    Calvary Cemetery & Mausoleum has long history. I am Catholic and all of my family is buried there and I will be too. It's exciting see all the good reviews about it. For the bad reviews, I'm very disappointed. You say it's in the hood. You have to understand and remember the area before there was a hood there. If you don't like it have your family members exhumed and relocated. Bet you don't have the money to do so. Your not respecting your loved ones. I'm sure Mr. Dred Scott is comfortable there like I will be when the time comes to rest next to my mother and grandmother and family members.

    This cemetery has ornate metal signs posted everywhere, overhanging the curb. If you pull over to let another car pass, as I did, you can very easily end up with a deep scrape on your car, as I did. Totally unnecessary and should be replaced with round signs slightly set back from the road, like Bellefontaine. A 5 minute visit to the Garden of Innocents costs me $500+ in auto body repair.

    My father just passed away and I called Calvary Cemetery to find out about getting a plaque placed next to his parents, who are memorialized there on, or near, the grave of my great grandfather. The person I spoke with told me that I had to prove I was a direct descendant of the person who held the account for the family plot. He gave me her name, but I have never heard of her before. I mentioned that if my great grandfather and both my grand parents are either buried or memorialized there, how could I not be a direct descendant of the person whom he claimed held the family plots? Well, It turns out she is my great, great grandmother. So, I need to contact her to get permission. Does anyone know of a good app to communicate with those existing in the great beyond? As I've been taking care of the odds and ends of my father's passing, I've been greeting with nothing but empathy from people at organizations I've contacted — with this one exception. I suppose the man who I talked with could have been having a bad day — although, I don't see how it can be worse than the past few days I've had. My advice to people who run Calvary Cemetery is to at least act like you care. It seems like that's your business. And the guy who I spoke to was very, very bad at his job.

    Calvary Cemetery is in the very top for cemeteries in St Louis and the 2nd oldest in the Archdiocse. Its beauty surrounds you the minute you drive through the gate. There are some of the most unique and spectacular monuments you'll want to see. Bring your walking shoes because it's huge, over 400 acres. There are also several well known families buried here. Beautiful in all seasons to visit.

    Calvary Cemetery and Mausoleum is an amazing place to take a walk and learn some history, especially if you pair it with Bellefontaine Cemetery next door. There are quite a few famous names like Dred Scott, William Tecumseh Sherman, and Tennessee Williams and standing next to their graves is incredibly powerful. I recommend pulling up their Wikipedia pages and reading them aloud while next to their graves.
