How can we help?

This page helps visitors choose the right next step while keeping cemetery records and service inquiries with Calvary Cemetery staff.

Immediate Need

When a death has occurred or is imminent, contact your pastor, funeral home, and Calvary Cemetery office for burial or entombment assistance.

Call 615-256-4590

Burial Records

Use the public Pontem burial search to look up interment information by name, year of interment, veteran status, or cemetery section.

Open burial search

When a death has occurred

These steps give families clear guidance without replacing the cemetery office's direct support.

Step 1

Call your pastor.

Your parish can help with Catholic funeral and liturgical arrangements.

Step 2

Contact the funeral home.

The funeral home will help coordinate immediate needs and required arrangements.

Step 3

Call Calvary Cemetery.

A cemetery counselor can explain burial, entombment, cremation burial, pricing, and available options.

Important boundary

Cemetery records, burial arrangements, pricing decisions, and family service inquiries are managed by Calvary Cemetery staff. The Diocese website can provide public information and links, but does not replace cemetery operations.

Helpful information

These sections can be linked to existing Calvary resources or rebuilt as clean Diocese-hosted content after review.

Current Pricing

Provide one clearly labeled current pricing PDF or HTML pricing table, with the effective date visible near the top.
