Cemeteries

Two parish cemeteries on the Calhan Highway

St. Mary's cemetery

St. Mary’s Holy Dormition Orthodox Church maintains two cemeteries near the church, one on the east side of the Calhan Highway and one on the west.

Who may be buried here

The cemeteries are reserved for Orthodox Christians. Spouses of eligible members who are not Orthodox may also be buried here, and members of other Orthodox churches may be interred with the permission of the rector and the Parish Council.

Plots

St. Mary’s allows the reservation of individual plots or plots for husbands and wives. Plots may not be sold, transferred or given away; if unused they revert to the church. Any change to the cemetery grounds requires the approval of the Parish Council.

Cemetery inquiries

Questions about a burial, a plot, records or the care of a grave go to the parish office. Send a note here and the office will reply, or call 719-789-4797.
