Collection: Holy Cross Cemetery - Pensacola
Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery is a non-profit perpetual care cemetery that is owned and maintained by the Catholic Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee. This holy ground is blessed by the Bishop. He and the people of the Diocese are dedicated to maintaining the laws, traditions and customs that offer consolation and hope to the families whose loved ones are interred here as a place of final rest.
Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery is a plot of 40 acres in the East Hill section of Pensacola, Florida, located at 13th Avenue and Hayes Street. It was purchased in 1914 in anticipation of future needs, and it was developed as a cemetery for Catholic burials in 1942. Today the cemetery serves the needs of the entire Pensacola Christian community.
Features of the original design include the Priest’s Mound in which those men who have served the missions and parishes of the Diocese are buried. The Stations of the Cross, Pieta and other monuments are tastefully located throughout the grounds.
