For more information, please call the office at (516) 334-7990 and our customer service team will be able to assist you.

We have 3 Masses scheduled for April at Cemetery of the Holy Rood. All will be celebrated in Holy Rood Chapel: - Saturday, April 2nd at 9:30 AM - Saturday, April 9th at 9:30 AM - Saturday, April 23rd at 9:30 AM For the full Mass schedule, please visit www.CCLongIsland.org.

Christine- Sorry to hear about your father. Prior to burial, a committal service will be held with one of our deacons at the cemetery. This service can be held either graveside or in the cemetery's chapel. If you prefer to use the chapel, please have the funeral home notify the cemetery when making the burial arrangements. Please keep in mind this committal service (approximately 10 minutes long) would be separate from a funeral Mass. Unfortunately, funeral Masses are not celebrated at the cemetery and would need to be arranged at a local parish.

Maximum casket dimensions may vary slightly depending on the mausoleum building. Please contact the office (516-334-7990) to speak with a Customer Sales & Service Representative who will be able to look up the exact location and provide this information for you.

I tried to get a copy of the deed where my dad is laid to rest as the original deed has been misplaced. They explained in their own warped way that was impossible and everything had to be done via affidavit and many hrs of phone calls and running around. You can try but based on my past and current experiences all I can say is I hope you're more successful than I was...good luck as the offices for some reason are closed ur burials are happening daily...hope this helps...

Community Mausoleums offer a number of options to meet the preferences and budgets of those families that prefer above ground entombment. The price of a mausoleum crypt can compare favorably with the total cost of ground burial.
