  St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery was established in 1854 on 30 acreas of land adjacent to the 
  Virginia Zoological Park and had the distinction of being placed on the National Register 
  of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register as a historic district in 2001.

  Though the cemetery primarily serves the Catholic parishes of Norfolk, Virginia Beach and 
  Chesapeake, anyone may purchase lots for themselves or loved ones regardless of religious 
  affiliation. Ground burial spaces and columbarium spaces are available but at the  present 
  time the mausoleum is filled. A new chapel mausoleum housing 504 crypts and 104 niches 
  is being planned in the near future. 

  The cemetery is open to the public every day from sunrise to sunset. Additional information
  or a cemetery tour may be obtained by contacting Superintendent Alesia Raper at 
  757-627-2874.
