At the Italian Cemetery, each gravestone tells a story, of lives lived with purpose, of families bound by love, and of a culture rich with resilience and grace. Here, the old-world traditions of respect and remembrance harmonize with the evolving needs of today’s diverse communities.
From serene pathways lined with mature cypress trees to lovingly maintained mausoleums and gardens, the cemetery is more than a final resting place, it is a sanctuary where legacies endure. Generations return, not just to visit, but to reconnect with a shared heritage and to find peace in the beauty of continuity.
A Sacred Trust Across Generations
Our commitment goes beyond the landscape. It lies in the hearts of our caretakers and the hands of our memorial artisans. Every service, every ceremony, every detail is thoughtfully guided by our promise to uphold dignity, comfort, and the time-honored customs that define our legacy.
Whether choosing a traditional burial, entombment, or cremation memorial, families can expect both reverence and personalization. We welcome all faiths and traditions, while never forgetting the proud Italian roots that first gave rise to this hallowed ground.
Established in 1899, the Italian Cemetery was founded by La Società Italiana di Mutua Beneficenza — the oldest continuously operating Italian-American organization in the United States, originally founded in 1858.
