Nestled in the embrace of time, Gate of Heaven Cemetery stands as a poignant testament to a legacy spanning 77 years. Born from the vision of the late Archbishop John Timothy McNicholas, the fifth ordinary of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, it opened in 1948 as a sacred haven for the Catholic community, for respectful burial of their beloved dead. Before it became a sanctuary for souls, it served a purpose rooted in agriculture.
Our family attended the monthly memorial mass. It was a beautiful service! Very impressive and respectful.
Gate of Heaven’s family service advisor had everything in order when we arrived, which made a difficult experience more bearable. I want to thank everyone for all that that was done, making our situation better. Everything was perfect. Thanks again.
From the initial contact all the way to the committal service everything was handled so professionally! The family service advisor was excellent to work with, the experience was professional and knowledgeable, and made a very difficult task a lot easier.
Everything was done with such respect for our family, so patient and kind. And the service at the graveside was so prayerfully led by the deacon. Thank you.
Gate of Heaven Cemetery is a beautiful resting place. Under the circumstances, we could not have picked a better place for our parents to rest.
Very beautiful and peaceful place, and I’m very grateful for all that you do and that the archdiocese has such a wonderful cemetery. I also appreciated the monthly memorial, remembrance mass.
