A Final Resting Place
Consider Mount St. Mary's Cemetery as a final resting place for yourself or someone close to you. Located on Saint Mary's Mountain and near the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, the Mount St. Mary's Cemetery offers columbariums for cremation remains.
​
Columbaria
​The Columbaria are constructed of gray stone and marble with black marble shutters. We currently have double niches, which hold two urns and are available in the Seton Columbarium. The cost includes opening and closing but does not include engraving of the niche cover. 

Seton Columbarium Niche (double occupancy, two urns): $4,500 each

Arrangements for cremation need to be made directly with a funeral establishment as
​Mount St. Mary's Cemetery or National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes does not offer funeral services.

Payment Plans available, please contact our staff for details.
​ ​
​We ask owners and visitors observe the Mount St. Mary's Cemetery Policies so to maintain the dignity and the beauty of our cemetery.

*Filling out a purchase agreement form guarantees the purchase of a niche. The exact niche requested will be confirmed with a staff member after the form is filled out.
