Calvary Cemetery & Mausoleum has long history. I am Catholic and all of my family is buried there and I will be too. It's exciting see all the good reviews about it. For the bad reviews, I'm very disappointed. You say it's in the hood. You have to understand and remember the area before there was a hood there. If you don't like it have your family members exhumed and relocated. Bet you don't have the money to do so. Your not respecting your loved ones. I'm sure Mr. Dred Scott is comfortable there like I will be when the time comes to rest next to my mother and grandmother and family members.
Calvary Cemetery is in the very top for cemeteries in St Louis and the 2nd oldest in the Archdiocse. Its beauty surrounds you the minute you drive through the gate. There are some of the most unique and spectacular monuments you'll want to see. Bring your walking shoes because it's huge, over 400 acres. There are also several well known families buried here. Beautiful in all seasons to visit.
Calvary Cemetery and Mausoleum is an amazing place to take a walk and learn some history, especially if you pair it with Bellefontaine Cemetery next door. There are quite a few famous names like Dred Scott, William Tecumseh Sherman, and Tennessee Williams and standing next to their graves is incredibly powerful. I recommend pulling up their Wikipedia pages and reading them aloud while next to their graves.
