence table, etc.  These will be stained this summer.
At Calvary Cemetery all of the machinery is now in the building by the highway.  The building will be painted very soon.  The large pole building in the middle of the new section has been sold and will be removed.
There will be a large opening to drive into the Cemetery from Highway 54.  That will also be done this year.  A new informational sign for the cemetery is in the planning stage.  Many thanks go out to all the volunteers who came out to help edge around the first section of headstones.
If anyone is interested in purchasing one of the last three trees at $700.00 each, which includes transport and transplant of the trees in the fall, please contact me.
