Columbarium

The Blairsville Cemetery is pleased to announce the new Sunset Garden Memorial. This beautiful columbarium has 72 niches for the inurnment of cremains.

Columbaria have been used since ancient Rome and provide a simple, peaceful resting place for you or your family. It is an ideal solution for above ground burial. Our columbarium is a stately structure beautifully placed at the west end of the cemetery with handicapped access. Resting here is a lasting legacy for your family and a touchstone for future generations. The columbarium is an eco-friendly choice and is a tribute that's both attractive and practical, costing less than in-ground burial.

Interment

The Blairsville Cemetery offers a variety of lot purchase options to accommodate the diverse needs of area residents. Lots are available as single grave lots, companion lots, small family lots and family estate lots.

Lots are located throughout the lush, greenery of the Cemetery’s 35 acres, with some available in the older sections of the Cemetery, as well as the newer sites presently being developed. The optimum time to purchase a desired lot is in advance of a death, as it will enable the Cemetery staff to meet the desired needs of the lot owner and/or their family.

Cremation

Cremated remains in Pennsylvania are considered to be “sterile sand” and may be interred in the cemetery or the family can store or scatter the cremains wherever designated by personal wishes or testate instructions. The Blairsville Cemetery has no cremation services.

The Blairsville Cemetery Staff can provide resource information to families; discuss the various options with you, your family and funeral home professionals based on personal desires and beliefs.

Perpetual Care

Title 9, Chapter 3 Section 303 of the Pa Code designated that at least 15% of the gross amount of funds arising from lot sales, crypt construction and niche construction costs are deposited in a fund for the perpetual care, maintenance and preservation of lots and grounds and the repair and renewal of buildings and property connected with and forming part of the cemetery.

The Cemetery Staff and contractors take pride in tending the Cemetery Grounds and strive to maintain and enhance the beauty and dignity of the landscape.
