A Few Suggestions for Navigating Calvary Cemetery

Excerpts from Mail List Participants


Jim Cook: "The first trick is to be able to identify the right section. The small black curbs running along the roads through Calvary are periodically labelled with the section number in white stencil. Once you find these, it becomes much easier to follow along on the little map as you drive around. I always bring my wife along so she can help me navigate while I drive.

The other trick is that, if the folks in the front office aren't too busy, you could ask them give you the name on the first headstone of the row you're interested in. I tried this the last time I went, and it worked like a charm."
