St. Charles Monuments is privileged to work with many of the cemeteries on Long Island. One of the longest relationships we’ve had is that with Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Coram. For many years we have been able to provide monuments, products, and services to Holy Sepulchre which has helped bring comfort to the families of eastern Suffolk County.
About Holy Sepulchre Cemetery
Holy Sepulchre Cemetery is located on NY State Route 112 and Granny Road in Coram, NY. Each section of the cemetery allows traditional upright monuments and family monuments as well. There is also an older section of the cemetery that allows bronze grave markers. One area of Holy Sepulchre Cemetery is dedicated to graves for Veterans.
The cemetery was founded in 1942 and is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre. Since then it has become a cornerstone for families in the middle island area of Long Island.
Known as a serene resting place, Holy Sepulchre boasts grounds that are beautifully maintained. Upon entrance to the cemetery, visitors are greeted with flowers near each gate. This provides a comforting and calm feeling, which is especially helpful to those just mourning the loss of a loved one. Flowers are planted around the perimeter of the cemetery throughout the entire year.
Cemetery Rules & Regulations
As do all cemeteries, Holy Sepulchre has specific rules and regulations regarding visitor conduct and decorations. Although cemetery management sympathizes with the feelings that occur during the painful time of losing a loved one, these rules are put in place to provide a delicate balance between visitors and management. The goal is to keep the cemetery orderly and maintained to the standard that it has upheld over the years. For a complete list of rules and regulations, please see the Rules and Regulations for Catholic Cemeteries.
Holy Sepulchre Cemetery also enforces rules regarding decorations that you may want to leave at the grave of a loved one. Management understands and supports actively remembering your departed loved ones. However, regulations regarding decorations are enforced to maintain the beautiful and peaceful atmosphere of the cemetery.
Some general rules that involve general visitor conduct and decorations include:
- Vehicles that enter the cemetery will not exceed 20 miles per hour.
