The New Calvary Cemetery Office administrative functions have now been permanently combined with the Mt. Calvary office functions. Both cemeteries will be serviced by the Mt. Calvary Office located at 366 Cummins Highway in Roslindale. The New Calvary phone is still in service (617-296-2339) and will now be answered at the Mt. Calvary office. Thank you for your patience during the transition.
GREAT NEWS!!!
In an effort to improve the service provided to our families, funeral directors and the local community we will be accepting the Visa, Master Card and Discover credit cards for payment starting September 1, 2014. We will not be accepting the American Express card at this time.
Administrative Function Consolidation – October 1, 2014
We are always striving to improve the operations at our cemeteries. In an effort to provide better service we are consolidating and relocating the administrative functions performed at the New Calvary Cemetery Office building with those at the Mt. Calvary Cemetery Office. The administrative functions for both cemeteries will be in one location effective of October 1, 2014. The Mt. Calvary Office will house all administrative functions and it is located at 366 Cummins Hwy in Roslindale, a short distance from New Calvary Cemetery. The Mt. Benedict office is not affected by the consolidation.
We realize that this will be a change for our families and funeral directors and we ask for your patience during this transition. Please be assured that our regular staff will still be available to assist you as we have done in the past. All other New Calvary Cemetery operations will still function as in the past. We will still greet and escort all New Calvary funeral processions at the New Calvary gate and the existing phone number will be transferred to the consolidated location.
