Holy Sepulchre Cemetery is located at 2461 Lake Avenue in Rochester about ½ mile north of Ridge Road. It was begun in September 1871 in order have a common place for Catholics to be buried in Rochester. Before this there were a few small Catholic cemeteries around Rochester. The oldest part of Holy Sepulchre is the lots on the east side of Lake Avenue. These tombstone records include some reburials from the older cemeteries.
The earliest book of burials has been filmed. It covers the period of September 18, 1971 to Dec. 31, 1910. A copied of the film has been placed in the Lorette Wilmot Library of Nazareth College (Pittsford, NY). A copy of this film may also be rented from LDS Family History Libraries around the world. Ask for film #1,430,999. These burial records include: date of death, date of interment, place of death, parish, nativity, cause of death, grave location. A few years ago, the office at Holy Sepulchre put their records on a computer, the best part is that you can give them a name and not only can they tell where they are buried but they can also tell you who else is buried in the family lot.
This lot also includes a section of lots dedicated to firefighters. In the middle of the section is a large memorial which says; "Dedicated Sept. 11, 1888 [by] Most Rev. Bernard J. McQuaid, 1st Bishop of Rochester. Re-dedicated Sept. 11, 1988 [by] Most Rev. Matthew H. Clark, 8th Bishop of Rochester. Rochester Fire Fighters Benevolent Assoc." In this listing, men that are buried in the Fireman section are labeled: "FD lot"
