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 copy 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 section has some family lots (lots 1 - 36) and also has a portion that are single graves (rows 1 - 7) that were probably sold within the first few years of the existance of Holy Sepulchre. A few years ago, the office at Holy Sepulchre put their records on a computer. They also put a kiosk in their lobby with the records. Because of problems with the burials locations in the single graves in this section; none of the single graves for this section are on the Holy Sepulchre computer. Very few the burials in the single grave rows have tombstones. The Holy Sepulchre computer kiosk does have good records for the family lots.
