CALVARY CEMETERY

Bella Morte Rating: 1 Tombstone
Mount Calvary is one of four Catholic cemeteries in the diocese of Youngstown and covers a respectable 150 acres. Unfortunately, there is nothing very remarkable about those acres. There is a fairly large complex of outdoor mausoleums, but, as with the rest of the grounds, we found nothing inspirational in them. Although the older sections have some larger monuments and statues, the newer ones are dominated by small or flush markers set amidst minimal landscaping.
One drive led us to a little valley area ringed by private family mausoleums, but even this failed to make much of an impression, particularly as, once again, the lack of proper landscaping gave a “memorial park” feeling to the area.
When in the Youngstown area, your “cemetery time” will be much better spent at nearby Oak Hill, a mere five minute drive from Calvary.
