First opened in 1952, this 22-acre former Catholic cemetery and mausoleum was formerly owned by the Brothers of Holy Cross, and formally known as St. Edward's Cemetery in the 1940's. A historical marker on site tells the story of Austin stonemason James Doyle, who in 1872 deeded 398 acres of his farm to the religious order Brothers of Holy Cross; part of the pasture later became St. Edward's Cemetery now known as Assumption Cemetery. This cemetery is no longer managed by the Brothers but they do have a section where Holy Cross priests, brothers, and sisters are buried. Grounds are open 7am-7pm daily.
