Welcome
Welcome to Cedar Grove Cemetery, located on the beautiful University of Notre Dame campus. Cedar Grove Cemetery provides a dignified Christian burial to members of the Notre Dame community. By setting aside a holy place for burial, Cedar Grove Cemetery offers a fitting environment for full liturgical celebrations. Just as in life, we believe that in death the human body deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. We also foster a type of remembering that is enlightened by faith and sees death as a bridge to the Communion of Saints. Our bond with the believing is not broken by death.
“Coming Home”
A University initiative called “Coming Home” has resulted in the constuction of two mausolea, named Our Lady of Sorrows at Cedar Grove Cemetery. Our Lady of Sorrows at Cedar Grove Cemetery expands burial opportunities to include above-ground interment as full-body and cremated remains. In addition to Notre Dame faculty, staff and retirees with the requisite years of service, “Coming Home” extends purchasing eligibility to Notre Dame alumni and members of Sacred Heart Parish.
