The Old St. Joseph's Cemetery is a cemetery in Cincinnati.
Old St. Joseph's Cemetery was founded at West Eight Street & Enright Avenue, in 1843 by Reverend John Baptist Purcell. The cemetery received its first burials the same year, and there have been over 85,000 interments since.[1]
Today, St Joseph Cemetery serves Catholics from all nationalities and backgrounds with dedicated, professional service. With 128 acres in its modern configuration, many burial plots remain available in choice locations. St. Joseph Cemetery has made preparations to assure that adequate space will be available for more than 50 years of future burials. The St. Joseph chapel and mausoleum, completed in 1998, has roughly 4,000 crypt spaces. Lawn crypts are also available for those who prefer in-ground interment. In 2013, columbaria were developed throughout the cemetery for above-ground burial of the cremated human remains.[2]
