Locate a Loved One & Walk to Grave Technology

Dear Friends and Family,

In these unprecedented times when we’re searching for “normalcy” amidst uncertainty, we can find some consolation in the availability of “virtual” alternatives, while we traverse these uncertain times.  While virtual will never be a completely adequate substitute for physical presence, especially when applied to the Mass and the sacraments, it can lessen the struggle for a while.

With that in mind, Gate of Heaven Catholic Cemetery invites you explore the virtual tools available on our website to Locate a Loved One.  Instructions for the kiosk and mobile device applications are below.  May you find them helpful and of some comfort during these difficult days.
