Frequently Asked Questions

  • May non-Catholic members of families be buried in St. Joseph Cemetery?

    Yes. While St. Joseph Cemetery exists to serve the needs of the Catholic families of the community of Evansville, we think it is important to maintain family unity. To this end, family members who may not be Catholic (e.g., spouse, children, in-laws, brothers or sisters, or other family members) can be buried in St. Joseph Cemetery.

  • Does the Catholic Church allow people to be cremated?

    Yes. While the custom in the past—at least in our area—has been for people to be buried in a mausoleum crypt or in an in-ground burial plot, the Catholic Church does allow people to be cremated and to have the cremains placed in a niche in a mausoleum or in an in-ground plot.

  • Will St. Joseph Cemetery bury people who do not have the financial means to pay for a grave?

    Yes. St. Joseph Cemetery has never refused to bury a person because of a lack of financial resources. One of the Corporal Works of Mercy is to bury the dead. For this reason, it has been a long-standing policy to provide a burial place for members of the community who do not have the resources to purchase a grave space.

  • Is there room for me to be buried at St. Joseph Cemetery?

    Yes. Although our cemetery is the final resting place for over 38,000 people, a conservative estimate gives St. Joseph Cemetery enough room for in-ground burial plots for the next 200 years. Our current mausoleum master plan will allow for more than 10,000 crypt spaces.
