Mount Calvary Cemetery, Inc. — Local services in Town of Cheektowaga

The urns at this cemetery, regardless of use, belong to the family of the deceased buried in the plot and not the cemetery. What gives Mt. Calvary Cemetery or anyone else the right to remove them and don’t give the old rat-a-tat non- use or care. Take a look around this poorly kept cemetery for a bird’s eye view of non upkeep by My. Calvary. Better to spend the time, money and energy on grass care, righting tipped monuments due to failure to upkeep the grounds around them, etc. Also, many plots were sold at an extra cost of perpetual care by the cemetery.

Thank you, Mount Calvary, for excellent and compassionate service. Karen Michelson and Jim Janusz helped me find several of my loved ones resting in peace. Jim helped with a particularly challenging marker and site from 1981. He went with me to the site and found the marker. They helped me refresh and raise the marker. They were both quite sensitive, not only because I was visiting from out of town and could not readily return for follow up, but also because due to military service, we were overseas and could not regularly visit the 1981 site. Karen and Jim respect how important and emotional it is for folks visiting their resting loved ones. They were very kind, patient, and compassionate. Thank you again,...

I stopped to see my Uncle and mother in law on Memorial Day 2020.....the grounds were very un kept, high grass! My dad and many family members are at Saint Stans..... grass there was cut, at the cemetery on Union and Genesee I have to say the grounds were pristine ( though smaller I know) ...... I go frequently to take care of my family s resting spots but on Memorial Day🇺🇸 just terrible to see the grass let go.....as with covid there are changes and I realize that.....but grass cutting is not a group activity......very disappointed with Mt...
