Searching for History!
We have been working on researching the history of our cemeteries and as a result we have found a number of individuals that have been added to the notable interment section of our website. We would like to invite any and all of our families to participate in the research. So if you have a notable relative interred in one of our cemeteries please email us with their name, date of death and where they are interred so we can add it to our list. Please include include why they are notable to the history of our cemeteries.

Working Hard For Our Veterans!
We would like to thank Mr. Frank Murphy for his efforts to give our veteran’s the recognition they deserve for their service. For over two years he has been working with Marie in our office to identify veterans in New Calvary Cemetery that have.never received the grave markers that they deserve. He has been successful in getting markers for 38 veteran’s and he is still working to get more. We thank Frank for his service and Marie for her efforts to assist him!
STORM DAMAGE
EXCITING NEWS!!!
The Board of Directors has been in discussion with some interested parties that would like to see the chapel located in Mt.Calvary Cemetery begin a restoration process. This is just the very beginning of what could be a five year project. We are excited that the opportunity to restore a piece of history that has been closed since the late 1960’s has arisen. While this restoration is only in the discussion stage we would love to hear feedback from our families about their thoughts with regard to this potential restoration. Please contact us at info@bcca.comcastbiz.net.
The chapel building many years ago.
Happy July 4th
