Cemetery History

The only cemetery in the Roslyn complex that buries its dead facing north; all others face east. One explanation is that the northern burial position allows the resurrected to face their church, Roslyn’s Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. Both Polish and Lithuanian lodges used this cemetery, and this sharing reflects the close cultural connection between the two countries.

Notes

Cemetery is in very good condition and well cared for.  There is plenty of park available.  The oldest marked grave was from 1902 with the most recent burial in 2003.
