 CEMETERY
Celebrating 200 years of faith, St. Peter the Apostle Church is
located in Historic New Castle. Since the 1800s, the parish
has maintained a cemetery. With over 1200 lots, the cemetery has
provided a resting place for many parish families.
The Church has recently opened a new cemetery area, Our Lady of
Peace Garden, consisting of 224 plots. A memorial plaza in honor
of the Blessed Mother is the focal point of this new section. Because
of space limitations this is most likely the final expansion of
the cemetery.

FAQs
What are Lawn Crypts?
Lawn crypts are burial vaults that have been placed in the ground
when the area was developed. At the time of burial service, the
casket is placed into this vault. They have been designed and engineered
to offer protection of the burial space.
How much are the crypts?
The cost of the crypt is included in the purchase price of the cemetery
plot. Plots vary according to size and location.
Double depth crypt plots for two burials are $4,000.
Single crypt plots for one burial are $2,000.
Cremains crypt plots for one burial are $800.
How can I pay for the lawn plot and crypt?
In order to reserve the crypt, there is a $500 non-refundable deposit,
which is deducted from final price.
After the deposit there are two plans available:
Single Payment - purchase price is due in 90 days from deposit
Finance plan - purchase price plus interest payable over
1 or 2 years.
