Lives are commemorated - deaths are recorded - families are reunited - memories are made tangible - and love is undisguised.

This is a cemetery.

Communities accord respect, families bestow reverence, historians seek information and our heritage is thereby enriched.

Testimonies of devotion, pride and remembrance are carved in stone to pay warm tribute to accomplishments and to the life - not the death - of a loved one. The cemetery is homeland for family memorials that are a sustaining source of comfort to the living.

A cemetery is a history of people - a perpetual record of yesterday and a sanctuary of peace and quiet today. A cemetery exists because every life is worth loving and remembering - always.

   Saint Mary Cemetery was established on October 13, 1883 and the Garden Columbarium was completed in 2007. Both the Cemetery and the Garden Columbarium are available to all parishioners of Saint Mary Parish, Ridgefield, Connecticut, their spouses, and immediate family members. In addition Saint Mary Cemetery is open to residents of the greater Ridgefield community.

St Mary Cemetery is one of three Parish-owned and operated cemeteries in the Diocese of Bridgeport. Because our Parish owns the cemetery, great care is taken to insure it is maintained with respect and in a manner befitting sacred ground. 

The Cemetery is located 1.4 miles from the Church, on the corner of North Street and Copps Hill Road.
