Holy Cross Cemetery & Mausoleum

Found myself immersed in tranquility, surrounded by cool air under sunset golden light...Happy Easter, Mom n Dad!

Recently buried a loved one there. I often walk the grounds of the cemetery and read the headstones. Some date back to the 1800's. I contemplate the lives of the deceased and imagine what they would do differently if they were given the chance to relive a portion of their lives.

It is very peaceful and I appreciate that there are actual headstones. Pray for the souls of the faithful departed and ask for their intercession. The poor souls in purgatory quickly become your best of friends when you pray for their quick delivery unto the Beatific Vision.

My uncle is buried here as are my great aunts and many family friends. It is a beautiful place, well taken care of with plenty of places to pick as your final resting place.
There are several outside mausoleums, beautiful indoor ones and several interesting areas catering to the different ethnicity, cultures and demographics in San Diego.
Because it is a Catholic cemetery, all the big shot priests and archbishops are interred here as are all the priests and nuns..... But seperately of course.????
One star lost as there are no easily accessible restrooms except in the church.

Local cemetery for our neighbors of the Catholic faith. Good service from the very compassionate staff. Six of our family members are buried here along with many friends and their families.

The office staff is wonderful. Sad time, but they made the process easier with kindness. Love the Friday Mass, too. Really lovely.
