Associated Catholic Cemeteries

 

Associated Catholic Cemeteries (ACC) is comprised of four cemeteries owned and managed by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle.   

The four cemeteries are:

  • Calvary located near the University of Washington in Seattle, established in 1889
  • Holyrood serving North Seattle, King, and Snohomish Counties, established in 1953
  • Gethsemane dedicated in 1975, serving South Seattle, King and Pierce Counties
  • St. Patrick in Kent.  With the first burial in 1880 it was the parish cemetery for St. Anthony (now Holy Spirit) Parish. Administration was transferred to ACC in 1989.

Catholic cemeteries are signs of hope that provide a place for prayer and witness to our belief in the resurrection promised through Jesus Christ. This ministry is extended through the education of parishioners concerning pre-arrangement planning, and scheduled opportunities for prayer. ACC also serves as a resource to parishes regarding funeral and burial issues.
