Development is underway at Queen of Peace Cemetery in Old Westbury. Queen of Peace is located just 2 miles north of Cemetery of the Holy Rood. Even though construction is still in the initial stages, a limited number of graves are now available for immediate purchase.  These graves will ensure that Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island can continue to fulfill our mission of serving the Catholic community of Nassau County.

The grounds in the initial burial section – Section 1 – were blessed by Bishop John O. Barres on Monday, May 4th, 2020. The Bishop’s blessing designated this section as “Sacred ground” and therefore appropriate for Catholic burials. Phase 1 of development, which will continue throughout calendar year 2021, will include the construction of our Chapel, Administration Building, Mausoleums, and our Maintenance Building.
