Our Parish Cemetery: A Place of Remembrance and Peace
St. Paul's Cemetery is a sacred and historic space in the village of Havre Boucher. It stands as a beautiful testament to the generations of families who built, loved and shaped our community to what it is today.
Cemetery Eligibility
If you are a member of St. Paul's Parish, burial is free of charge. If you are not a member of the parish, but have a family connection to the parish, you may be buried here. Non-members, which includes anyone who has not lived in the parish for seven years or more, must pay $400 for a new burial plot or $100 for burial of ashes (cremains) in an existing family member's plot. There is a limit of two burials of cremains in an existing plot. (The plot owner has the right to forid the burial of any cremains in their plot provided they have given written instrusctions for this to the pator and/or in their Last Will and Testament.)
Plot Reservations and Planning
To secure a particular plot, you mush be a married couple (in a marriage recognized as valid by the Church) who are senior citizens (age 65 or older). Burials are assigned to the next available plot, i.e. in the space immediately next to the last person buried in the cemetery.
Monument and Marker Rules
Monuments should be in good taste and always uphold the faith and teachings of the Church. Monuments and markers (i.e. a wooden cross or stone marker) must be in the same line as the other monuments and markers in that row of graves.
