The New Columbarium and Terrace Gardens
-
Approved!
Holy Mount Cemetery will soon see the construction of its new Terrace Gardens and Columbarium. After 22 years of waiting, the members of the Public Planning Board Meeting on May 23 voted unanimously to approve our proposal to restore and have opportunities to bury our loved ones in Holy Mount Cemetery (est. 1882). The Cemetery now contains over 5,500 graves and two Mausoleums on 4.5 acres of land off California Road. We had been blessed with approval from the Town of Eastchester Zoning Board and received the unanimous approval from the Town Architectural Review Board. Now the process is complete and with careful respect for the town, rules for cemeteries and stated concerns of our neighbors, we will begin enacting our wonderful plan of construction and sale of niches.
I want to thank the Parish Finance Council, the Archdiocesan Office of Cemeteries, the design team put together by W. L. KELLY & ASSOCIATES INC., Construction Management & Development Services, the Town of Eastchester and the entire Parish of Immaculate Conception and Assumption of Our Lady for their support in bringing this project to life. Much more to come in the weeks and months ahead.-- Fr. Sorgie

About Holy Mount
-
Holy Mount Cemetery is nestled in the Lake Isle section of Eastchester. It serves as final resting place for many of our parish families. We regret that there are no full-body burial spots available for purchase; however, we will soon have over 1,600 niches available for those who will opt for burial through cremation.
If you know the plot of a deceased friend or family member, you can use our diagram of the cemetery to locate the spot.
The entrance to the cemetery is inconspicuous, but driving directions are available.
There are a number of regulations to ensure the dignity of all who are interred or who visit the cemetery and to ensure that the Catholic nature of Holy Mount is respected.
