The DTKC office operates the Catholic cemeteries of St. Casimir, St. George, St. James, and Old St. Mark (the latter is full and unavailable for new burials). The cemeteries are consecrated, sacred grounds, which is one of the many reasons to choose to be buried in a Catholic cemetery. We have several regulations in place to ensure the sacredness and maintenance of the grounds.

The current growing season ends soon (November 2). Cemetery regulations are strictly enforced.
